Orb of Nefarious Death

So I've been looking into trying to receive the orb of nefarious death for my pirate, so I went on the wiki to look at its stats and it said it boosted off of Agility.

I had a gut feeling that couldn't be right but I left it at that and later on I talked to a friend about it and he said that it does actually boost off of will. Now my friend isn't the sharpest tool in the shed and I really don't have a clue what stat it uses to boost so can anyone tell me?

Don't dismiss your friend's intelligence, he got this one right. The Orb does boost off of Will. ( Which makes it viable for Privateers as well. )

It actually boosts off of both technically. For musketeers, swashbucklers, and buccaneers, it will boost off of agility. For privateers and witches it will boost off of will.

Shooty weapons are based off of agility, and staffy off of will. Thus, a shooty/staffy will boost off of the highest of your pirate's agility and will. I'm assuming the same is true for a staffy/stabby weapon like Cossack's Blades

Alright thanks for confirming that for me.

Maybe it's time to admit defeat to my own smarts.

The card says specifically "bonus from Will".

Ok, that makes a lot more sense.

But if you go to the level 70 page for it, the gun supposedly boosts off of agility which is mis-leading.

Look at in on a musketeer or a swashbuckler. It gets a bonus from agility on those classes. The same is true with other hybrids like Cossack's Blades. I have checked it myself and I am certain I am completely accurate

For certain classes it boosts off agility (at all levels). For others it boosts off will (at all levels). The wiki can't note that it can boost off both agility and will, so the first person to edit the page put what it boosted off of for their vlass

Thanks for the heads up - I will take this opportunity to update the relevant wiki pages.

You are spot on. It boosts from Agility and Will. Below is confirmation from Ratbeard:
