Chromatic orb isnt OP at all at 3D8 if you compare the average damages of all other offensive spells.
(Inflict wound is 3D10, guiding bolt is 4D6, burning hand is 3d6 on an aoe, arms of hadar is 2d6 on an aoe...)

It's just a very good spell against vulnerable or resistant creatures but not especially a must have against common creatures.

2d8 + eventually surface damage is weak imo. Especially if the AI wasnt so stupid to avoid surface damage.
