Winter Orb is probably one of the dumbest skills in PoE history
|
It's no worse than any other instant, autotargeting, projectile, AOE.

....lol..

" It's sometimes impossible to tell if you're being sarcastic... anyway, there's pretty much nothing else that fits that bill. Even volatile dead requires targeting valid corpses. Triggered spells can autotarget, but aside from poet's pen, wormblaster, and bizarre cwdt combos, the action doing the triggering has to target and hit a valid monster in the first place. With the poet's pen nerf, none of these strategies is nearly as effortless as winter orb, which literally just takes the one skill gem. |

to be fair, RF (and, to a lesser degree, death's oath) builds are even more braindead to play than worb, and they have been around forever. solar guard spectres, too.
right now the big problem with worb is that its damage can be scaled to insane levels due to how it interacts with additional projectiles and increased area of effect. this allows it to have good boss killing power while simultaneously still being one of the best clearing skills in the game. i don't know why GGG thought that worb being able to shotgun was a good idea. it's broken as hell. |

" Yes it's the most cheesy yet. I have to say I'm not huge fan of any "fire and forget" type things. Mines, Totems, brands, or anything else that does your work after "launch" while you run around. But at least they wernt also clear speed demons too like Worb. I think you should have to channel, tank or aim directed damages if that makes sense? Well whatever I just play skills that make me happy and dont worry about what others are playing. It's a solo game and I play SSF. Git R Dun! Last edited by Aim_Deep#3474 on Apr 23, 2019, 10:51:57 PM

" They nerf and buff things to change up meta and make you get back on that horse and try different things. Little to do with balance. They nerf on popular usually. Like GC mines been raping bosses forever with like 2ex. Never nerfed AFAIK. No one likes mines. Arc got a little popular and was wrecked. Not to mention things like CoC back in the day. If Worb is really getting popular I expect nerf. Git R Dun! Last edited by Aim_Deep#3474 on Apr 23, 2019, 11:06:30 PM

+ Ranged
+ Spell + Auto-target + Projectiles + Has AOE, projectiles duration and channeling tags (many powerful support gems work on it and chest double corrupt) + Has best helm enchant + Damage can overlap good for solid single target/ or paired with ice spear with CwC for great single target + Work amazingly with phase run for clear speed + Super easy to start (just need 4 link) for good clear, cheap to go zoom zoom with Elementalist and has insane damage scaling potential with Trickster Winter Orb is completely busted. Even after Synthesis nerf, it is still by far the single strongest active skill in the game. It needs a 40% less damage nerf going into next league. A skill so mechanically powerful and so many things going for it needs to do lousy damage to balance it out. |

Worb is basically Bladevortex - just better, much better... And Bladevortex isn't bad itself ;).

I really don't give a shit of what people play but apparently some of you do and I find that funny because no matter what that person is still going to be better than you and you're still going to whine.
