Herald of Ash

I'm still a touch confused about an interaction with cull. To set it in a simplified game context:

Mob's max life = 1000 = Lt

Mob's current life = 199 = L

We know that if L > D > L - (Lt * 0.1) there is a culling kill (where D = damage dealt)

Is HoA proc:

D - L
or
D - (L - (Lt * 0.1)
or
D - (Lt * 0.1)

If I hit it with Power Siphon for 100 damage, will Herald of Ash proc for -99 (null), 1, 101? Or none of the above? If culling is L set to 0, does that mean HoA procs for D - L = 100?

doesn't culling happen after hit? although it might check before and after *lost touch*

overkill dmg = 140? or 990?

990. It's all overkill damage.

Thats great to know :) another way to turn a single target dps into AOE mass killing effect :o

The skill gem has an AoE component, so I assume it is affected by AoE support gems?
My question really is, would concentrated effect increase the burning damage if the skill gem is linked to it?

Would it work linking Herald of Ash with increased burning/increased area of effect? Or would I have to link those support gems to the attack skill?

Has anyone tested this with Explosive Arrow? Seems like a bunch of fuses would create a heck of a lot of overkill damage.

I would vager that the EA explosion is not considered an attack, and would not proc the overkill damage and thereby not ignite anything.

Please, do correct me if this is not true. I would be so happy if it wasnt :D

Feedback: Too much fire (likewise ice), makes other looks obsolete.

There are situations I would be okay in using this, but the noise associated with makes it impossible for me to do so. It could do a million dps, but the distraction it does to my brain is too much - my guy is always on fire. I need to use a potion. Because I'm on fire.

One of those "Look footprints!" type things.
