Solar Orb
Create a fiery Orb that periodically releases fiery pulses. Enemies that are very close to the Orb are Ignited. Flameblast can target a Solar Orb to be centred on the Orb instead of your location.
Good option that performs well in the right setup or as a levelling skill.

How to Use Solar Orb Effectively
Practical tips you won't find on the tooltip
AoE Clearing
Invest in Area of Effect to cover more ground. Excellent for map clearing and handling packs efficiently.
Ignite Potential
Fire skills can inflict Ignite for sustained DoT. Invest in Ignite Duration and Fire DoT multiplier for maximum burn damage.
Crit Viable
Base 7% crit — strong crit scaling potential. Invest in crit chance + multiplier from gear and passive tree.
Duration Matters
Duration scaling extends effect uptime. Less recasting = more time dealing damage. Invest in skill duration passives.
