I do believe you can only use abilities that target a single enemy unit, the one you are attacking, while using orb of lightning, so no, war stomp would not work.
the orb has a chance to happen and i am trying to make a spell that will garentee the effect..
so when the orb effect doesnt work and wont purge(using the basic orb spell)... i cast my spell and on the next hit I have a 100%chance to let him purge and get on cooldown(which is inportant so i wont exadenty have the orb purge him twice.. 1 time forced and 1 time with luck)..
hope that this clears my problem..(i know i can be confusing sometimes)
i am not sure about this but you can try to give the purge ability to the hero you want to use the orb's purge and force him to use it and after he did so remove the purge ability again. if it works as i think it might the purge of the orb will be on cooldown as well.
though i am not sure about this.
Just replace the orb ability with a dummy orb ability that has 100% chance for the duration...?
Alternatively, make a dummy hero ability with a starting hero level of 2 (to class it as an ult) based of what your orb is based off and dummy cast it - it will go through spell immunity (depending what it is based off).
tried to do that.. but I dint understand quiet what you mend...
@Accname
it does work. but it can give problems if the orb spell is the same as the spell you use to trigger and it can easily bug..

found out two things about orb effects when you use them as an ability.
1. they wont trigger on auto targets. it will only fire on units you selected to let your hero attack.
2. when using a hero ability witch is the same as a ability your hero has by basic.. you will level the orb spell instead of gaining it next to it..
example:
when i set the effect to let it cast Shadow strike and i learn my hero the orb effect as unit ability. in game it will first cast level 1 shadow strike. after i learn my hero shadows strike t wont appear but level the orb-effect to let it cast shadow strike level 2.
i will continue testing orb of lightning(new)...
annyone else having more ideas to force my orb effect to go on cooldown??
I am working on getting access to the old news portal under a different URL for those that would rather use that for news before we get a different news view.
It is OK though for the main page to open up on the forum in the view it was before. As long as the portal has its own URL so it can be viewed that way I do want to try it as a regular forum view for a while
I switched it to a "Standard" article forum. This will show the thread list like normal, but the threads themselves will have the first post set up above the rest of the "comments"
