ofc iir/iiq/empower/enchance/enlighen work. im sure that there even more gems out there that can be linked and 'work' but if anyone wants to do anything sensible with HoA these 3 are THE gems to think about. and one has to be picky due to mana reserved% increases caused by additional gems	Posted by sidtherat on Oct 22, 2014, 12:52:44 PM Quote this Post
Secondary effect doesn't occur with Trap + Bow skills. So a Bow Skill + Trap isn't an attack?	Posted by YellowMage on Oct 25, 2014, 10:55:27 PM Quote this Post
The Trap does not have the Herald Buff -> it cannot trigger Herald's effect. Working as intended. Last edited by Vipermagi on Oct 26, 2014, 10:14:59 AM	Posted by Vipermagi on Oct 26, 2014, 10:14:47 AM Valued Poster Quote this Post

the passive part of herald skills work for totems/mines/traps. the active part (explosions, burning, lightning bolts) do not.	Posted by soul4hdwn on Oct 26, 2014, 10:32:26 PM Quote this Post

The secondary effect of Herald of Thunder works on trap kills if you use Elemental Proliferation. It wouldn't give it normally otherwise. Well, I'm going to cry into a cup if this disappears...

Ah, same bug as Fire Trap's Burning Ground. The entity that caused the Damage over Time no longer exists, so kills cannot be credited to it. Old-ass bug. Odds are you can sploit it for a good while still. :P	Posted by Vipermagi on Oct 27, 2014, 12:55:29 AM Valued Poster Quote this Post

Need to make HIGHER much better AoE! Make HoA AURA! Less Mana Reserved: 10-12% Better Gain of Physical Damage as Extra Fire Damage: 30% Make HoA AURA! AURA!

Currently having some issues with HoA not matching up with my fire penetration gem. I have a similar set up with Herald of Ice and the tooltip correctly displays that it penetrates frost resistance, though the tip on HoA doesn't display any penetration. Additionally, when I read through the wiki to get to the bottom of this I noticed that its explicitly stated "Herald of Ash is a cast and Not a Spell..." yet the tip in game denotes that it its a spell. Is this intended? And how does fire penetration interact with HoA?	Posted by xJaykaydee on Nov 24, 2014, 7:24:11 AM Quote this Post
