Herald of Purity Skill Reveal

An interesting addition for sure. Will have to see whether there will be any accompanying changes to the ascendancy tree.

Dominating Blow + Herald of Purity = Holy Legion Build :D.

looks great :) but cant you make them follow you areound in a square formation with the char as center ? :D would be so sick.

just a footnote here, how far is the ice trap rebalance?

If we invest in minion damage passives, our own character will lack damage and if we don't the minions will lack damage in endgame.
So 'the scourge' claw will be mandatory ?

On top of that, due to the minion IA not chasing monsters far away, the character has to always run close to the monsters so that the minions follow him and then attack monsters.
It is already slow when i use flame golem that can attack far away but it will be even worst with these sentinels because they are melee :/

is my herald skill mtx going to be applied to this skill?

I tend to have criticism, but this, this just looks cool. It wasn't in the game yet. Very nice. Playing a fragile physical damage caster? Slap this on your BV build and get extra damage and an alternate decoy totem effect perhaps. This with writhing jars where you keep spawning worms that infinitely heal your guardians for tough endgame boss fights? This skill with curse on hit punishment? Punishment getting a rework to affect all targets and not just melee? Who knows? Keep it coming GGG, gj.

BTW: Since it PURITY it must have a corrupted counterpart and since we don't have a chaos herald yet; vaal skill version of this gem where for a duration you convert % of phys to chaos damage?

This really really concerns me!

The guardian is currently one of the few classes that can be build around ES (because of Radiant Faith and Time of Need that can restore 30% ES in no time). I don't see this new skill as any kind of improvement or added value for the guardian, let alone making one or more of the notables depend on a specific skill. Please DON'T DO THAT!

The guardian is actually fine as it is. Current ascendency notables allow you to make a very tanky build. I'm afraid GGG is again limiting the build diversity: If you wanna make a tank, make a Jugg!

Sounds like you're going the assassin or necro route with guardian.

Ultra specific to give him identity, I guess?

I wish you wouldn't do that, it makes the game bland and boring.

We don't know gem info, but as it is on video, it seems very slow for any straight physical build. Herald of fire gives u immediate attack bonus, this create copies, which must run to creeps and attack. Maybe for bosses it can be useful if gem's creatures will have nice DMG and HP, otherwise its kinda useless. Then you can play normal "physical" summoner, but i dont think it can beat zombies or skeletons...

Oh man.
Way to screw those all Starforge+Brutality+Blood Magic builds. Or to add some new possibilites, depends how you look.
