Here we are looking at the very interesting and different skill. Herald of Agony is a herald skill gem. When activated it reserves mana and grants a buff that gives a chance to inflict poison on enemies if the enemy is successfully poisoned the character gains Virulence and an Agony Crawler minion. Herald of Agony summons a Crawler based on how many times you have poisoned an enemy recently. The Crawler gets stronger and faster the more poisons you apply. Each poison is a stack of virulence, each virulence stack is a flat amount of physical damage and percent attack speed for the crawler. In order to build around that skill, the main thing you have to focus on is keeping virulence stacks as high as possible. Virulence stacks cap at 40, and the more stacks you have, the faster they fall off. Essentially keeping them above 35 is not easy.

Herald of Agony summons a Crawler based on how many times you have poisoned an enemy recently. The Crawler gets stronger and faster the more poisons you apply. Each poison is a stack of virulence, each virulence stack is a flat amount of physical damage and percent attack speed for the crawler. In order to build around that skill, the main thing you have to focus on is keeping virulence stacks as high as possible. Virulence stacks cap at 40, and the more stacks you have, the faster they fall off. Essentially keeping them above 35 is not easy.
