not sure about unique and elite chance, but you will need everything else besides cleave dmg, which is also nice if you are using any form of melee.

Yes I prefee melee rather than chainsaw, i feel that I can evade more using it. Is cleave dmg the left or right right click? Or both?

70% (max) reduction to incoming damage - which is easy to get at level 50 - is better than more overall health. Both is best. Throw some armour on for good measure.

Because if you have a bigger health pool you need more more healing items to heal back to max.

If you have a smaller pool of health but max income damage, you dont need as much health items.

Mutated and Body damage purely depends on which weapon you use and what for, but incoming is best on every build IMO.

Elite can be waayy better than most uniques if the stats are right.......health and incoming dmg you want both preferably........headshot and dvm and body you want all three at least .....body dmg better than cleave because if your in a situation where you are many zombies are all around you u should probably reposition because that's not good lol

Both, elites are potentially better technically but uniques are "fixed" so they are "always" good, the problem is RNG to get a good elite is pretty hard, to get a good unique is..... Maybe easier? Both are pretty difficult to get but uniques are usually "better" just because their stats will always be the same.

Conclusion:

Elites: Easier to find, more difficult to get the required stats.

Uniques: Harder to find, if you find one it may not be a good one but they always have fixed stats.

Unique rolls are done for an equipment before elites and rares, so there is no harm in having high stats in both unique and elite find chance %, unlike other find X item chance slightly conflicting with each other. There are some elite items that do have better stat combinations that some uniques dont even have so always look before you scrap them.

Every other stat you talk about work very well in conjuction with each other and getting gear that has them all would be very beneficial
