Arcane Orbit

Arcane Orbs orbit.

Arcane Orbit is a rune effect in Arcane Orb, a high cost, high damage Offensive Wizard skill.

This rune effect changes the spell greatly, creating four orbiting orbs. These circle protectively around the Wizard, each of them capable of bursting for the full attack spell damage when a monster comes into contact with them.

This is actually the highest damage form of the skill, with 4 orbs for the resource cost of one. The danger, of course, is that a monster must be at point blank range to be hit by them. The splash is much reduced as well, but a bold Wizard could stand just out of reach, landing all four in succession on a melee range enemy.
