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?

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.

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.

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

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!
