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. Whenever the user poisons an enemy, it grants Virulence and summons an Agony Crawler minion, which becomes stronger with more stacks of Virulence.

Skill functions and interactions[ | ]

Virulence buff cannot go above 40 stacks.

Agony Crawler Minion has an implicit 40% Physical to Chaos damage conversion.
