Orbs

{{File:Orb-wiz1.jpg|left|frame|Orb in off hand.]]
Orbs are [[Wizard]]-specific items found in Diablo III. Orbs are equipped in the [[off hand]], like [[shield]]s, but they do not have defensive bonuses and can not be used to block with. They look like crystal balls, and function as items with bonus stats to offense and spell-casting abilities. Using an orb is essentially a way for a Wizard to dual-wield [[caster weapons]], at the cost of whatever defensive bonuses she might have obtained from using a shield.
==Orb Visuals==
The Wizard is seen holding an orb in [[Cinematic: Wizard|her cinematic introduction movie]] and orbs can also be discerned in several in-game screenshots. A few sample images are below.
