Herald of Ash

Resistance Penetration is an on-Hit effect. Damage over Time does not Hit. Herald of Ash deals only Damage over Time.

Herald of Ash should count as a Cast instead of a Spell, I guess? Damage over Time cannot also be Spell Damage after all, and the Cast tag exists to mark Spells that do not deal Spell Damage.
An annoying interplay of effects are Dominating Blow + Melee Splash being supported by Herald of Ash. The HoA burn can kill minions, even if the minion was killed/revived while HoA goes off. For instance, I kill EVERYTHING in a group in one hit with Dominating Blow, the main target is not burning, but any in the group that was in the AoE of the burn nova are killed shortly after turning. Seeing as they're my minions, they should be immune to my damage... or so I'd argue.

This is with Facebreaker gloves.
So basically, Herald of Ash is so overpowered it kills your entire build. That is hilarious.
For those still not sure about whether conc effect increases damage of HOA burn

I punched 10 mobs with and without conc effect in normal mudflat

I get about 50% increase burn speed on minion on mobs on average of the 10 hits.

Think this is a good evidence that conc effect does work.

Yeah, it works, but it isnt as useful as you can think. Due to reduced AoE, burn will occur less frequently, and proliferation will have reduced AoE too.

There is no knowledge
That is not power
If you have +AoE on the Skilltree, however, it might end up being worth it.

I run inc AOE myself for 1-3 players and only use conc in a 4-6 multi player party since you dont get to burn that much anyway and mob will die because the people tend to dps down the mobs

However, if you have 2 6L and want to utilize or just bored, linking hoa to reduced mana, inc burn, inc aoe, conc, ele prolif...

For some reason, HoA no longer shows fire hand animation and no longer displays buff at top left of the screen. Any ideas as to why? Could it be my particular set up?

How much of that damage is coming from prolif and how much from simply having a lot of damage?

That video would look nearly identical if he removed HoA. HoA is best used with a high damage single target overkill, he's just spamming leap slam like any other leap slam build would and might have become slightly more efficient with HoA, but very marginal.
my evasion is so high i only insta rip sometimes

Bug Fixes:
People were using cyclone for actual melee builds, so we nerfed it and made blade vortex. Also, we went ahead and made cyclone great for CoC casters while we were at it.
