Chromatic Orbs

While it is true that you need awful lots of chromatic orbs to get a rare colour combination (like two red two blue and two green), there isn't much else you need them for and you get a lot more of them than you need. It is possible to trade them with other players, but nothing else especially because they are a dead end in the currency progression. What do you think about them?
there are never enough chromes ... try RGGB on 4 socket armour boots or GGGGRR on 6 socket :D
I can never have enough chromatics. Wait until you need to get a lot of off color sockets on an item and tell me you have no use for them. Also, there will always be players willing to buy your chromatics if you don't want them.

When you have been in trade chat and how much time do you spend in it? Just login and wait. (I'm talking about Standard) After short while you'll see that some guy wants to buy 13 chromes for chaos. Or 16. Or 15... And so on. If you're lazy sell to them. Of course dont do that, because you can sell them for exalted orbs. You can get Exalted for 200-250 Chromes.

I meant that you get more than you need unless you want a rare colour combination ( in this case you probably need hundreds of them) and that you can nothing else except sell them to other players, because they are a dead end in the currency progression path.
You also need huge amounts of jeweller's, fusing and scraps but they can be used for other thing than trade or crafting.
chromatics are fucking crazy

GGG must be laughing their asses off about THIS orb

people complain about fusings? holy shit

you can wipe out several stacks of chromes just going for 2 off colors on a pair of gloves

it's funny because most people don't even believe you when you try to explain just how fucking crazy the odds are stacked against you with these. people think you can get specific 4 off color combos on a chest on an average of like 500 chromes. YEA RIGHT.

when you're in 5-off land its like many thousands of chromes to even remotely have a shot at it

chromatics. satan orbs

So the idea behind them is:
"let there be plenty and don't let them have any other uses because when somebody really needs them everyone's and their dog's chromatic Orbs won't be enough."
This makes sense, in a really twisted way.
