What is the meaning of unique here? All weapons fit in a standart formula, all have unique projectiles/speed, all weapons have a unique name.
So what will make your new weapon unique?
Must be either of those :
Higher range than any weapon: eg: 1500
Lower range than any weapon: eg: 400
Higher price than any weapon: eg 50k (Frost lazer was a unique weapon until last 2 version)
Extraordinary ability: AoE, stun etc..
Imba stats: eg 1000 gold 3500dps 1300 range
What you described is cd of 0.01 is not applyable because your weapon wont attack 1/2 to 2/3 of time..
6 projectiles, well nothing special for me, make it 60 projectile, still will have same dps and will only slow down game.
Really cool effects? Each time that weapon attacks, a naked babe comes from the sky, makes a strip show and leaves? (Babe Gun)
Already not applyable with phoenix fire sorry..
Only things i can think of is, some auras (armor, regen, speed etc) Which is not so logical with a weapon to give aura.
Aggressive skills ( forked lightning, death ray etc) bound to weapon. Which needs balancing issues, and useless for effort if you ask me.
High level weapons can be called unique. including Photon Bombs and higher ones. (or brand new higher level weapons starting from 40k to 60k)
And items are already unique too.
What a unique is described in other games are imba items. Also Uniques do not have replicas or duplicates. If you get a unique, then none can have it after you. Uniques cannot be bought, only found (mostly on bosses or secret places).
Or else what you call is not a unique, but just an item...
