I've been playing as a wizard lately without much problems, but one thing has always nagged me: Orb Field. Overall I love the skill, and its handiness has saved me multiple times in the past, yet it could be so much better if it was tweaked just a bit. It's elliptical orbit around the player can become a nuisance as it can only be used South West and North East of the player, which will take positioning to be of any use. I hope Robby changes the orbs to rotate around the player like a geostationary orbit, surrounding all sides of the players, maybe even both ways to look more awesome.

You mean the current orbit is not allowing them to hit enemies on all sides of you, only on certain sides?

Its fairly difficult to get the orbs to hit enemies, especially after you have used some of them already. It would probably be more beneficial to have them just circle around the player on the same vertical axis (likely around the middle of the player), or have them remain still, but placed surrounding the player, and make the player move accordingly to have them hit an enemy. Also with the current forcefield being incredible difficult to see though, it makes seeing the orbs somewhat difficult (though Ik you already said you would look into this at some point).

this is why i haven't upgraded orb field

Exactly.

I was thinking of a new orbit like how earth orbits the sun ( the sun being the player and orbs being small earths)

Ok sounds good! Thanks for the example pic. I went ahead and did two things:

1. I look into it and realized there is a small bug causing the orbs to sometimes not hit enemies like it should, this will be fixed.
2. I changed the orbit field similar to how you described. With this and the above fix, they should hit enemies alot easier now.

These changes will be out when the next update is released.
