The Occulus Bug

The new wand is…interesting. It has a bug and teleports you into the ground, you’re unable to randomly teleport anywhere once stuck. Using evade or the teleport skill doesn’t eat a charge either.

Using a town teleport, and then porting back into your NM places you back into same spot leaving you stuck.

I had to port back using the map port to continue the dungeon.

if you don’t mind me asking what are the other stats on it

Max Evade Charges 1-3
Attacks Reduce Evades Cooldown 0.9-1.2
Lucky hit restore resources 10.5-21.0
Ranks of teleport 7-15

Was lucky enough to get one in the first like 15 minutes of logging on but… I thought I read it as IF you slotted the teleport enchantment it made you teleport randomly… Nope that’s just it’s feature. Thought it would be cool but it’s useless. The stat bonuses are cool cuz you could pair them with the unique boots pretty well… But with the random location teleport I think it’s useless…

Why do they insist on adding negatives to most of our uniques??? Like why… Other classes don’t have that bs…

Isn’t this on a wand? The random teleport is meme level as it is. But also losing 4 offensive affixes? Yikes.

Update:

Tried running a nightmare dungeon with it and heirloom…

Not only did the changes to devouring and control feel like they gutted my damage but this unique is just a complete slap in our face. You got druids that have build defining uniques… Then Sorc’s get a unique that is completely random but also traps you in the floor.

AND THEY STILL HAVEN’T FIXED BALL LIGHTNING DISAPPEARING INTO WALLS.

You CANNOT convince me that there is a Dev for Sorc’s. You literally can’t. Turned the game off, have 0 interest in it now.

ChatGPT in itself isn’t that bad

This is ChatGPT that’s reached it’s token limit and has entered the “throw random answers at the wall” stage

so it’s not just hilariously useless beyond the memes, it’s bugged too?

really, just delete the class, blizz, rofl

So wait, it teleports you into the ground, 6-feet under, where this class belongs?

No, it’s not bugged, it’s doing exactly what the devs want…

…burying sorcs.

It’s honestly not even worth the employees labor to fix that bug, unique is useless anyways.

-Minus 4 offensive stats, and an offensive aspect
-Makes the enchantment it grants you useless
-Makes the two things it would pair well with (heirloom and Raiment) unusable for it’s bonus because it will teleport you away from combat and you’ll spend the 1 second speed bonuses getting back into combat and removes the ability to do a controlled pull of mobs
-Can teleport you into a one shot mechanic (extra bonus for use in HC mode)

I wanted to post a short gameplay video, but apparently I can’t post links.

Use the preformatted text </> option to post links. (Or put a backtick before and after the link, which does the same thing.) Then people can easily copy and paste it.

I can hardly imagine anyone would seriously use that wand lol

No idea what was in the brain of whoever designed this item. Its side effect pretty much negates its benefit and purpose so why would any one take the opportunity loss, to give up an aspect slot for something that doesn’t really provide any benefit? Does Blizzard actually know how sorcs are using teleport? How could such a clueless unique item got released? I literally felt another “out of season April fool’s joke” moment again when I read the patch notes. I am not going to touch the sorc class anymore until I see real improvement. To me, D4 only has 4 classes atm

for the memes, lol

it’s literally worthless, utter trash beyond that. every single legendary 1h in the game outclasses it even if you’re abusing rainment with it because of the risks associated with it an the fact that you’re liable to spend the majority of the time teleporting into walls or enemy attacks

at this point it’s hard to believe that they’re unintentionally this awful at design and that these decisions are all intentional for some reason

which is weird as hell, because if they genuinely think they’re making good, appealing items then I’m going to have to ask the sorc devs who their dealer is and what drugs they’re taking because they sound wild

Thanks!

lol seems realy op. , so it teleported you into a wall hahahahahahahah

Imagine if those affixes were on boots instead… Or literally any other slot. So close, yet so far.

I mean… is it a bug or a feature? I assume mobs can’t attack you there, which means it might be the only way you survive in high tier dungeons. Attack a couple of times > port into the ground > teleport out of the dungeon > run back in?

Maybe it’s intentional!
