[Bug] Herald of Ice + Curse on Hit

Big disappointment about HoI and CoH not working. CoH should work on hit not after explosion.
Blind is not working either...
Hopefully will see it work soon !!! :)

I would guess this is working as intended....

It's a completely new game mechanic, your guesses are, frankly, not worth anything. I don't necessarily want Dev input, but if Herald of Ice doesn't apply curses with Curse on Hit then it shouldn't be supported by the gem.

First of all - your attitude sucks. Second of all - my opinions are based on researching the issue with the resources I have available and presenting what I find. I did't develop the game, but if all you have to add is coming in here jumping on me for helping to find answers, then maybe you should do the research yourself.

I will stick with my original point - the explosion/chill effect is not a "hit", and therefore does not activate the "x" on hit skill. The initial attack is a hit, and should trigger the skill.

The damage from the explosion does hit and is from the Herald of Ice skill - just like Tempest Shield. It does not currently work with curse on hit due to technical limitations of how it was implemented. We hope to change this in the future, but cannot say at this stage how long that could take.

damn! I was trying to work aroun the HoI + CoH combo... I hope it will get fixed soon!

given that the new herald of thunder + CoH works, is Herald of Ice any different in that regard?
because after the patch it still doesnt work :-(

They need to rework the shatter effect, I think its the cause

I have noticed this so after a search i got here. After fail whit curse i give it a go whit Culling Strike. But now im not even sure i can test it properly, if it is a code limitation then its probably broken.

Culling Strike might work.

Curse on Hit was changed so it does no longer work with the AoE from Skills. This does not mean that AoE Skills in general don't work. Rain of Fire is very effective, as it seems every fire projectile from the sky counts as a hit, when it - well - hits. But with stuff like Cold Snap, the AoE-damage won't curse on hit. So if you consider this and look at Herald of Ice, then it will trigger its AoE, when an enemy shatters. Unfortunately the origin of the AoE is the shattered enemy, which can't be cursed anymore since it is dead and shattered. And the remaining monsters around won't be curse on hit, since they only receive areal damage.
So it makes quite sense, when CoH does not work with areal damage, it shows that it links with Herald of Ice, but there will never be a valid target.
