its not about fc, you could have a perfect orb and still fail at duels simply because viper + string of ears will almost neglect 100% of dmg orb
it is how it is :(

Orb vs someone with enough cold res and mdr does almost no damage, might even heal a paladin with 2 spirits. 5 orb alone is ok but 5 orb 5 cmastery would be ideal

But early on when gear/inventories are weak and people have no cold res it will expose people. After they throw a shield on with cold res you'll stop doing damage and want to be a blizzard sorc.


magic sorb doesnt affect elemental hits, just magic, like hammer/bone nec. but mdr does however

Haha I got into it with a guy once because he was swearing that orb was healing him due to spirits. Of course he was just negating orb dmg with MDR and then rep life was healing him lol… but he wouldn’t accept it. Long story short I added him to the nk list

Makes sense, only noticed the interaction with palas and as bela said, it was prob the rep life after damage being negated

In my defense, it was the only level 30 orb duel ive seen and they restatted directly after the interaction

Firewall is the only thing I can think of that an orb is better for.

i dueled quite a bit on a private server that spawned perfect "possible items". stuff with 60 life, 90 mana, 15, res, stuff like that.
and let me tell you, when a fire ball of 3998 dmg punches you, the duel is over very, very quickly.

Yes, I’ve dueled on that too and that’s the thing. Near perfect is what it takes. Now think of SvS and getting fhr locked by someone. Spirit is better in that situation too. All in all, unless it’s a damn near perfect orb. Spirit is usually better imo.
