A new color tier above purple. Legendaries provide unique affix bonuses and generally have 20% more attribute bonuses than their purple counterparts, including critical (as they are a new tier). Unlike purple items, legendaries give the same number of attribute points for single and double attribute. For example, if a split-attribute purple item gave +10 to 2 attributes, then the legendary in the same slot of the same level would give +24 to 1 attribute or +12 to 2 attributes.

All legendaries are unique-equipped (you can never have more than 1 instance of each legendary equipped at any time]).

Legendaries are never part of a set except where otherwise specified.

While some of these are built around the existing class sytem, you can probably find a way to work most of them into the future character build system.
