Sorcerer Patch Changes-Sorc Uniques

I really just have one question and I am trying to understand.

Why are they not changing up sorcerer uniques? I have a lvl 100 lightning sorcerer that is ball lightning and crackling energy. Why do the developers consider Staff Of Lam Isen and Esadoras Overflowing Cameo, specifically, not worthy of an upgrade? Is there something I missing about how these two items would integrate into my build…a build that appears to be almost exactly suited for these two items?

Hey, at least they made the Illuminator gloves less bad. They’re still bad though.

Never tried that unique but does +Crackling Damage Increase the damage of the Unique and +Crackling dmg additive with other damage sources or a seperate multiplier?

Dont know. These are good questions and would be nice to get answers on those questions.

I will check and see if it shows up on the tooltip when I get home today. Multiplicative will be hard to tell. With crackling damage there are so many numbers on the screen and you cant see how much damage each attack is doing.

A 2h weapon and a necklace without CDR and mana regen or mana cost reduction are useless for a cooldown based build and in general for a class with big mana spenders, especially after considering the loss of a legendary Aspect and very valuable stats in their slots.

Nothing can change that, those two Sorc uniques, like almost all of them(the only exception being raiment actually I believe, and even that is debatable given the lacking defenses the class suffers from) are not good for any build in my opinion, rares with good rolls and a good aspect are just better.

Keep them in the stash maybe one day they’ll change all these sad and underpowered uniques aspects, but you’ll need to find a new one if the stats change too(which I doubt they will) that day is not the 8th.
