Honestly? That looks seriously freaking busted for any physical spell. EK Chieftain meta?

You just beat me to it mate - this is the new goto herald for my inquisitor EK Nova .. Though i might try and build it around the scion one i get a chance to look at the new ascendancy.

Cheers,

The changes are already out there. Looks pretty good imo.

This is literally a buff.

This gem needs some serious local/global clarification on the text now. TBH the quality buffs already should have said global (assuming they still are). Cuz yeah, at a glance it's hard to tell what's actually limited to the skill itself and what applies globally. Like, supposedly the inc fire damage is global, but the similarly-wording burning damage mod (I'm assuming) is local. And now there's this spell fire damage, which is obviously global but again, without any clarification in the text...

Elementalist fixed. Thank you, GGG!

If this worked with RF it would be insane.

Not to nitpick, but Herald of Ash already worked on spells, physical ones.

So the overkill burning effect will be triggered by Bear Trap now ?

Well, Elementalist just got better, too bad timed buffs are still bad, and so is ignite :D. Then again, the night's still young.

But for RF this new HoA looks completely busted, to be honest.

This is not fair you know GGG? Why Herald of Fire is the only Herald buff for MORE elemental damage ? Cut it out please, you will break the game with that mod
