I <3 Orb of Destruction!

[mrbobbyg]

Never got it castable before. This time I have it with a DgEE with a Staff of Energy.

WOW.

So much splodey goodness.

Just had to gush.

Thank you devs for making this amazing game!

I'm with you. I love my OoD.

The Orb of Destruction is my favorite single target spell. I find that the chunks that spew out of whatever it kills more than makes up for the spell hunger.

OoD...

Orb of Destrcution...
Out of Depth...

EDIT: Also, it is versatile in that it can be used as a digging spell.

Or as an (expensive) butchering tool

I've picked up OoD for the first time in my current game, exploding Rupert with it was most satisfying.

When I first read about OoD, I passed due to its weird rules on doing damage. However, Boris was kind enough to show me how the spell was supposed to work. Fortunately, I got away with 2 hp. Now I think I've gotta try it next time I have a conjurer. I also learned that Blink + cTele towards it is the best way of dodging it.

Having finally just learned Shatter, I now have a new, new love. First level 9 spell ever, and wow, what a beast!

Aaaaannd then I died.

Teleportitis + ctele is awesome, except for on Elf 5.

Surprisingly, orb of destruction can be fun on the receiving end as well.

I just had a run in with an ancient lich who fired off a salvo of 'em, which lead to some frantic blink-dodging, ducking behind walls, and slaming of doors. Much scenery destroyed. Crazy fun.

Personally I'm just waiting for the chance to pull off the old homing attack reversal- when you trick homing ordinance into returning to sender (aka, blowing up Mycon Podships 101). I wanna blast an ancient lich with his own orb of destruction!

Did you guys know that Shield of Reflection reflects OoD?

[joellercoaster]

Yes. But there is a good and a bad way to find this out

That sounds like a setup for a Sprint map. Re-create the lobby shootout from The Matrix! (Recommended build: Spriggan anything, preferably a stabby one.)
