Herald of Ice is a self-cast buff that reserves mana to increase damage output. See also Herald of Ash and Herald of Thunder.
Mechanics
Like Herald of Ash and Herald of Thunder, Herald of Ice has two separate effects on the player:
- the first adds flat x-y cold damage to spells and attacks.
- the second is the on-kill effect. Upon shattering an enemy, the enemy explodes dealing cold secondary damage to surround targets in an AoE. Enemies will shatter if they are killed whilst frozen. Added damage support gems such as Module Error: No skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Added Lightning Damage Support" will be added to the explosion only.
It is worth noting that Herald of Ice is a secondary damage and not spell damage, and does not receive any direct bonuses from spell damage modifiers. This includes bonuses from items, passive nodes and spell only support gems such as Module Error: No skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Spell Echo Support" and Module Error: No skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Iron Will Support"
The quality of the gem is global. This means that the increased Cold Damage will affect all types of cold skills, not just Herald of Ice.
