Herald of Agony

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 The Coming Calamity, Cold Iron Point, and Empower Support.
The Ring Circle of Nostalgia has modifiers that directly buff the skill
Auras like Hatred supported by Generosity.
Frenzy Charges also apply to minions at a significant bonus. These can be granted to minions through the Victario's Charity shield, Poacher's Mark, or an item providing it Gluttony.
Support gems such as: Minion Damage, Point Blank, and Vile Toxins also offer a considerable boost to minion damage. The Crawler is also immune to any form of damage and cannot die, making Damage on Full Life a great option.
Temporary effects such as Flesh Offering, Spirit Offering, Vaal Haste, and Vaal Lightning Trap can also be taken advantage of.
Debuffs such as Intimidate from Belt of the Deceiver also increase minion damage.
Curses like Sniper's Mark also work.

For faster clear speed consider supports such as Pierce, Greater Multiple Projectiles, Faster Attacks, and Minion Speed. 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 Convocation to quickly teleport the Crawler to your location. This is useful when dealing with Proximity Shield mobs.

Version history

Version	Changes
3.19.0	The damage and life scaling values for minions have been adjusted. Generally speaking, minion life and damage is unchanged in the very early game, roughly 30% lower in mid acts, roughly 20% lower at level 20 of the minion skill, and roughly 10% lower at level 30 of the minion skill. Agony Crawler now gains 2% increased Attack Speed per Virulence you have at gem level 1 (unchanged), up to 4% at gem level 20 (previously 3%).
3.10.0	Agony Crawler now deals 5% increased physical damage per Virulence you have at gem level 1 (from 6%), up to 9% at gem level 20 (from 12%).
3.7.0	Now causes Agony Crawler to deal 6% increased physical damage per virulence you have at gem level 1 (from 10%), up to 12% at gem level 20 (from 19%).
3.5.0	The Agony Crawler summoned by this skill now deals increased Physical Damage per Virulence you have, rather than increased Damage.
3.4.2	The Herald of Agony skill gem now has a Chaos tag.
3.4.1	Fixed a bug where Blood Guard Herald and Faith Guard Herald effects were reversed when applied to Herald of Agony.
3.4.0	Herald of Agony has been added to the game.
