How is an Occulus useless? At least an Occulus is consistent. If you find an Occulus, it will always have +3 to Sorc skills, not to mention all of it's other nice mods. If you find an Eschuta's, you get +1-3 to Sorc skills, and +1 is craptastic, even if you get the full +20% to Fire/Lightning skills with it, and won't boost your skills as much as a simple +3 to Sorc skills will (at least not the lightning ones, and not by a long shot, I can imagine it's the same for fire). A full powered Eschuta's, even with just +10% to Fire/Lightning, is more powerful than an Occulus, yes, but they aren't always full powered, or even mid powered. Not to mention the plus resists, mf, energy, vitality and much lower level req, the only thing that the Occulus might do is teleport you into a pack on monster, which you can easily teleport out of unless you get killed in a single hit or something, which doesn't usually happen since a sorc is ranged and all that good stuff, and by the time it might happen in hell you can upgrade to a high-end Eschuta's. The Occulus is far from useless. Giga, keep your Occulus and equip it as soon as you can.Originally Posted by Tavrobel
