It has no base damage at all, physical or otherwise. It NEEDS auras, and flat elemental rolls on gear as that is in essence it's base damage, which it then doubles.
I think it's pretty cool.
Like base damage matters for an Ele Wander? It's no different, just a budget Wand for an Ele Wander build. And Wands are really hard to roll, so it's good.
And the stats on it are decent/above-avg.
Makes me contemplate making a Wander... Maybe next 4-monthers.
It's a simple fact that there are more dev posts on these forums than on reddit (and that's only counting actual devs, not support). People don't seem to believe this - partially because people see things on reddit before they see them on the forums, even when they're posted here first.
Yeah it's true. The devs do post here more here than on reddit. And all the 'major major' announcements will always make it here first.
But the main advantage reddit has is that it gets 'exclusive' dev posts, as well as the majority of the posts that are here. For example, the Chris post about the new unique being disabled was posted on reddit but not here (at least to my knowledge, and if this is incorrect then there are quite a few other examples I'm sure I could use). When you can get that information + all the information on the forums, there is definitely an illusion that reddit gets more detail.
It's fun to misinterpret that fact and poke fun at it.
Can't wait to see the new unique wand. What a tease.
Of course it will get exclusive posts, like Mark said it would make communication dull if they had to duplicate every message they write AND add context to their messages when porting it over to another discussion forum.
And the 5th unique item being enabled is mentioned here in the announcement forum.

I'm sorry, what would the base change?
This wand has no damage, so what's the difference?
Not the worst base.
Aspd? Tornado is not the worst; crit - same
High level? Well...

That is why many people prefer it.

re reddit vs here: the few times I've brushed up with reddit users, they rather amusingly hadn't read what I wrote before criticising it. I think the fact that it's tiny and concentrated highlights how 'often' GGG post there, whereas here we have over a dozen boards, and if you watch, you'll see devs post in most of them. Mark1, for example, has never touched reddit to my knowledge, and I'd consider his input just as important as anyone else's.
I got a reddit account and posted a bit when Pokemon X/Y came out in the Friend Safari Exchange subreddit, to get access to several friend sarafi pokemon I wanted to be able to breed for good IVs, plus dittos. These days I vaguely follow the Andriod Netrunner subreddit as well, but I've never posted there. I look at the PoE one occasionally, but haven't posted, and have no particular desire to do so.

Granted Mark is the only one that actually posts meaningful things on GGG Forums, everyone else is "do not blah blah make blah bla comments about other players and blah this thread" etc.
Only Mark, and sometimes to an extent, Qarl, post actual things..
In that regard, the Forums isn't much better by what you said. :P
Chris does the news posts in addition to other posts, and Daniel, Rory and Mark2 (Neon) also post here at least decent amount, and I've seen Nick posting a bit recently. It's a simple fact that there are more dev posts on these forums than on reddit (and that's only counting actual devs, not support). People don't seem to believe this - partially because people see things on reddit before they see them on the forums, even when they're posted here first. I've seen several times people post "this was posted on reddit" and turn a thread into a shouting match about why that info wasn't posted here of the forums, when it not only was, but was posted here before reddit.
Chris uses reddit in his free time, and that includes the PoE reddit. Do people really want Chris to have to treat communication and interaction with the PoE community as a job to the extent that if, in his own time, he happens to see something on reddit that he's able to usefully respond to, he should actively avoid doing so just because of where it was posted? I'd much rather Chris was able to treat communicating with fans as something he enjoys and does as much as possible.
I should have stipulated I meant the Poe subreddit!
Also, as I recall it, Chris was involved in the PoE subreddit from pretty much the start. He was a moderator before PoE got 'big', I believe. Before a conflict of interests, or somesuch.
At any rate, I used to feel reddit-envy, but so what if they get a few nibbles early? The community is still *here*.

I love that wand. No damage at all? Yeah, rock on. More uniques like this, please. Stuff people have to think about.
Account sharing/boosting is a bannable offence. No ifs, ands, or buts. No exceptions. Not even for billionaires.
Post this sentiment publicly and see how long it lasts here.
Overwhelming number of fishing references in one unique.
I'm about 200% over the fishing meme (and what's a meme but an injoke that outstayed its welcome and lost its worthy context?), but given this is from a user called Piscator123 and their avatar is indeed fish, I think it's more than okay. Just this once.
