MECHANICS

Hallow Support

Quick Summary: Support gem mới trong 3.28 Mirage — khiến melee attacks inflict Hallowing Flame debuff lên enemies. Hallowing Flame cho phép allies/minions attack target để gain 25% physical damage as extra fire damage. Debuff không thể consume bởi người inflict — cần minions hoặc allies. Core synergy với Holy Strike Guardian + Marshal of Divinity tạo damage loop tự duy trì.

Overview

  • Gem Name: Hallow Support
  • Gem Type: Support
  • Gem Color: Red (Strength/Intelligence hybrid)
  • Gem Tags: Physical, Fire, Support, Melee, Attack
  • Mana Multiplier: 110%
  • Level Requirement: 1 (available Act 1)
  • Release: 3.28 Mirage (gem mới)

How It Works

Core Mechanic

Hallow Support khiến supported melee attacks inflict Hallowing Flame debuff khi hit enemy:

"Supports melee attacks you use yourself. Does not modify skills used by minions. Supported Skills inflict Hallowing Flame on Melee Hit."

Hallowing Flame Debuff

Thuộc tínhChi tiết
EffectAttacks against affected targets gain 25% physical damage as extra fire damage
Duration6 giây
Max Stacks1 (default), 2 với Marshal of Divinity
ConsumptionSingle-use — bị remove sau 1 allied attack
RestrictionKhông thể consume bởi người inflict — cần minions/allies

Consumption Hierarchy

1. Minion attack → consume Hallowing Flame ✓
2. Party member attack → consume ✓
3. Totem/Spectre attack (nếu inflicted bởi người khác) → consume ✓
4. Người inflict tự attack → KHÔNG consume ✗

Design Intent: Hallowing Flame buộc builds phải có allies/minions để khai thác — tạo ra hybrid melee+minion archetype mới.

Best Pairings

SkillSynergy LevelLý do
Holy StrikeS-TierHoly Armaments = perfect consumers, undamageable
Dominating BlowA-TierLarge minion army = high consumption rate
CycloneB-TierFast hits = frequent application
Ground SlamB-TierAoE hits = nhiều targets có Hallowing Flame

Không Compatible

  • Skills cast bởi totems, traps, mines
  • Minion skills (explicitly excluded)
  • Non-melee attacks (bows, wands)

Marshal of Divinity Synergy

Guardian Ascendancy Notable (Mới 3.28)

Marshal of Divinity là premium pairing cho Hallow Support:

EffectChi tiết
Inflict Hallowing Flame on Melee HitPassive — không cần gem
+1 Hallowing Flame capNâng từ 1 → 2 stacks
10% phys as extra lightning per removed stackMax 80% (recently = 4 giây)

The Damage Loop

1. Player melee hit → Apply 2x Hallowing Flame (Marshal of Divinity cap)
2. Holy Armaments (3 minions) attack same target
3. Armament hit → Consume 1 stack → Gains 25% phys as fire
4. Player gains 10% phys as extra lightning per consumed stack (recently)
5. Sustained combat → 80% cap = +80% phys as lightning for player
6. Player hits again → Re-apply → LOOP VÔ HẠN

Stacking Hallow Support + Marshal of Divinity

Nếu dùng cả hai Hallow Support + Marshal of Divinity:

  • Cả hai đều inflict Hallowing Flame
  • Hallow Support thêm 46% increased magnitude (level 20)
  • Kết quả: Stronger Hallowing Flame debuff + passive application từ ascendancy

Build Rankings

S-Tier: Holy Strike Guardian

Holy Strike + Hallow Support
Guardian: Marshal of Divinity
→ Holy Armaments consume → Player gains 80% phys as lightning
→ Self-sustaining damage loop

Tại sao S-Tier:

  • Holy Armaments là undamageable minions → luôn sống
  • 3 Armaments = 3 potential consumers
  • Marshal of Divinity doubles Hallowing Flame cap
  • Lightning scaling stacks với physical scaling

A-Tier: Dominating Blow Guardian/Necro

  • Dominated minions consume Hallowing Flame
  • Large army = high consumption rate
  • Thiếu "undamageable" property → minions có thể chết

A-Tier: Holy Strike Necromancer

  • Minion damage bonuses apply to Armaments
  • Thiếu Marshal of Divinity lightning loop
  • Pure damage scaling thay vì feedback loop

B-Tier: Absolution Guardian

  • Sentinels consume stacks
  • Harder to maintain application rate (spell, không phải melee)
  • Cần extra melee attack để apply Hallowing Flame

UnknownTại sao quan trọng
Magnitude scaling"Increased magnitude" tăng 25% phys-as-fire ratio hay affect khác?
Multi-minion consumption3 Armaments attack cùng lúc vs 1 stack — ai consume?
Hallow + Marshal stackingAdditive hay multiplicative magnitude?
Totem interactionTotems có consume được Hallowing Flame?
