How does chromatic orb works?
I used now 10 chromatic orbs on my 4 slotted gauntlet and every time I got 1 blue and 3 red slots (just die position changed). How is it supposed to work? I thought this orb does chnge the colors absolute random, so why the hell I always get 3 reds and 1 blue? I once had 4 red... wtf? Is there a special rule that says "Oh a witch is trying to get blue and green slots - lets joke around and just give her red slots"...?

It is biased towards the item type. Items with armor are more likely to roll red, while items with energy shield are more likely to roll blue. Hybrids are more likely to roll whatever their type is.

They should add this in the descripten of the orb. Wouldnt have wasted my orbs into it if I had known :X

" It's not a feature of the orb.. all drops are biased like that as well... the orb just rerolls the socket colors using the same routine. Orbs shouldn't display all game features which might affect your decision to use them... that would make them way too wordy. Can't imagine with the divine orb would have to say lmao.

" That's the stupidest thing I ever heard. That definitely needs to be changed. My Ranger can't use energy shield armor because the game is biased and I've also totally wasted a couple dozen jeweler's orbs and several chromatic orbs as well because this bias isn't written down anywhere. MODS PLEASE PASS THIS ALONG TO THE DEVS. THIS IS DEFINITELY NOT RIGHT. "Cry HAVOC!!! And let slip the Dogs of War!!"

" Why should it be changed.. if you want a blue socket on ur ranger you should use evasion/energy shield gear. and just because it is biased toward using that color socket doesnt mean its impossible. I have a Armor/Es chest with 5l 2g,2r,1b which is def not par for the course in terms of biased socket colors |
