[Bug] Herald of Ice + Curse on Hit

That is not the case. There has been no change to prevent Curse on Hit from working with AoE. It does work with Cold Snap.

The current state of this issue is still as explained in my post which was quoted above -Herald of Ice has a particular implementation detail which prevents the explosion damage from recognising the linked curse on hit gem.

Well I'm glad to hear it's not intended and it's getting some attention. Herald of thunder is inferior to thunder in a lot of builds. Would be great to see this fixed.

is it fixed now ?

Yes, and has been for some time.

Awesome, thanks for prompt confirmation ! I'm running a spectral throw CoC build in Darkshrine race and I'm looking forward to setup a Curse on hit with Herald once I can get enough link !!

why heralds of ice works and herald of ash burning effect does not work with curse on it?

both should work, or no?

I faced with this bug recently. I used HoI + curce on hit on my voltaxic ranger. It was fine for a while, but after I made several changes in passive tree, it suddenly stop working with LA and Ice shot. I dont see the the explosions from HoI and there is no curse on targets, so i can't keep my power charges from assasin's mark.
Interesting detail - it's still works fine with blast rain, but not with GMP skills. I don't know how to explain this issue...

It's easy, you don't do enough cold damage to actually freeze anything, and therefore you don't shatter them either.

I don't think it's true. As I said, it still work fine with blast rain, which has lower damage from one explosion.

As for LA vs Ice shot, I tried both, and I'm not sure which one is better, so I just use one of it depending on mood

Easy enough to test....go into a lower level area where monster life isn't as high. If you see the healrd applying curses, you know you're just not doing enough cold damage to get the herald explosion against higher monsters.

Checked in lvl 67 locations in act 4. It's all the same - yes with blast rain, no with LA/IS/split arrow.
