With respect, I cannot disagree with you more emphatically. Just because you find it useless doesnt mean every player feels the same way.
To help you understand the power of Occy:
With Occulus and evade cooldown on boots, you have INFINITE TELEPORT. So you have infinite panic buttons. Stuck in a NMD mob facing death? No problem⌠evade. About to be jumped on in NMD? No problem, evade tp. Getting hammered by a pesky rogue and out of a TP, no problem, evade with Occy and hit from distance. Getting stalked by a barb with high HP? Same idea.
With Reinforced glyph, this also gives you infinite barriers and 15% damage reduction. Which also means you have bleed / poison dagger / poison pool DOT stop if you spam TP.
Another use case for Occy: you create a barrier every time you teleport with occy. With concieted you get a damage bonus when you have a barrier. So with occy you have 100% uptime with concieted.
There are quite a few other use cases with occy and infinite evades and this is just to list a few. For example, infinite uptime of UC with flicker boots.
So in short, this is one of the main tools that increases survivability and a key tool for Conjuration builds in both pve and PvP. And Conjuration will be the new s tier this season. Every Conjuration sorc i know uses this wand.
There is a reason this is the wand of choice in PVP for sorc. Are you sure youre not a Barb in disguise trying to nerf our abilities?
Joking aside, i do appreciate the enthusiasm of posting suggestions as i see youve posted quite a few, but this specific suggestion is something we do not want. Want a new wand or new feature? Suggest a new one as opposed to fundamentally changing the nature of an existing one that other PVE and PVP enjoy.

This is a bug that is getting fixed 
Why are you deferring to a bug that will be fixed soon. There are other ways to trigger evades more consistently but at a cost and are not as effective / efficient. And i agree that we do not need to debate any further about your opinion on pvp relevancy. That is a separate thread. That convo ended.
The use cases / benefits above are applicable to both pvp and pve

Considering Sorc cannot even use the Uber unique weapons aside from the annoying Staff, I would like to think they would make the Sorc uniques usable. That Random teleport nonsense is maddening when trying to avoid traps, and even in regular play.
This is a forum to discuss and learn from each other. And debate in a friendly fashion. If you have an idea that improves game play for others and want to debate the merits of it compared to occy, share it. Otherwise your argument comes off as âoh i have secret sauce and i win this discussion but im not going to shareâ.
If you have a strategic advantage that makss you competitive and you dont want to share for that reason, that is fair. I share a lot of ideas on this forum but not everything. But in this scenario, why even post? It is a nothing burger of a post and no one will believe you. Its just braggadocio.
If there is a residual bug that can be exploited that youre afraid about sharing, its going to eventually be found and fixed. So its not a matter of if but when. Im not a fan of using temporary exploits as its a fake win in my book; and when the exploit is removed, the truth of the skill level of all the exploiters is figured out.

Looking forward to seeing your video at s4 start on infinite rapid-fire evades that would make occy-evade irrelevant.
Then we can continue to compare contrast your method vs Occy across the different use cases (nmd, pvp [your favorite], gauntlet, bosses, etc)
For context, i do not do AOZ or gauntlet. And for gauntlet, i would obviously not use Occy. I carry around 3 different weapon types and i choose the one that is most applicable to the scenario
Also with Occy, cooldown is zero. Try it for yourself. Get a pair of boots with âattacks reduce cooldownâ and select an Occy with at least 3 evades on it. As long as youre attacking, you will always see at least 3 evades on your action bar while spamming evade. Also, most if not all of my statements are self validating and / or can easily be proven. If you doubt anything i say, feel free to say so and ill point you to how you can test it yourself.
Terrible attitude. Report in bugs. I will not comb through shoddy player content for potential exploits.
All this rational is precisely why we share info here as players for our discussions. If you want your words here to hold weight, they should be backed up by examples, maths, ect. I try to do this as well even though im terrible at discussion, lol.
To say, âx is working x way, see my youtube channel. Also advocating for a rework for y itemâ when y item is in fact one of the most effective items to add better uptime of utility to the sorc kit, yeah i lost any interest. See all of darth talons more eloquently and adequately explained points.

There are no leaderboards in eternal server, and the randomness from occulus can simply viewed as a tradeoff for the utility gain. In my opinion its a minor tradeoff. If its just buffed to not have the randomness, fine i guess.
Change that to always. Only thing i agree with that youâve so far stated.
As for your info on inner calm, it shows the uptime on the buffs bar above skills, easily tested.
It does, tested this combination the day metamorphosis was added to eternal server. You also dont proc protection or the 30% damage reduction. Its little things like this that matter.
Did you read where i wrote that i dont do AOZ or gauntlet? And did you read where i said i would not use occy in every use case? Again, i carry around 3 different weapons and based on the context, i will change. For example, if i want maximim damage, im going to hypothetically use a gold staff. If want to one-shot a close range player with low hp, i might use a dagger. If i want to do BL, i will use lycander. If i want survivability, i will use Occy. If i want Incinerate build, i will use flamescar.
If i ever do gaunlet or any other speed run, i wont use occy because occy could take me backwards.
As you mentioned, youre a casual player so you probably want a one size fits all weapon. Your more advanced players have multiple weapons, multiple sets of glovss, and multiple sets of vests that swap on and swap off based on context. Hope this helps
Iâd rather just have an item to make teleport cost mana and have no cooldown than the current oculus. Donât know why they try to reinvent the wheel so much instead of using ideas that have always worked in the previous Diablo games.

Youre projecting toxicity where there is none. And if you reread that original post, you will see i said below it âjokes asideâŚâ. We do sometimes have barbs make suggestions to nerf sorc skills, and while annoying at first, i can take it instride and laugh about it later as in some.cases it is clever.
At this point, weve shared our perspectives and we can just choose to disagree or agree. I genuinely think youre misunderstanding my posts bc you question whether im on the topic: Your main argument is to change the unique, and my counter argument is to not do so for all of the PVE, PVP reasons listed above. Maybe there is a language barrier or maybe you only want to hear people that agree with you.
For the record, my intent is strictly to help and make the game better. This is just a game for me and i have no ego in this regard. Im a B player at best in the antiquated eternal realm. Lastly⌠i play both PVP and PVE :). Lets let the PVP reside in the other thread if you feel there are some new points. Clearly PVP is a part of the game so it will always have relevance in these topics, though i can understand your distaste for PVP in general. Im unsubscribing from this thread as it is complete.
Enjoy your day

This is true, i coerced one to admit his post was satirical the other day lol.
Like I said later, the data does show that sorcerer has an edge over others. I am willing to wait for the bug fix to come in first and then see if we need to ask again.
I normally do not care about how others are doing. I know how to mind my business. However, I feel like I have to push back in this community because others do not know how to mind their own business, so I have to follow their examples. This does not mean that my post is not really asking to nerf sorcerer. You did not achieve anything that you thought you have. If the results come back showing that sorcerers can still do things faster or way more efficiently than others, another complaint will be on its way.
So i agree that there is alot of misinformation or lack of perspective that prompt uninformed opinions, ive been guilty of this my first couple multiclass games as well (not that it drove me to post online). I also agree with you that its annoying to see other class players do it to your classes to an extent.
I was saying that posts like yours exist, not that i âshut your argument downâ or something, i thought your post was satirical to begin with. I also thought its nice to see that other players find this trend ridiculous as i do (i liked the last comment you made that stated how silly limited perspective nerf posts are).
If it isnt saterical, see previous replies made in that post.
