The skill...? Herald of Purity. Herald of Purity, like the other Herald skills, adds damage to your attacks and spells -- Physical Damage in this case. Killing enemies with Herald of Purity active summons a Sentinel of Purity for you. You can have up to four of these beefy minions at once. They have a basic melee attack for use against single enemies, and an area-of-effect slam for groups. Killing enemies while you have four Sentinels of Purity active will restore the life and refresh the duration of one of them, rather than killing and replacing it.

On-kill effects such as this lose some usefulness against tough bosses, so you also have a chance to summon or refresh a Sentinel of Purity whenever you hit a Unique enemy.

You can specialise in this Herald to some degree with one of the new Guardian Ascendancy notable passives, Radiant Crusade, which boosts the amount of added Physical Damage you get from the effect of the Herald, as well as increasing the area of effect of your Sentinels of Purity. The other new notable after it even gives them a new, more powerful slam skill on a cooldown.

And of course, you'll be able to further capitalise on your minions with a number of new passive skills in the passive skill tree.

Nothing to do with PAX, but I'll be out of the country from the day before the new league start, so I'll get booted too I'm sure. Oh well, might make me take a break!

Dunno if that's a marauder or a duelist, but his primary attack is Cyclone, and he's also using Ancestral Warchief and Herald of Ash.

Those are usually lab farmers. 6k life on a jugg built for mitigation is easily enough to tank uberlab.

These might show up when you don't have the names appear, allowing for less visual clutter and still have a clear representation of a key item dropping for the player.

Its just another quality of life feature that might not be necessary (EXALTED Orb shouted at you go get one ), but if it makes some people enjoy the game more, why not?

Is there any kind of viable dual-wield build for Ranger? Or is that just for Duelists?

Its easier to read a beam of light as a chaos orb than text saying "chaos orb" and reduces the chance of you missing it because your eyes glaze over all the rares that dropped

Honestly, here's a thing that takes some getting used to - virtually any class can do any archetype. Ranger can definitely do a bunch of dual-wielding setups.

Dual wielding relevant classes:
Ranger is fast as hell, the Raider ascendancy is super newbie friendly and dual wielding or 1h + shield builds are its bread and butter.
Duelist is much tankier and gets really easy life steal access on the passive tree. The Gladiator ascendancy gives some small bonuses for dual wielding, while the Champion ascendancy is just extremely hard to kill and gets massively empowered if they've been close to death recently.
Shadows are sorta the glass cannon class in a way-- they don't have to be fragile, but it's easy to stack ridiculous critical or poison damage on them that will chump bosses. Assassin and Trickster are about equally suited to dual wielding but Trickster is a lot harder to plan a build around if you aren't just using a guide.

I made a frost blade dw ahn's might jugg in beastiary HC. Similar tree, faster map clear but a lower single target. I had around 7.5kish life with a Belly but I ripped to a 1 shot crit + shock from a full power charge Fairgraves in that pirate unique map

Overall, ahn's might gave really good dps for the price of the weapons but I wouldn't recommend it as a your final weapon cause the lack of frenzy charges meant that leap slamming around was kind of sluggish compared to using rare swords

frost blades cleared the screen in red maps even with ancestral call when I got to them though so the cleave version would have more than enough damage
