Update by Flux:
D1 unique items that returned in D2. Links go to the D1 versions of the items. All of the D2 versions have greatly increased stats, but many have some connection to the stats they carried in D1.

Naj's Light Plate and Naj's Puzzler are set items in D2.
The Constricting Ring is not enabled in D2, but exists in the unique ring spreadsheet.
Azurewrath and Shadowfang are swords mentioned in the D1 lore, but they aren't found in the game. They are in D2, and both are considerably less powerful than they should be, given the lore connection.
Actually list of goodies that made it to LOD. None of those were in the original D2 :)
I hope they figure out something totally new.
There's also Wizardspike, Stormshield, Messerschmidt's Reaver (best d1 axe by far), The Cranium Basher, Veil of Steel and probably more that I can't think of off the top of my head :D
They'll probably include the big ones again like Harlequin's crest, Windforce, and Stormshield. I always wanted to see DemonSpikeCoat return to D2 but they never put it in

The Diggler.
It diggles.
That is all.
Archangels staff of Apocalypse, haha
Anyway, how about The Tavern sign from D1?
Or Griswolds edge
^ griswolds edge is an item, sucky sword. but tavern sign newp. GF / SS /WF / shako are the tops.
I want to see the bovine plate in DIII, I doubt it will though as it was from Hellfire.

I always figured "The Diggler" Dirk was a spoof on the main character from Boogy Night's stage name: "Dirk Diggler". Maybe I'm wrong though.

Azurewrath is a must, though.
I hope the uber-runewords and high runes burn in hell for all eternity.

I can't remember Lightsabre from D1, but eagelhorn did exist and it was indestructible as far as i remember, since bows back then had durabilty.
- D.J.
Devs said, that they do not want to create "new D2". We'll see new classes so I assume that none of the old "top items" will be implemented to the D3.
I expect to see dozens of the brand new "item packs" :thumbup:

Dont just make it look nice... make it fell nice... This is the slayer of hell hordes afterall, blade of the now archangel Izual.
its gotta be cool :)
Cracked bone helm.. maybe.. Otherwise, No! I don't want to see any items returning, from D2 or 1. NONE! I've found them a thousand times over!
I demand CHANGE! No more [mc]SAME!!

I prefer as many new items as possible... even with the same bosses (make Leoric drop that humongous sword). Old items are nice but even if they do return them I'd like them on top of new items...
I'd bet on The Stone of Jordan returning.

If they do I think it would be amusing if they cameo in a quest or appear as a quest item. "Bring the Stone of Jordan back to Cain and he'll Identify your items for free!"
fathom, 08 Shako,08 Valk cause it looks cute, 2 skill/30 str or dex/60 life/90 mana/30 all res/2os circlets. Really hope they keep runewords like enigma,hoto,spirit, etc.
P.S
Whats with all these people using azurewrath? It isnt good.

I have the feeling it'll be skipped exactly for that reason. I don't mind if it's coming back though even though I wouldn't mind just seeing all new stuff.

I agree, with all of you guys. Give the rest of the chars other means of mobility...leap, charge...blah blah blah
In other news, i have a feeling the soj wont be coming back, along with alot of D2 items. Seeing as how Blizz is trying to point D3 into a new direction, i have a feeling that we the players will be seeing alot of knew unique/sets. Not that i think they shouldnt bring anything back, some items mentioned above by you guys would be awesome.

I'd like to see the old item names return, along with some new ones.
Edit: These "rare" (unique) items are, in my opinion, part of the story and lore of the Diablo series, so why should they stop existing in the third installment of the game, which follows a time line?
Hmm. Maybe monsters will start leaving them at home from now on, when they come out to get slaughtered.

that was always a funny part to me, you defeat a goat carrying a giant axe or whatever, and he drops a xbow and no axe to be found. like hey, mr. goat, why didn't you shoot me w/ that xbow?
quest items should return as unique weapons
Horadric Malus, Horadric Staff, The Gidbinn, Khalim's Will, Hellforge Hammer
maybe a few items from the d2 NPC's

I've always felt that the items in the original game (Diablo) to be much more balance. Yes they are unique, and pretty rare but at least their attributes ain't as over-powered as the current runewords/elite uniqs found in D2. Diablo 1 uniques also had bad side effects to counter those good bonuses.
"Quest items" in D1 appeared back in D2. I'm sure there will be a return of these "quest items" present in D2 to do the same with D3.Examples of quest items that appear in D2 from its predecessor:
Arkaine's Valor, Harlequin Crest, The Undead Crown, Veil of Steel, Griswold's Edge.
There's The Butcher's Cleaver, whether the butcher's pupil is related to it is open up for debate :scratchchin: All the quest jewelry did not make it to D2 (Empyrean Band, Optic Amulet, Ring of Truth)
Then of course, there are the non-quest items (the ones that actually require to 'find' them) that made a return to D2 from D1:
Hellslayer, Messerschmidt's Reaver, Eaglehorn, Windforce, Baranar's Star, Civerb's Cudgel, The Cranium Basher, Schaefer's Hammer, Naj's Puzzler, Storm Spire, Doombringer, The Grandfather, Lightsabre, Wizardspike, The Gladiator's Bane, Naj's Light Plate, Sparkling Mail, Blackoak Shield, Stormshield
Quite a handful really. It makes sense that some of these will make a comeback as they did in the first 2. "Quest" items from D2 will make a comeback in some form or another as well. Of course, there will be new ones to be discovered. Heck maybe those uber runewords may come back! Then, there will be the ones from D1 that did not make the cut due to whatever reasons Blizz had in mind.
Here's a mental wishlist (includes stats from D1):
Demonspike Coat!!
AC 100
+10 Strength
+50% Resist fire
-6 Damage from enemies
Indestructible
Thinking Cap
+30 Mana
+20% Resist all
+2 Spell levels
Altered durability
Royal Circlet
AC 40
+10 All attributes
+40 Mana
+10% Light radius
Lightforge!!!
+8 All attributes
+25% To hit
+150% Damage
+10-20 Fire damage
+40% Light radius
Indestructible
Dreamflange
+30 Magic
+50 Mana
+50% Resist magic
+1 Spell levels
+20% Light radius
Constricting Ring (for real this time huh?)
+75% Resist all
Causes continuous damage
when worn
Would be interesting to know what others would think about returning uniques from D1/D2.

Item's like Stone of Jordan and Sigon's set have developed a sort of personality and I'd like to see them in D3 for nestalga sake. I don't want them to be popular though, i.e if Windforce is back, I don't want it to be the king of Bows again.

Stone of Jordan
Sigons
Griswold's Edge
I'd also like to meet the characters who have set's named after them in D3 (ie, meet a paladin named Sigon, a sorc named Catherine)

All this set items or at least their bearers have significant impact on the diablo history as well.
Same for Arm of King Leoric and Undead Crown. Heck he is alive in D3, his legacy should be there as well. Or hopefully we get the Undead Crown again if we kill him. ;)
I think that having some returning items adds continuity to the Diablo universe by showing powerful items pass from adventurer to adventurer. As such, I think that the main items that should return are ones that were both in D1 and D2. Beyond that - I can't think of any that my characters wouldn't be able to live without.

Will D3 items be similar to D2, as in can they be categorised to normal,rare,set and unique?
I would like the names of the items to be based on their weapon type and level, I wouldn't want to see an "Azurewrath" on a low weapon like crystal sword, doesn't make sense :coffee:
But D2 has been good so far, high level uniques still do have impressive names like "Death's Fathom" and "Reaper's Toll".

I miss all of the "of the stars" "of the moon" "of the zodiac" from D1.
The Rune Words might be there, just not as 'Rune Words'.
Breath of the Dying as a giant ethereal axe would be sweet.
Item's like Stone of Jordan and Sigon's set have developed a sort of personality and I'd like to see them in D3 for nestalga sake.
I totally agree with this statement. Although it is disgustingly powerful, I've never felt "excited" about using an Enigma. The concept of the thing is too abstract, and whenever I use it, it reminds me of the whippings I used to get from moronic 12-year-olds who got all their items from botting.
Other items are much more interesting to me, and involve me more in the game. Rattlecage, for example. It's supposed to be scary, and it has a big upside (CB) and a big downside (monster flee) that both reflect that. Blackbog Sharp is supposed to be a poisoned knife that is seriously powerful with the right character build, but useless with all others. These tradeoffs for huge power make the items both more evocative and tactically interesting. Items that are merely superior to others (*cough*Chains of Honor*cough) require no such thought.
So basically, I think unique items should be just that, unique. They should have lots of flavor, lots of power, and lots of quirkiness.
Oh, and I hope they bring back Goreshovel as a good item. Really, could there be a sweeter item name?
stuff 'of the zodiac' would be cool for nostalgic reasons

I agree! I would love to see some of the d2 sets return with some awesome redone visuals and animations! As previously mentioned, it makes sense! I mean why wouldnt some of the old items return, its not like d3 takes place in an alternate universe or something.
I think it would be pretty sweet to see blizzard's new and improved versions of classic sets like Tal Rasha's or Trang Oul.

Stormshield will probably make it because its still a popular item in Diablo 2

I really want to see The Grandfather in d3. It's definately my favourite item from the Diablo series.

[/LIST]
Actually the original Azurewrath was the crappy one, it was made in a crystal sword.
I believe the current Azurewrath is the strongest one handed unique weapon in the game, and the only one that grants an aura. I think Blizzard should've made it "Ethereal" and make it glow in blue.
Windforce and Grandfather.
Agreed, also Arkaine's Valor. I remember when I got that in Diablo (1), and it was so helpful in reducing damage.
Hope they are rare though, items like these shouldn't be easy to get.
