    Herald of Purity

    Herald of Purity is a herald skill gem. When activated, it reserves mana for a buff that grants more physical damage for Attacks and spells. It also summons a Sentinel of Purity minion when the player kills an enemy or on hitting a rare or unique enemy while active.

    Skill functions and interactions

    • Sentinels: Sentinels use regular melee attacks, as well as Shield Charge on a cooldown. They can also use Crusade Slam, which deals area of effect damage in a cone in front of them.
    • Support Gems: The Sentinels' attacks can be supported by gems such as Melee Physical Damage Support or Minion Damage Support. This will result in a higher mana reservation. Sentinels cannot be supported by Curse on Hit (to for example apply an curse on enemies).
    • Sentinel stats scale heavily with the gem level of Herald of Purity. For example at gem level 20 they have a base physical damage of 729 to 1,094 (before the inherent "Minions deal x% more Physical Damage" modifier) with a total life of 10,119 per Sentinel (before the inherent "Minions have x% more Life" modifier), while at gem level 15 their base physical damage is 438 to 657 with a total life of 6,171 per Sentinel.
    • Sentinels have 40% Elemental Resistances and 20% Chaos Resistance.
    • Sentinels have a base attack time of 1.20.

    Version history

    VersionChanges
    3.19.0
  • The damage and life scaling values for minions have been adjusted. Generally speaking, minion life and damage is unchanged in the very early game, roughly 30% lower in mid acts, roughly 20% lower at level 20 of the minion skill, and roughly 10% lower at level 30 of the minion skill.
  • Sentinels of Purity now deal approximately 15% more Damage at all levels. Sentinels' Crusade Slam skill now has a 5 second cooldown (previously 6 seconds) and 100% more Area of Effect (previously 80%).
  • 3.16.0
  • Sentinels of Purity summoned with Herald of Purity now have 40% less Life.
  • Because of base Ignite damage changes, Ignite with the skill is now 50.0% higher when using the Death Wish skill from the Maw of Mischief Unique Helmet.
  • 3.11.0
  • No longer grants added Physical Damage with Spells and Attacks.
  • Now grants 9% more Physical Damage at gem level 1, up to 12% more Physical Damage at gem level 20.
  • 3.8.0
  • Summoned Sentinels can now use Crusade Slam regardless of Ascendancy. Previously, this required a specific Guardian notable.
  • 3.5.0
  • Minions summoned by this skill now deal more Physical Damage based on gem level, rather than more Damage.
  • 3.4.3f
  • Now has a chance to summon a Sentinel of Purity when you hit a Rare enemy.
  • 3.4.0
  • Herald of Purity has been added to the game.
