Elemental/Lightning Modifiers affect both the additive on-hit damage and the On-kill effect damage of Herald of Thunder. (This is only true if the modifiers have no further restrictions, unlike e.g. [[Elemental Dominion]] which only affects spells.)

Because Herald of Thunder is a [[Cast]] and not a [[Spell]] it is not directly affected by Items, Support Gems or Passive Skills which specifically modify Spells. However, such [[Spell]] modifiers will affect Herald of Thunder's added on-hit damage if the skill that damage is added to is a Spell.


Because Herald of Thunder is a [[Cast]] and not a [[Spell]] it does not receive any direct Spell bonuses from Gear, Skill-Gems or from the Skill-tree. This also applies to support gems which specifically modify Spells (Eg. {{sl|Spell Echo}} and {{sl|Iron Will}}). However when using a Spell the additive on-hit damage will receive indirect bonuses from [[Spell]] modifiers.

This page is about the skill gem. For the unique monster, see Herald of Thunder (unique monster).

Herald of Thunder is a self-cast effect that reserves mana to increase damage output. See also Herald of Ash and Herald of Ice.

Mechanics

Similar to the Herald of Ash and Herald of Ice skill gems, Herald of Thunder has two separate effects.

The first is an additive global X-X lightning damage modifier, which applies to both spells and attacks.

The Second component is the on-kill effect, which is triggered upon killing an enemy with the shocked status. The skill then casts Lightning bolts which deal lightning damage to enemies in an AoE similar to the Nemesis buff Storm Herald. It is worth noting that this AoE is based on the position of the player and will follow the player as they move, though the effect will only cast if there are enemies in range. The damage caused from this effect 'cannot' shock enemies and is not AoE damage.

The on-kill effect will strike an enemy or destructible object every 250ms, but will not strike the same enemy again for 400ms.[1]

Unlike Herald of Ash, the on kill effect from Herald of Thunder applies to enemies killed by attacks as well as spells.

Interactions

Elemental Damage

Elemental and Lightning Damage modifiers affect both the on-hit and on-kill effects of Herald of Thunder (see the "Casting and Spell Interactions" section below for exceptions). Added damage from Support Gems such as Module Error: No skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Added Cold Damage" and Module Error: No skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Added Chaos Damage" only applies to Herald of Thunder's on-kill effect.


Casting and Spell Interactions

Because Herald of Thunder is a Cast and not a Spell it is not directly affected by Items, Support Gems or Passive Skills which specifically modify Spells. However, such Spell modifiers will affect Herald of Thunder's added on-hit damage if the skill that damage is added to is a Spell.

Being a Cast, Herald of Thunder benefits from Gear, Support gems and Passive Skills which modify Cast (Eg. Faster casting). Faster casting increases the cast speed of the Herald of Thunder buff itself, but does not affect any other aspect of the skill.[2]


AoE and Duration

Area of Effect modifiers like Module Error: No skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Increased Area of Effect" and Module Error: No skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Concentrated Effect" affect the radius in which which Herald of Thunder's on-kill effect can strike targets. Module Error: No skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Concentrated Effect" does not appear to increase the tooltip damage of Herald of Thunder's on-kill effect. Duration modifiers like Module Error: No skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Increased Duration" and Module Error: No skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Less Duration" affect the duration of the on-kill effect.


Auras, Buffs and Mana Reservation

Like Herald of Ash and Herald of Ice, Herald of Thunder is not an Aura and does not receive bonuses from Aura nodes, Items or Support Gems. It does reserve mana however, and it therefore benefits from "reduced Mana Reserved" modifiers from Support Gems, Items and Passive Skills.


Quality

Herald of Thunder's Increased Lightning Damage quality bonus is global, meaning that it affects the character's Lightning Damage from all sources, not only Herald of Thunder.
