Pass the orb

Do ppl not know that if you pass the orb in the blind well or corrupted strike it does way more damage when the last person throws it.

  • Like many things in the game, there's no indicator or anything so much as hinting you should. Like making public events heroic, it's not the least bit intuitive(I didn't know how to make taken blights heroic until a few weeks ago.) You just hold a button, pick up the orb, and suddenly have to figure out what to do with it. First reaction is to try and hit something with it, obviously, not throw it at allies. I didn't figure it out until I saw someone else do it. Each time an orb was thrown to me I had no idea what was going on. I just figured it was some random trigger/event and went with it.

      • Just, before you throw it, make sure I'm at least turned towards you. Also, no need to throw it for a charge in order to take down Sedia's shield. Just throw it at the witch please.

        • I am mind blown how players still do not know this. I did heroic blind well over the weekend and i grabbed the ball, passed it to a blueberry who threw it at a group of ads. Then continued to shoot at an immune boss. Yea what could go wrong with raid matchmaking, when people can not be bothered to learn blind well or strike mechanics lol.

          • It's the new taken public event. Even doing something like putting a phrase like, "jbo911 energizes the relic" in the kill feed might help people learn what to do. Or have ghost say something. These are the type of in game changes I want.

            • Shit.... if I had a dime for every time I've shouted to pass the f*ing orb! I'd equip <I'm open> if I thought it'd make a difference.

              • People still destroy the blights on the taken public events, so not surprised 🤷‍♂️

              • Yeah a lot of noobs don’t know. The game actually tells you about it the first time each character plays the corrupted strike.

              • Standing there punching them in the face doesn’t help. Throw the orb to them doesn’t help, they throw it at a thrall. Oh the joy when you’re in the well or corrupted strike and someone throws the orb to you... such bliss. And people want matchmade 6 person activities with puzzles 😂

                        Ikr, I tell them to pass and they just grab and throw. Many of them don’t know you can stockpile before the encounter starts
