Herald of Ash 3L combo

Hi Exiles,

I've seen Herald of Ice + Ice bite support + curse on hit + Assassin's Mark before. But is there any 3L combo for Herald of Ash? Probably Herald of Ash + Flammability + Burning Damage support?

Herald of Ash doesn't hit so it cannot Curse on Hit.
Burning Damage, Increased Area of Effect, Rapid Decay, Increased Duration etc. should work.

Seems that Herald of Ice is the only Herald that can curse on hit?
Herald of Thunder can hit, too. There are lightning bolts that strike nearby enemies when you have landed a critical hit recently.

It's also worth noting that curse on hit is a "free" (no mana multiplier) support. Making a 3-link with herald of ash minus curse on hit will probably make it have an unreasonable mana reservation considering how wimpy the effects will generally be.

What if herald of ice is socketed into an elder glove of Socketed Gems are Supported by Level 16 Slower Projectiles and Socketed Gems are supported by Level 18 Blind? Will that work on raider's arrow skills? like stacking the supports. And these 2 elder mods will add mana multiplier?

Herald of Ice does not fire any projectiles, thus Slower Projectiles will not support it. (No change in the skill's effect, no mana cost increase.)

Blind will work; any enemy hit by the Herald's explosion will have a chance to be blinded. Blind has no mana penalty so the cost of the herald will stay the same.

I'm not quite sure what you're asking in the second part of your question - the modifier "Socketed gems are supported by X" only applies to gems socketed in that one item. If your attack skill is socketed in your body armor, these modifiers from your gloves will not affect it in any way.

Not much point in adding 3L combo if you're not focusing on herald itself (in some clearing build, or something, dunno), because it will increase reservation without worthy benefits.

That said, if you REALLY want to put something for, I dunno, clearspeed (?) you could probably, maybe use Ignite Proliferation (yes, there is such support), Burning Damage and some other DoT oriented support.

Herald of Ash no longer Ignites as of 3.0, so you can't Proliferate it anymore. :(

Oh, of course it doesn't. It would then make it nice to use. Almost forgot it is GGG we're dealing with. :V
