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.

Minion damage can be increased through many methods, such as:

  • Gem level boosts, such as Module Error: No results found for item using search term "item_name = The Coming Calamity", Module Error: No results found for item using search term "item_name = Cold Iron Point", and Module Error: No results found for item using search term "item_name = Empower Support".
  • The Ring Module Error: No results found for item using search term "item_name = Circle Of Nostalgia" has modifiers that directly buff the skill
  • Auras like Module Error: No results found for item using search term "item_name = Hatred" supported by Module Error: No results found for item using search term "item_name = Generosity Support".
  • Frenzy charges also apply to minions at a significant bonus. These can be granted to minions through the Module Error: No results found for item using search term "item_name = Victario's Charity" shield, Module Error: No results found for item using search term "item_name = Poacher's Mark", or an item providing it Module Error: No results found for item using search term "item_name = Gluttony".
  • Support gems such as: Module Error: No results found for item using search term "item_name = Minion Damage Support", Module Error: No results found for item using search term "item_name = Point Blank Support", and Module Error: No results found for item using search term "item_name = Vile Toxins Support" also offer a considerable boost to minion damage. The Crawler is also immune to any form of damage and cannot die, making Module Error: No results found for item using search term "item_name = Damage on Full Life Support" a great option.
  • Temporary effects such as Module Error: No results found for item using search term "item_name = Flesh Offering", Module Error: No results found for item using search term "item_name = Spirit Offering", Module Error: No results found for item using search term "item_name = Vaal Haste", and Module Error: No results found for item using search term "item_name = Vaal Lightning Trap" can also be taken advantage of.
  • Debuffs such as Intimidate from Module Error: No results found for item using search term "item_name = Belt of the Deceiver" also increase minion damage.
  • Curses like Module Error: No results found for item using search term "item_name = Sniper's Mark" also work.[confirmation needed because of 3.12 change]

For faster clear speed consider supports such as Module Error: No results found for item using search term "item_name = Pierce Support", Module Error: No results found for item using search term "item_name = Greater Multiple Projectiles Support", Module Error: No results found for item using search term "item_name = Faster Attacks Support", and Module Error: No results found for item using search term "item_name = Minion Speed Support". There is also an Uber Labyrinth enchantment that grants 2 additional projectiles to your Minion Crawler: Summoned Agony Crawler fires 2 additional Projectiles

Consider using Module Error: No results found for item using search term "item_name = Convocation" to quickly teleport the Crawler to your location. This is useful when dealing with Proximity Shield mobs.
