Honestly, I think that the primary use of the Oculus is that you can trade it away for Tal Rasha's Lidless Eye and a grim shield, and still have quite a bit of change left over. I can't count the number of games where I've teamed with 3 or 4 random sorcs, and as soon as we hit Baal's throne at WK3 (or the Chaos Sanc, or Travincal, or ...), they start ricocheting around like ping-pong balls, getting themselves killed, begging for portals, disrupting core monster clusters that melee characters are harvesting, and otherwise annoying and endangering the rest of the party. Perhaps I need to play with more skilled Sorceresses ... but it simply underlines the fact that the Sorceress is very popular now, especially with low-skill players, and the Oculus is a hot, hot item. (Most players drool once they see +3 and MF and don't read any further.)
In short: It's overrated. It's worth more to someone else than it is to you. Chuck it and get a real orb, and put an Ist Gull on your secondary weapon switch; you'll be happier.
:huh:
