on the xbox one, I get so frustrated when the Ball of lightening doesn't ABSORB projectiles and spells. can anyone help me or tell me if i am doing something wrong??
You have to stand near the orb if it should absorb spell projectiles. And if you use ball of lightning multiple times in a row only one ball can actually absorb projectiles (I think it's the oldest one, but I'm not sure about this).
thats the thing, i try to use it as a defensive ability at times but it doesn't seem to work. call it lag, or a bug. i don't know. just doesn't seem to work from time to time. but if i need to attack someone who's using it it works every time lol
When I use it I have to stand in the glowing orb for all the spell projectiles aimed at me to be absorbed. If I step out, the projectile will not go through the glowing orb and will not get absorbed.
And it only absorbs SPELL projectiles, not so useful against archers.
