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.

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 tính | Chi tiết |
|---|---|
| Effect | Attacks against affected targets gain 25% physical damage as extra fire damage |
| Duration | 6 giây |
| Max Stacks | 1 (default), 2 với Marshal of Divinity |
| Consumption | Single-use — bị remove sau 1 allied attack |
| Restriction | Không 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.
Gem Stats
Scaling theo Level
| Level | Str Req | Int Req | Hallowing Flame Magnitude |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 0 | 0 | 0% increased |
| 6 | 11 | 8 | 8% increased |
| 12 | 33 | 23 | 20% increased |
| 18 | 56 | 38 | 32% increased |
| 20 | 70 | 48 | 46% increased |
Quality Bonus
| Quality % | Bonus |
|---|---|
| 1% | +0.5% increased magnitude of Hallowing Flame |
| 10% | +5% increased magnitude |
| 20% | +10% increased magnitude |
Note: "Magnitude" scaling tăng hiệu quả của 25% phys-as-fire conversion. Exact interaction (additive vs multiplicative) chưa confirm.
Supported Skills
Hallow Support works với bất kỳ melee attack skill nào player cast trực tiếp. 105 compatible gems theo poedb.tw.
Best Pairings
| Skill | Synergy Level | Lý do |
|---|---|---|
| Holy Strike | S-Tier | Holy Armaments = perfect consumers, undamageable |
| Dominating Blow | A-Tier | Large minion army = high consumption rate |
| Cyclone | B-Tier | Fast hits = frequent application |
| Ground Slam | B-Tier | AoE hits = nhiều targets có Hallowing Flame |
| Cleave | B-Tier | Multi-hit melee |
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:
| Effect | Chi tiết |
|---|---|
| Inflict Hallowing Flame on Melee Hit | Passive — không cần gem |
| +1 Hallowing Flame cap | Nâng từ 1 → 2 stacks |
| 10% phys as extra lightning per removed stack | Max 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

Unknowns (Cần In-Game Testing)
| Unknown | Tại sao quan trọng |
|---|---|
| Magnitude scaling | "Increased magnitude" tăng 25% phys-as-fire ratio hay affect khác? |
| Multi-minion consumption | 3 Armaments attack cùng lúc vs 1 stack — ai consume? |
| Hallow + Marshal stacking | Additive hay multiplicative magnitude? |
| Totem interaction | Totems có consume được Hallowing Flame? |
