Evil
Contents
Mechanics
The orb gives you an ability to cast Hurl Damnation. However, it comes at a cost to HP and MP:
Spell Power: Evocations×8
Damage: 3d(8+Spell Power/5)
Cost: 10% HP, 4 MP
Restrictions: You cannot use this ability if you are under the effects of Death's Door.
Desirability
The orb of Dispater[1] is a special orb that can only be obtained by defeating Dispater, lord of the Iron City of Dis.
Very few things can resist damnation damage (it's mainly just the demons that use damnation themselves), making this Orb a useful weapon against all manner of end-game monsters. Damnation ignores AC, EV, and all other resistances, making it useful against tough monsters.
Of course, by the time you've defeated Dispater, you'll have likely found a shield, orb, or two-handed weapon. Thus, this orb faces heavy competition for the off-hand slot.
History
- In 0.30, this item will replace the staff of Dispater. Compared to the staff, it gains the *Corrode property and +5 AC.
