As it is worded now, yes. But they may rephrase it to "Elemental Herald". A term they did use somewhere else already, though I don't remember exactly where.

Raise something meta wow.

Next up: Chaos Herald.

BTW, am I the only one who was expecting this? 'Physical Herald' seems to have blindsided a lot of people, despite so much demand for it...

Not a big fan of linking it to minions (should have had a more 'general' secondary effect) but I can't complain about ANY attention given to physical damage at this point.

Nice

Why do not create a simple herald of physical (like HoT, HoI, HoA) with flat phys and possible to curse on hit) ?
It's good for a pure physical build with mdp/brutality & curse with vulnerability/punishment and dont need minions to do this ...
Why ???


ps : and a aura for physical damage, like Wrath, Anger and Hatred, it's not possible ?

The name seems ugly to me as "purity" on gems is more linked to resistances (Purity of XXX).
When i saw the title i thinked about an herald which could give +x % max resist ...

The new herald itself seems a good add-on to the game, but change the name, let's say Herald of Ghost or something.
That reminds me the chaos golem that has nothing to do with chaos damage :/

I have read every comment(so far)and i just dont get why people dislike the minions so much.
If you dont want to deal with buffing both the sentinels and the character itself,just use the herald only for the added phys and dont pay special attention to minions.
If you do want to do something cool with these sentinels and dominating blow,go ahead.Theres just as much if not even more diversity with this skill or without it.

What i think is a pretty huge nerf hammer shadowing over the games diversity is the new guardian change about specialising its ascendancy for only 1 skill and nothing else.o_O
building an ascendancy or a branch from one around a theme is the best way to build it,building it around a set of skills(elemental,melee,herald,poison)is pretty decent,but building it around JUST 1 skill is ruining its whole aspect and it bring the skill down with it!

Lets take the Guardian for example.A holy warrior,based on regen ES armour and block chance to be really tanky,that utilises auras to empower the other party members.
If you remove any of the notables and replace them with things like these,that only affect HoP,The Guardian becomes an old ass-man that uses HoP,and is also left-handed._.
The change is a pretty radical one,and most likely will not going to be well received.

Im not saying that introducing this skill in to the guardian ascendacy is not a good idea,but making it work needs a whole ascendancy rework,rather than just replacing 2 mediocre notables with those that either do virtually nothing(if youre not playing a very specific build)Or pretty nice(if youre playing one of very few builds,dominating blow or other minion skills)
The minions by themselfs seem pretty beefy,and so dont need a whole 2 notables just for themselfs(Buffing them via the new guardian reworks seems like a pretty good idea,but only if that ascendancy is not for only 1 skill.A good thing would be to somehow introduce the domination sentinels and the other heralds in the first notable,and just the other sentinels and those in the second notable,alonside some traditional buffs like regeneration and life/ES
stuff like that)

But,ofcourse,will have to see what GGG has in store for the Whole ascendacy,and that they dont stick with this idea.

Looks nice. Hope more skills not gonna drop FPS.

New skill are always welcome.. but please balance the others.. Arc need a nerf for sure, i rarely say this.. but each time I dont play with arc in his current state , I feel dumb af.
