Green orbs

Every once in a while I see some green orbs circling a monster I am trying to kill, what do these mean?
.....And that's all I have to say about that.
Charges, frenzy i think.
Certain magic and rare mobs can have 1 of three frenzy mods. There's also a fourth way from the apes.

1. Chance to gain a charge on hit(when they hit you)
2. Gain a charge for every 1/4 life lost
3. Grant charges to allies on death

4. Large apes have the unique ability to give all allies within range frenzy charges

If the green orbs aren't frenzy charges that means you're using Viper Strike and each orb is a Viper DoT counter.
In case you're wondering what they do, they grant the enemy they're on increased attack speed and damage.
Yup.

They also make a funny sound if you kill a monster that has a green orb floating around them, i always wondered what that sound was..

No, frenzy charges grant 5% attack and cast speed per charge, they do not increase damage.

Not on players, anyway...
The devs have hinted that charges may be more powerful on monsters than the baseline for players.
I have wandered through insanity;
I have walked the spiral out.
Heard its twisted dreamed inanity
In a whisper, in a shout.
In the babbling cacophony
The refrains are all the same:

I noticed my health lowering faster - if it's because of attack speed or increased damage, I'm not sure.

I swear they hit harder, though.
Yup.
Monsters get significant attack and cast speed bonuses from frenzy charges, and also a small bonus to movement speed.
