HoA works with:

Increased burning damage
AOE

in that order. AoE gem makes sense only when build uses AoE as the base is very small.



Add IIQ and IIR to that. And Empower, of course...

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



Secondary effect doesn't occur with Trap + Bow skills.

So a Bow Skill + Trap isn't an attack?
The Trap does not have the Herald Buff -> it cannot trigger Herald's effect. Working as intended.

Herald of Thunder works with traps tho'.
the passive part of herald skills work for totems/mines/traps. the active part (explosions, burning, lightning bolts) do not.

I actually know what's going on now...

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

Yeah, bad mechanic.
25% are WAY too much, small effect from level and from Quality... sad to see it still not got buffed.

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?
