Guys, I'm playing Hardcore.
Heard that Heralds become stronger and stronger. Seems to lvl 5.
1. Your feeling: are they dangerous, hard to kill? I don't want to be unexpectedly one shoted.
2. How to you know the level of Herald? Just count yourself or it's indicated in the game somehow?


they get one mode decided by your tz mode.
mostly they hace 2 base mods like spectral hit, extra strong, curse and aura.
if they are souls for example and have fana aura it is okay, but if next to them is a mob group with conviction I hope you got your resi stacked like you want to pk a party alone...
it really depends on the situation and bad luck rng you face.

Got infinity sorc with 3.2k mana and 500 hp cuz i dont have light life skillers and no lifer/res sc either. My res are positives like 20all res overall and 75 psn in hell. Herald tier 5 in catacomb was a Fkin tainted with multi shot and almost killed me 1 hit and he blew up my merc with 3.8khp. Yes it's rough af cuz I had to ditch around and spam and repeat. Merc getting fkd cuz thorn aura from that herald is high.

How are you guys getting so many to spawn?


Join public game like chaos. Go farm wherever is the TZ and farm. You will drop a lot of shards because the odd in p8 is key and then you will be able to farm a whole act on your own games.

Yeah I been struggling with Shard drop on P1. Cannot sustain :/
Ill go try and farm some TZ in P8 games for the shards. I knew it was the case but needed someone to reconfirm. Thx.
Wish me good luck I am playing on 150+ ping with a 98.6 lvl :D

my trick to get most heralds single game, create a game and empty it with current TZ's. If you get a herald in it, then use a shard to TZ an entire different act.

If it is the 5 last mins of TZ rotation you should wait for next TZ, and watch then what will the be next-next TZ so you dont get to TZ that act, if you get lucky with which TZ spawns. This gives you up to 3 TZ and 1 Act with only 1 Shard use. You can even go up to 4 TZ but your idle time might get long on the 3 to 4th TZ.

Yeah I have tried out that technique, Sharding Act 1 after the 2 first TZ complete, then going to the 3rd TZ before it ends, then finishing Act 1. Its a good use of time and TZ rotation and shards imo. If y9u dont care about idling you could just keep the same game open for 24 hours and doing all TZ rotati9ns in the same game. But thats not what I'm about.


That’s a good weekend activity

Not worth during the week tho
