Herald of Ash
Way overpowered skill. You can stack damage supports on your attack, and then have a separate 4 link for conc effect, iaoe and whatever else on the herald. Two four links essentially giving you something close to a 6+ link.

HoA gives to all my attacks 15% fire dmg based on my phys dmg.....and overkill dmg based on gem level
since i use lightning strike as my main attack i look for a very high amount of phys dmg on my gear anyway now my question: can i increase these 15% from HoA in anyway by linking any supportgems to HoA? since it has spell dmg as keyword iron will comes to mind or since i deal lightning dmg(with LS) anyway maybe added lightning? if none of the above applies, can i at least link inc burning dmg and ele prolif to it so i can inflict more mobs with more dmg through overkill? |

Any Physical, Elemental or Fire Damage modifier on Lightning Strike will improve the 15% Physical Added as Fire damage from Herald of Fire. Melee-specific modifiers will improve it for the Melee strike, Projectile modifiers for the Projectiles.
Modifiers on Herald of Ash do nothing to modify the extra Fire Damage - they only apply to the Ignite. You can link EP/Burn Damage to Herald to improve the Overkill effect, yes. Last edited by Vipermagi#0984 on Aug 29, 2014, 10:33:03 PM

How would it interact with The Goddess Scorned?
After all, it is an ignite that doesn't require any prior damage to occur, so it should work. Zaanus:

I'm gonna try tomorrow somewhere. Actually found a Goddess Bound in Rampage today, totes ecstatic. Should work though - Herald of Ash is described as Ignite, and Scorned kills everything except her own Damage and Ignite.
If nobody else chimes in, I'll get back to you soonish with confirmation. |

" mehhhh, you only confirmed what i already thought.....but i hoped for a different answer....one with more dmg potential :P ....thanks for the quick response though |

" Shit burns quick. Holy crap. |

Damn it, now I need to save up to buy that blade.

i think Herald of Ash is somehow bugged, i use powersiphon single target and sometimes (sometimes even a few times in a row) the Herald of Ash doesnt appear, only the powersiphon effect occurs. maybe you could look into that at some time.
otherwise a lovely new skill! |

That would be due to Culling.
Culling instantly slays the target if a Hit leaves the monster below 10% Max Life. You didn't deal enough Damage to kill it in the first place, so you deal zero Overkill Damage. No Overkill, no Ignite. Not a bug. :) |
