Skill functions and interactions
- Extra Fire Damage: This modifier adds fire damage to all non-damage-over-time sources, including those from spells, attacks, and traps. The amount added is equal to 15% of the damage source's physical damage.
- Burn on kill: While Herald of Ash is active, when an enemy is killed by an attack (but not a spell), enemies within a radius from the killed enemy are burned based on the overkill damage. Overkill damage refers to total excess damage of the killing hit, including non-fire damage.[1] The burning damage is affected by increased Burning Damage and increased Damage Over Time. This damage cannot be reflected.
- Fire Damage: The increased Fire Damage from quality applies globally to all fire damage, including the extra fire damage effect of Herald of Ash.
- Support gems: Any support gems (with the exception of Module Error: No skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Enhance") linked to the Herald of Ash will only affect the burn damage caused by overkill damage, not the extra fire damage from physical. For example, linking Module Error: No skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Item Rarity" to Herald of Ash will only apply rarity bonus to the enemies who die from the burn damage caused by Herald of Ash ignition.
- Area of Effect: Area of Effect modifiers from passives, items and gems affect the radius of the on-kill effect.
- Culling Strike: When using an attack with culling strike, the overkill effect will only apply if the damage from the killing hit would have taken the monster to less than 0 life.

Strategy
In the case where enemy death occurs uniformly at random with respect to damage dealt, the chance of an enemy dying from a particular hit is proportional to the damage the hit deals. The mean overkill damage for that hit is half the damage of the hit. This makes the mean overkill damage overall equal to
0.5 * (mean damage2) / mean damage
Video
The video is outdated. Please note that Module Error: No skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Reduced Mana Support" no longer affect Mana Reservation as it used to. Herald of Ash applies Burning Damage instead of Ignite (an elemental ailment), consequently Module Error: No skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Elemental Proliferation" no longer affects it.
