Herald of Thunder + Hextouch + Hexes

So, back in the days, before curses were split into hexes and marks, I used to run Herald of Thunder + Curse on Hit + Assassin's Mark. That is no longer possible, as Assassin's Mark is a Mark and is not supported by Hextouch. Now, I thought I'd run a hex curse instead, adding Elemental Weakness to the mix.

The thing is, Herald of Thunder is NOT applying Elemental Weakness to enemies (at least not visually). Is there some kind of limitation here that's been added the last year or so, or am I missing something?

do you have enough mana to proc it? triggered skills now cost mana

First of all, yes I do. Second, Hextouch uses the word "apply". Are you sure it counts as triggered?

hextouch curses shouldnt cost mana, because it isnt casting the curse.

unlike cast on crit/cast while channeling.

Hextouch is still a trigger. When it triggers, it applies the curse. It also costs mana every time it applies a curse. So with something like Herald of Thunder that zaps mobs repeatedly after it procs, the mana cost can get really steep.

My bad. I just re-checked an occultist I was having a variety of troubles with day 1 and hadn't revisted yet. She still wearing a trigger ring in addition to HoT curses, with the ring being one of the problems it was having. Hextouch doesn't appear to cost mana, and I just assumed it did.

OP, could it be that it is applying the curse but you don't really notice it? Hextouch curses only get applied to mobs that are hit by the triggering skill, rather than being applied in an area. If you're nuking most stuff pretty quickly, it can be easy to miss.

It could be, but I have tried running around packs, letting HoA rain upon them for several seconds without seeing the curse symbol above their heads. It's weird.

I'm also experiencing this problem. I've run around a group of rares with minion and normal and magic mobs and it never procs.

nvm

If you turn off the herald and then turn it back on, it works. You have to do this with every new area you join though. Needs to be fixed.
