vaal orb recipe

1. stays the same
2. becomes a 6affix rare 6link
3. becomes a 6affix random socket number rare
4. gets a new implicit mod (check wiki for those)

There are 4 possible outcomes on armor gear:

1) Nothing (aside from becoming corrupt).
2) Rolls a random rare (6 affixes, randomly rolls sockets and links without weighting).
3) Gains white socket(s).
4) Rerolls (or adds if none exists) implicit mod.

A tabula rasa with defense?! madness!

Currently trying to get a +1 resist amulet then...then... my characters shall fear not dem elemenz

Nice. I was seriously considering ignoring corrupted zones altogether because they don't really serve much purpose for me (can't fight Atziri, don't trade). In Normal difficulty especially they had little purpose since they neither drop fragments nor the higher level Vaal skills. This should make them more worthwhile.

I can and will use the Vaal orbs to obtain good rares or corrupt spare uniques and certain strongboxes.

I had three Lazhwars so I used a vaal on 1.
I immediately had a +4% block on it, sold it for 20 ex, the most currency I made so far.
I will continue to use vaals on unique ammy's, rings and belts. On other uniques you first have to get the sockets and links, which is not worth it.

My premise here is that people will change how they use them... now that we can effectively farm for them on low level areas. You can run areas in normal difficulty to get vaal areas which will give them "useless" skill orbs.

Maps, maps, and more damn maps.

I've been using them on strongboxes
found 6 6-links and counting...

Curse on hit on unique gloves are beast

Vaal belts until you get that elusive 20% quality.
