WORLD FIRST USE of Vaal orb

People want something better, then add 2-5 chaos damage, when risking on great items... Usefull mods not much.

You can use them on strongboxes, leading to a multitude of corrupted items...W.O.R.T.H!

14:00 of the interview

But really??? Completely unsocketting and unlinking.


Kinda weird how he put it though.. The first stage is that it ONLY corrupts the item, ''that's definitely considered a absolute failure''

I don't know about you but downgrading a unique, unlinking 6L, removes the 6S and rerolls the stats seems, just a tad bit more off a ''Absolute Failure'' than JUST corrupting it.

It clearly states in the patch notes to take caution.

Added a new currency item: Vaal Orb. It corrupts a target item, modifying it unpredictably. Once an item is corrupted, further currency cannot be applied to it. This includes restoring imprints. There are many possible outcomes of corruption, some of which may be undesirable. Consider its use carefully!

What I do not understand is why not use it on a crappy unique before using it on a unique worth 50+ exalts? Just saying, thats what I would do.....

If you take a risk.... IMO you shouldn't really complain about not getting a reward..... the whole idea of a risk is that in the end you might be worse off than when you started... just like gambling.

I do feel for the people that lost precious items though... so I apologize for offending you with my post if I did, it was not my intention. i just wanted to explain my reasoning.



I think the vaal orbs are an amazing addition.. I just don't think people have fully come to an understanding of exactly how to use them.... or rather the proper time to use them with the least risk versus reward.


Let's say the person strikes it lucky. 3 orbs, 3 improvements. Wow he says. Let's use it on my blabla. No one could forsee that the vaal orbs could make a unique to a rare, delete all links and all sockets And re roll the stats. AT THE SAME TIME. That's just INSANE.
