Herald

5 comments 11833 views

Description

Herald is a new monster variation in Reign of the Warlock that can only appear in Hell difficulty, in terrorized zones. They are spawned by repeatedly killing enough champion/elite/superunique monsters in terrorized zones.

All

Herald monsters have a chance of dropping the new Sunder Charms (like

Latent Bone Break for example).

Every time a

Herald is killed, the next time one spawns, it will be of a higher tier. There are five tiers of

Herald. The lowest tier is the weakest and has normal drops, whereas the higher tiers can drop more items and get progressively stronger with every spawn.

Name	Drops
Herald of Fright	Normal drops
Herald of Dread	Normal drops
Herald of Fear	Normal drops + 1 extra item
Herald of Horror	Normal drops + 1 extra item
Herald of Terror	Normal drops + 2 extra items

Heralds must be spawned in the same game. Heralds always have an aura. Every

Herald that spawns after

Herald of Terror will be a

Herald of Terror (with increasing stats).

Heralds always spawn with aura enchanted, but they can spawn with 2 auras at once, and the second aura can be outside of the normal pool of aura enchanted auras.

In the example below, the

Herald spawned with Both

Fanaticism aura and

Thorns aura.

Double aura enchanted Herald with both the Thorns and Fanaticism Auras

Apparently it's possible to use

Bind Demon on a

Herald if the

Herald spawned as a demon (see forums/binding-a-herald-t1692088.html).

When playing online any tier of

Herald can drop a Latent Sunder.

When playing offline only a

Herald of Horror and

Herald of Terror can drop a Latent Sunder.

2% chance to get a
Herald "token" when killing an elite (champ/unique/superunique/boss - but not the minion of an elite)
1% chance to use a
Herald "token" to upgrade any white monster to
Herald. Upgrade/Convert process happens when new monsters spawn.
Herald "tokens" are shared among players/party
Herald "token" can stack (e.g. you can Draw the Ire 3x, spawn a
Herald 2x, Draw the Ire 2x more times - it is NOT a 1 token-in-1 token out process)
Can collect "token" in one TZ, and use it in a different but does not carry across games

Herald's have the following Latent Sunder drop chances:
Level 1:

p1–2: 0.3677% (~1 in 272)
p3–4: 0.7326% (~1 in 136.5)
p5–6: 1.0950% (~1 in 91.3)
p7–8: 1.4545% (~1 in 68.8)

Level 5 (3x drop rate):

p1–2: 1.0949% (~1 in 91.3)
p3–4: 2.1659% (~1 in 46.2)
p5–6: 3.2139% (~1 in 31.1)
p7–8: 4.2388% (~1 in 23.6)

The level of a

Herald that spawns is based on the number of heralds killed, with no effect coming from the number spawned nor the type of

Herald killed.
For example if you draw the ire of 3 heralds without spawning any, then spawn two they will both be tier 1 heralds, Heralds of Fright.
However if you kill both of these and then spawn the third

Herald it will be a tier 3

Herald, a

Herald of Fear.
