For mace I have no idea... I never liked stun too much, except for trash. With a LOT of dmg it also works on bosses, but it's meh at best since PoE in its current state is all about DPS imo. Survivability wise (especially needed in HC I guess) it helps, but it won't safe you from insane dmg if you don't stun. With that I have to strongly disagree. My Pillar Groundslammer(meaning less stun than mace-2h) was always welcomed by piety/vaal MFer because I managed to almost perm-stun vaal and piety with heavy strike. That worked also on Mapbosses. (hint: dont use multistrike on heavystrike ...). I would love to see some buff in regards stun to make it easier on high hp targets, like an implicit that gives you a flat chance to stun (since with maces u want to go RT the base 5% crit->stun is taken away). Or increase damage on stunned targets, kinda like a "crit multi"  | ||

 And perma stunning those is no problem if you play solo, I dunno how it works in parties. With stun gem you can almost perma stun most map bosses. | ||

Calculation for stun, freeze etc. should always take the one-man hp, even in a 6 man party. I say "should" because I'm usually wrong about mechanics. -.-' | ||

I feel like I would get proliferations off, things would die, all of them would explode heralds out which would proliferate more yes/no ? | ||

I feel like I would get proliferations off, things would die, all of them would explode heralds out which would proliferate more yes/no ? fun idea, but I wonder if that would work well... because fast attack speed means low ignite dmg, short shock duration and very short freeze duration. | ||

My primary concern is actually paying the mana cost for supported elemental hit though.. if I am using it really fast it's going to be expensive... and if I run blood magic gem then I have to use life leech. what to do what to do I was going to just try to use gear and phy life leech nodes with pots and regen to support my life. I wonder if with righteous decree and some mana leech on gear I could support it?? | ||

Since you are using Herald of Fire to ignite, killing an enemy that is frozen won't do anything because it shatters. No idea for your second question. For your general idea: I think ultra high attack speed is kind of necessary. But at the same time that means your proliferations will do next to nothing. Especially ignite needs large hits to be effective. The other two probably work well without high hits provided that you exceed the dmg treshold to apply them at all. | ||

I think you're right actually, when a monster shatters it does not leave a corpse and the corpse is what does the prolifing. I just remember playing a discharger and hating it when i would freeze things because there would be no burn which was the majority of the dmg. It might be less annoying with your variant. | ||
