Should I use Vaal Orbs POE2?

In Path of Exile 2 (PoE 2), you should use Vaal Orbs on items you're willing to risk losing, especially replaceable rares or uniques, hoping for powerful upgrades like extra sockets, better stat rolls (divining uniques), or corrupted gem levels (like level 21), but avoid using them on irreplaceable gear or items needing further crafting (like quality/sockets) because corruption locks the item permanently. They're great for cheap 5-links, strongboxes, and high-tier maps, but remember they can also ruin items by rerolling stats negatively, so it's a high-risk, high-reward gamble.
