AnonymousPretty much no reason to ever choose this unless you get it for free. Chromatic Orb does everything Ray of Sickness can but better (2d8 poison damage, AoE poison surface), and comes with additional options for damage type on top of that.

The actual difference between chromatic orb and ray of sickness is that chromatic orb uses an attack roll whereas ray of sickness uses a constitution saving throw.
So even though chromatic orb has more uses with the AoE effect being able to influence nearby targets.
Ray of sickness is more likely to hit targets when you have high spell save DC's, when the target has low constitution, or if the target is cursed with bestow curse: constitution disadvantadge.
Though by the time you can bestow curses you most likely have better spells for damage.
