Frozen orb gains extra ticks from + area radius, using a doc ock and a pps will bump your ticks per orb from 2-3 to almost always 4, with the occasional 5 ticks depending on mob positioning. It is one of the few situations where +radius is really worthwhile.

I do love that you can choose to beef up his constructs with pet damage, or just ignore pet damage and focus on your skills while having 3 bad as ice buddies chilling out with you.

so ball lightning for storm? count down until this skill is neutered begins now.

I don't think area radius affects it, I am using the Omega that reduces radius for Area powers and still getting 3-4 ticks on most orbs and I can still get 5.

I wonder if we could start "looking for" artifacts or other items that aren't that great but could likely elicit enough attention to trick pubbie traders.

Is that why you've been advocating spider serums this whole time?

It does, and it is pretty easy to test it out. Head into the training room and to the room with multiple dummies. Stand in one place without dock ock medallion on and pick a spot to fire an orb at, fire one orb without the medallion and one with and check which dummies get hit and which don't for each shot. Repeat a few times for different spots, and you will notice that the orbs radius has increased.

That doesn't mean the orb is hitting more ticks though, which is what I am looking at.

go to control panel, system settings - Advanced System Settings, click on Performance Settings, then Advanced and click on Change under Virtual Memory. Then set it to System Managed Size, if it's already at that, click on Custom size and set Initial as the amount of ram you have and Maximum at like 3 times the amount of ram you have.

This worked, thank you very much.

But it does, it is simple geometry, by increasing the radius of the pulse on a traveling object, the first pulse can hit the target sooner, because its radius is larger, and after the object has passed through the target, it can also hit from a further away distance again because of the larger radius. Obviously when dealing with two moving objects on different trajectories, the number of hits for each cast of the orb is going to vary, but increasing the radius does have a noticeable effect on the overall number of hits across many casts.

Frozen Orb doesn't pulse though. I will test more when I hit 60 of my current prestige but I am pretty certain radius will not make frozen orb hit a target more times on average.

I just tested it at 60 naked with no omegas and I am getting 3 or 4 hits per cast every time. With Power Prism Shard and Doc Ock Medal for 30% radius increase I am getting the exact same results.

Edit - testing from different distances away and the radius might be affecting it

Achievements are not going on TC weekend. We are pencils down on designing new ones, rewards are hooked up, but we're making it through a pile of defects. We are so close. It unfortunately doesn't make sense to put it on TC until we work through the bugs we already know about!

Knowing Gaz the bugs are stuff like "every time you log in with achievements unlocked it gets you omega orbs for every one" or that it's decrementing your omega tally instead of incrementing it.

It's probably an overly beneficial bug. Like being able to complete the cheevo multiple times for the reward. Or the omega chest it grants is infinitely clickable.

edit: Or if you use the omega chest while at max omegas, it flips you back around to zero.

It involves stacking as much summon health as possible on your minion , then blowing it up for INCREDIBLE DAMAGE. Like this!
