You can, and that's true. You cannot restore the Cyclone Armor charges though. There is no benefit to using Eth Infinity on a sorc other than that she can share it with another character's merc who gets more damage from it.

There is reason, it lowers the requirements. Depending on which weapon base you want to use, this can come into play.

OP: A good strat is to set left click to "throw", as you cannot throw and it will prevent you from accidentally attacking with it. This is, of course, if you don't use left click for a spell or something.

All trades are negotiable within reason :)

I guess. But why would you want to use any base except a Brandistock (unless you're sharing it with a merc on another char)? And for a Brandistock specifically, torch and anni get you to the requirements. So Eth is pointless. Similarly for a popular base like a Scythe.

I'd imagine if you're worried about the base being Eth, it's because it needed to be Eth anyway for a completely different reason - upping the damage for the merc.

People literally just use Eth scythes because they can. That's it. Pure style points. No real reason. Requirements don't come into play.

BTW Cyclone sucks too, so the charges there are a VERY minor consideration.

You want to use a War Scythe because it looks cooler! 😎

When cast in the correct order, Cyclone Armor actually ain't that bad for an ES sorc. (Esp. on HC)

The extra fire damage is quite low because it's added to the percentage you get from Fire Mastery.

With several equipment setups it does not make much of a difference whether you have 30 or 40 fcr on weapon, e.g. Magefist + arach+ Spirit Monarch = 75; +30 from occu and you are good.

Occu not only gives all res but also 20 vita and most importantly 50 mf. The only drawback is the auto- Teleport.

Cyclone Armor on an ES Sorc is a strong extra layer of defense. Is it mandatory? No. Is it noticeable? Yes. And since it only takes 5% of the damage with maxed ES, it lasts almost forever.

19 fire skill damage is too low to utilized over oculus?

At lvl 40, Fire Mastery is at +303%

In addition, you get some more from facets and Uber jewel.

So your +20% will effectively be around +4.7%.

The stronger your build is, the less important this extra damage becomes. It will barley change your total kill speed. But those 50mf can make a huge difference on the loot you get.

Occu is not "better", there is a trade off. You can decide what you prefer more: More def and more MF or a bit more damage.
