Herald of Ice

Template:Gem Infobox Herald of Ice is a self cast 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 grants a flat X-X increased cold damage to spells and attacks.

The second is the on-kill effect. Upon shattering an enemy, the enemy explodes dealing cold damage to surround targets in an AoE. Enemies will shatter if they are killed whilst frozen. Added damage support gems such as Added Lightning Damage will be added to the explosion only.

It is worth noting that herald of Ice is a cast and "NOT A SPELL" and does not receive any direct bonuses from spell damage modifiers. This includes bonuses from gear, passive nodes and spell only support gems such as and

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.
