Frustrating Heralds

Why do Herald of Blood and Herald of Plague require physical weapons?
What is the reasoning behind this nonsensical decision?

I leveled my entire build and then did a complete passive tree respec, only to find out that it doesn’t work with wands or staves.

The damage isn’t even based on the weapon in the first place.

It's your fault. Heralds exist for attacks only, not for spells.

The heralds are a way for attack builds to get more clear. Spell builds already get clear from chaining and AoE-based spells.

The Tooltip says unscalable Phys damage.
The Damage comes from the Blood Loss, not directly from the Weapon.

When the Blood Loss is the same, you would have the same damage ob it even with a starter weapon.

But Anyways, yes its my fault, but i like that blood explosion style and just for that i would like to have it.

I Like to see the actual Blood Loss i inflict even with spells.
