I have two Vaal Orbs in my stash. Juuuuust when I was about to use it on my best weapon (a unique dagger), people on the global chat talked about how you should be extra careful in using it because it won't always turn your stuff to a better version. Then I immediately put it back deep in my stash lol.

I think I want a Guardian now. It sounds awesome, but it also sounds like an escort mission where you have to keep your Guardian who supposedly guard you, from dying...
This post is great, gave me more things to look forward to in the game!
