Just read okun's catalyst item mods. Literally everything is a qol boost. Innate: allows u to cast ball lightning while moving, huge attack speed increase, dr with balls, +ball lightning, balls orbit (like gravitational aspect once did), chance to cast 2 ball lightning.... it's one of those items you just put on and games easier since you're plowing through everything already. Ngl if you're pit pushing, lightning spear beats ball lightning. Yes the focus sacrifices a slot for 2h aspect duh. If you run lightning spear and have no flexibility and must absolutely follow the recommended guide, yes use the 2h staff with int life crit dmg and temper lightning % double damage and more crit because damage. You can probably place okuns catalyst in a starter build while waiting to farm that 2h staff. Okuns is easy to farm and 1h weaps drop like candy. The 1h setup lowers required attack speed to hit breakpoints so it's easier again for starters. Hope that answers the why 1h debacle
Point is i don’t even cast while moving. It’s nice to have but not needed. As i said before. Things will instantly die from LS, BL is just a filler when you’re stuck on a pack of mobs that refuse to die in 2 secs. I agree that noone is forced to only run staff. However if you use the new focus unique then might as well just play pure BL sorc instead of LS sorc. A normal 1-2ga focus is better for any LS build as you get your temper and extra aspect to make up for losing the staff. Again noone said we must follow guide like sheeps.
