Plenty of threads talking about the build changes, but don't really see anyone talking about the new Herald mechanic.

Personally i'm loving it. Getting a herald or two in each TZ is a lot more fun and challenging that getting maybe 1 the entire act.

Something i dislike though: They're spawning like opening an Evil Urn in A5.

Are they spawning right on top of everyone else?

Them replacing a Champion+ Pack is the better mechanic in my opinion. If you don't have teleport to move around with, you got a giant pack of Concentration aura monsters spawning on top of you. Fun for SC, but HC this could be really bad for.

As a side note, found my second Latent Sunder so far off a t2 Herald lol

Not THAT is nasty

Good, no easy mode farming in terror zines. Herald drops are gg btw.

I agree with that for the most part anyways xD it makes you feel like they are actually hunting you, rather than you are hunting them. So it's a good thing if you look at it that way.

At least it takes a few seconds for them to spawn so it's not an instant "you got 20 concentration aura archers on top of you"

Can see a lot of people getting killed cause they got a lag spike or something as the Herald is spawned though haha.

I think there should be content harder to go through and rewarded as such, it hurts to see that this good changed is dumbed down like that.

the heralds just spawning ontop of u can be quite deadly for HC or under geared guys.

Sunders price gna tank, ppl could pop them like candy under the old mechanic if you knew how, hell I found 2 solo playing under the old mechanic, I imagine under the new it will be child's play.

Also, not mad.

So heralds just spawn randomly? Not like how current live version is like?

They get triggered by you killing monsters, not just Champions+ like it is in the live version. Once they're trigger, you get the Hunted By a Herald message and a couple seconds later they spawn near you as if you popped an Evil Urn in a5. So can spawn a dozen Concentration aura mobs literally on top of your head. lol

Dang thats intense… yea that sounds like a death trap in HC p8
