Exort – 3 damage per level per instance
Wex – 2% AS and 1% MS per level per instance

Orb Combinations:
============
There are 10 combinations total. Order is not a consideration. So if you have 2 exort and 1 quas, thats all that matters, not which came first. It is more intuitive and usable than before. The abilities are based on which properties form them.
