Herald of Ice - spell damage?

hi

is there any information if Herald of Ice 'Deals xxx-yyy' damage (the 'pop' on shatter) is considered 'spell'? because it is for sure 'elemental' and 'cold' but is it 'spell'?

and can it crit?

Well it's tagged as spell so I guess you can boost it's damage else it can't even graze anything from Cruel onwards...
Unarmed for life! (although I do like maces too recently)
my guess is that the explosion is secondary Damage and is unable to crit...

I think you're right . I tested it with Pcoc and it didnt work ..
Guild chat says PCoC works with the shatter ... no experience myself
Forums are SOOO much fun on patch day!

Casuals play because it's fun, not to achieve any goal unreachable with their resources.
We are playing for the next difficulty, the next keystone, the next item upgrade.
Not to feel better than anyone else.

I also tested this, PCoC doesn't work. My guess is the secondary explosion cannot crit.
It's a secondary damage type I'm quite certain.

Well it's just like Incinerate if the spell doesn't list a crit-chance it can't crit. I think Herald of Ice, Freeze Mine and Incinerate are the only spells unable of scoring critical hits (unless cursing the enemy with Assasins Mark), not sure what secondary means though if secondary like the explosion of Infernal Blow... nope that one can crit.
