Diablo 4fans who are playing as sorcerers in the action-RPG have been sharing some notable issues they are experiencing with The Oculus, a new Unique wand introduced in the game’s 1.1.0 patch update. These problems have made otherDiablo 4sorcerer playerscautious about equipping the weapon, especially since they do not know if its problems will strike them in the midst of an intense battle.
Right before the official start date ofDiablo 4’s Season of the Malignant, Blizzard implemented Patch 1.1.0, which changed up a lot of things in the video game. Players have noticednerfs to theirDiablo 4character classes, buffs for Silent Chests and specific enemies like The Butcher, as well as the addition of new Unique weapons for each playable class. Though the expectation is that the fans will enjoy these new features and items, the general online consensus of the community that favors the sorcerer class seems to be that they have gotten the short end of the stick with the new Unique wand.

On Reddit, user Select_Ice_5435 uploaded a short clip that displayed how problematicDiablo 4’s The Oculus is in the game. In the footage, their sorcerer is fighting off an army of Phantoms and the effect of The Oculus wand is seen when the character teleports across the battlefield. However, the issues arise at the tail-end of the footage, where the sorcerer teleports to the left and seems to disappear into nothing. The video shows the player trying to click at several points to see if they could move their character back, but this was to no avail.
Most of the comments on the Reddit thread were jokes about how Blizzard has been nerfingsorcerers inDiablo 4since the class was incredibly overpowered in previous games. Others wondered if the player’s character can still receive damage when they are already off-map. One helpful commenter gave a solution on how fellow players can get out of the situation, and this was to simply teleport back into town. However, they warned that if they use the same portal to go back to the previous location, they will return to being stuck in the same position.
Ever since The Oculus was revealed in the latest patch, players have been skeptical about thenewDiablo 4Unique wand. The teleport feature is quite random and poses the chance of moving into dangerous spaces that players cannot get out of. Hopefully Blizzard does something to fix the issue, or at least temper the teleporting bugs, or players may decide not to use the Unique weapon at all.
Diablo 4is now available for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
