Is this the most useless unique atm?

The OP was about how utterly useless and bad this item is, which it isn't.

No one states it's a great item, nor meta, or being a fast uber killer. People just pointed out it's an ok-ish item and mentioned the ways one can make it work, and that it can actually reliably work to an extent.
That said, for anyone not interested in chain farming shaper, trypanon can make a good map farming build, also relatively fast (especially if proliferating by elementalist, but there are also other viable options).

I'd play with this mace if ever managed to farm it, no luck by now.

If you pump multiplier up to 900% the mace dps is still only 50,
even with the best mirror tier flat phys gear you can't get even close to 1c weapons or never mind starforge. And then the horrible speed...

You just can't salvage this item.
I'd love to see some recipes to combine all the worst shit items and turn them all into 1 OP unique.

Trypanon + Veil = Helmet on a stick,
enemies near you have 0% all resistances,
reflects 1000-2000 lightning dmg when you are hit,
50% global defences
100% increased attack speed...

You fail to see the potential. It's not about dealing physical damage, but about proccing the crits. Play it in a cheesy fashion with lots of spammy spells and do not ever care about the low physical damage

Yeah, what this guy said... you take something that does not rely whatsoever on physical damage, or converting physical. Something like wild strike + ancestral call + melee splash and a whole lot of elemental damage on gear and from the tree. The only drawback would be getting the attack speed up enough to be useful.

Each whack with Ele Hit puts the appropriate ailment on the target - chill/freeze, burn, shock plus a hefty added damage per ailment.

Then you CoC with something like arc, frost nova/pulse, or even discharge to lay on even more pure elemental damage.

Or try frost blades with hypothermia, CoC freeze pulse or ice spear - since it always crits, it'll almost always freeze everything (except the toughest of bosses). That makes for one hell of a defensive build.

sad that the vaal skill duration jewel is now limited to 2

with proper elemental scaling and use of very specific items to increase animation speed you can salvage about 50% action speed max and dps will be decent.
But best damage scaling usually is also wry boring melee skill.

I always thought Crown of Thorns was the most useless unique.

I thought up a use although impossible to prove unless you stream(and then you'd have to watch it all),how far can you get in HC wearing it.

As to the item in the title I think it has potential,like someone said Elemental hit is a start but maybe some future unique or skill 'Attack speed is always xx' or something like that.

There is one attack skill wich doesnt scale off attack speed: Vaal Earthquake.
With trypanon + abyssus you can probably make a very nice walking build out of it, constant vaal EQ uptime has already been prooven possible.
