Feedback about Heralds
So the changes to Heralds have created some weird results.
Ash Herald of Ash still does overkill damage, but requires you to overkill them by a minimum amount? Why??? Does this even serve a purpose? It heavily gimps the potential of this Herald. Please re-evaluate. Ice & Thunder Herald of Ice & Thunder are now exclusive to attack builds, but only WEAPON attack builds. It greatly sucks to no longer enjoy these on spellcaster builds but it's also weird for it now to have such a heavy weapon dependency. This means that if players want to use the rangers totally valid concoctions (ice/lightning) as a primary way to deal damage, then you CANNOT use a herald effectively. Since the Concoctions are projectiles, the immediate best way to scale them is with bow / quiver projectile levels. The concoctions don't care about the weapon outside of attack speed & projectile gem level. Meanwhile since Ice & Thunder heralds scale directly from the weapon, one would literally need to actually get a GOOD bow to effectively make use of the heralds. I would recommend changing the damage scaling to check the hit that caused the effect rather than a "martial" weapon. It would also be nice if it was usable with spells again...
