Herald of thunder?

started using herald of thunder on my witch - and I was wondering if there was a way to buff this skill? maybe an add chaos, (or better yet) a faster cast rate? seems like when I try to link spells to it, the don't transfer over to enhance spells, but it does change the % mana withheld for the aura.. am I doing something wrong, or does this just not work for spells?

Only certain skills gems will work with herald of thunder because it's a CAST and not a SPELL.

See the wiki page http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Herald_of_Thunder for more information.

"The key to winning any fight is simply staying alive."
You can only boost the DPS via generic Damage or Lightning Damage modifiers, or by Added Damage. However, HoT can be a pretty good defense when linked to Life Leech, and with Curse on Hit it can be a cheaper alternative to Blasphemy.
I have it linked to increased duration right now and once it gets started it's essentially permanently on as long as I keep attacking. I like the Life gain on hit idea though. Have to try that out.

If you want to transform herald of thunder completely... but it's not usefull for a lightning build. However with vinktar flask or three dragon or similar shit, it's op.
I will never be good but always I try to improve.

I don't think there is LGoH available for non-Spell non-Attack damage. The gem only supports Attacks.

LGOH doesn't care about spell/attack, it just cares about you making a hit. Curse on hit works with heralds, no reason why LGOH wouldn't work either.

It specifically says Attacks, and it has the Attack tag. It won't work with spells or heralds.

Huh. So it does. That's a very misleading name. My bad.
when using HoT i like to link it with blind flee and mana leach as those gems have no mana multi and adds somewhat a layer of defence for casters
