Solar Orb is a Tier 5 sustained Fire spell in Path of Exile 2 that creates a stationary orb which periodically emits fiery pulses. Enemies close to the orb are Ignited, making it ideal for area denial and sustained elemental damage setups. The orb persists for 10 seconds and pulses every 1.4 seconds, dealing Fire damage in a wide radius.

Path of Exile 2 Solar Orb Mechanics FAQs
Does Solar Orb scale with Ignite modifiers?
Yes. The Ignite effect is treated as a separate Fire hit and benefits from Ignite chance, duration, and damage scaling.
Can Solar Orb pulses overlap or double-hit enemies?
No. Each pulse is discrete and cannot stack or overlap. However, enemies can be hit by multiple pulses over time.
Is Solar Orb compatible with Barrage setups?
No. Solar Orb is a sustained spell and does not interact with Barrage, which modifies repeat behavior of projectile attacks.
Can Solar Orb be supported by Totem or Trap mechanics?
Yes. Solar Orb can be cast via Totem, Trap, or Mine setups, allowing remote deployment and zoning control.
Does Solar Orb snapshot stats or update dynamically?
It snapshots at cast time. Buffs or gear changes after casting do not affect the active orb.
