Great thread and you just have your own drop rate increased by another 100% by posting the thread! Best of luck!

Is herald tier tied to game of also char.
Can I make a game and switch chars midway

Herald tier is tied to the game so if any player killed 4 heralds before, any new herald spawned from any player will be the herald of terror.
Also if you draw the ire you can leave the game and return with the same character and still have it (obviously if you change characters you will lose it).

drawing the ire just means he's ready to spawn - it's not tied to any character

It is tied, if you have multiple players in the game and one character draws the ire, every newly discovered terrorized monster in his vicinity has a chance to become a herald.
That and only that character can spawn a herald next to him.

incorrect, as i had 3 heralds ready to spawn, told a friend and went afk.

he joined the game, had all 3 spawn and killed them

as stated above it's tied only to the game. Yesterday we drew the ire and then a player that was out of the game joined, terrorized a different act with a shard and Telesorc-spawned the herald for us.

I don't remember when I am in a public game to ever spawn another active player's herald (I have found 3 latent sunder charms so I have hunted a lot).
I am not sure if because you left the game the ires were "transfered" to the other player. I know that if I leave the game and return with the same character I still have the ire so it might be that I can rejoin with another character and still be able to spawn based on what you said.

Ok i believe you I will test it with my nova sorc. It is just the it didn't happen to me before (or had that impression at least).

The whole herald spawning+drop is so low it makes you question the mechanics indeed. We did quite a few tests yesterday, have confirmed this. The only thing I don't know is what is the TZ level requirement for charms to drop. We assume 75 since that's the ilvl that was datamined.
