The random effect is so strong that when I used it I found myself playing a different game.

Teleport in random direction allows you hit dodge without giving a movement direction which will both keep up the counter for the “seconds standing still” aspect as well as trigger a potentially large barrier. It is a potential source for both a significant damage boost as well as a survivability aid if you think outside the box a bit.
Oculus= New sorcerer unique that randomly teleports you to the character select screen to create a new character.

That’s only if you use Teleport in the enchantment slot though, right?
Could have been a nice item but its garbage.

my biggest issue is that every Unique every aspect and every legendary is trash to sorc atm. I mean wtf is happening. The one who works on sorc i dev team must really hate sorc. Community is pissed and they give us a heart that gives resist this season, Meanwhile in campfire stream they said resist wont workt until season 2.
And as you said regardning the Oculus that is a classic and very good in D2 they destroy in D4. It dosent have ANY dmg to it and it teleports you in a randome location is just sooo insane. I dont know who came up with this, but it must be fixed as a priority. And now cant sorc kill bossen no more apove 60+ NM dungeons. Do the devs even playtest this before? Or am i wrong?

The real reason is that in D2 the Oculus would teleport you to a random place if you were hit. They added the item to the game as some weird throwback I guess.
I’m out of mana…I can’t use that yet… Where am I ?

I am further convinced that there is no testing stage in Diablo 4 development

Issue with that is that it only works if the throwback captures the appeal of the original (which this one utterly fails to), otherwise it’s better to not have it in the first place.

Yup - even in D2 the oculus was considered a double edged sword. It could definitely get you killed sometimes. I had it TP me into a pack of cows and get me killed several times.
In D4 though the amount of AOE and on death effects is like 30x more - it will almost certainly get you killed.

This unique is useless unless it is going to place you in an area free of mobs and, AoE’s and Gound effects. If it doesn’t do that, all this thing will do is drive up the death count as it places you in a gound effect or aoe attack that instantly kills your character.

I’m hoping so. I been playing raiment dive-bombing on top of a firewall/hydra and doing fairly well…not great but getting by. Just got Oculus and am gonna re-spec back into dive-bomb later tonight. I’m thinking the random of the teleport won’t be so bad…gonna find out. Will report back 
sorc are being ridiculated.
they nerf the defense, crowd control. give a +15 teleport item along with laughing stats.
aspired by movie jumper. wait… that guy jump to desired location…
an item that makes you around like a hilarous clown. already shown by others that it will get u stuck, randomly get killed.
so this is a april fool item which is just for laughs.

Are we the only class who have drawbacks on your unique items and some of our aspects?

Yeah, I honestly don’t know how you guys play these sorts of games on consoles, lol.
A lot of uniques are lackluster but the Sorcerer ones are just criminally bad, it’s ridiculous!

even removing the drawbacks they are still horrible uniques and stats on them are horrible as well you would expect something more than a 5% lucky hit chance for a unique maybe like 20-25% even being modest…

I’ve said on another post, Occulus can be usefull on specific situations, but overall it feels like a downgrade. It’s frustrating to find such rare unique and having no use for it across the board.
Seems like you don’t know how to use this item properly. But your complaints are still valid.
