Feedback and Suggestions - Vaal Orbs aren't a gamble. They're pretty much pointless. I HATE that they mostly do nothing at all. - Forum

Wow wow wow wow... Wait guys... You guys were ACTUALLY expecting something from this bullshit expansion ? Seriously...? Vaal orbs isn't pointless. All this "expansion" thing is. You just have to look around. The game just got harder, and that's it =P Dream with me !

Yeaaah I hate that I have to agree. Simple decisions with clear 'best' answers have consistently been made wrong by design. I find it very strange. Like, nothing in the game - NOTHING - NO ORB - ever leaves the item the same as it was. They all explicitly do SOMETHING even if it's negative. But Vaal orbs? nope.

Every single use of an Orb, by anyone, is a mistake and a loss of value. The only proper move is to never craft, and to save those orbs for trading for what you want. This is true. Your best course of action if you don't like shitty RNG, is not to play PoE. There are so many layers of RNG in crafting and such that you are extremely unlikely to make any items worthwhile. "Rich" players simply have an abundance of currency and nothing better to do than use it up trying to make items. Crafting is overwhelmingly negative in expected value and return on investment. But when you have GG gear and 72 exalted, why not try to make an upgrade? What else are you going to do? Every rare that drops is like using a chaos orb. All we have to do is look at the massive number of junk rares to understand how risky using an exalt orb is. It's better to use all of the "free" chaos orbs by farming and IDing rares than to try crafting on our own. Same with trying to find a 5L or 6L	Posted by Mylon on Mar 30, 2014, 8:56:09 AM Quote this Post

Nice GGG double-speak. Completely contradicting yourself in only 5 lines. Nice! Based on what you quoted, I don't see how they "double-spoke". The first sentence leaves the subject on the object, where the second part specifies that the object is being used with an item. If I use Double Strike with a Wand, it will do nothing. That does not mean that Double Strike cannot do anything, it just can't with a wand.	Posted by Natharias on Mar 30, 2014, 6:27:15 PM Quote this Post
