Zealot’s Oath makes use of some life regeneration you have here and there, and also applies the life regeneration you get from your Summon Stone Golem to your life pool instead. Offensively, your job is to curse whole packs of monsters to make sure they will explode via Profane Bloom when hit by your crawler. Thanks, Yeah, Quill should do fine while leveling throughout the story.Just stick to Rain of Arrows then :). The Herald of Agony setup we’re using has 2 Support gems that could become Awakened Gems. Hello.. nice build so far.. For starters, create a Marauder in whichever league you want to start. Appreciate the quick reply. They are rare drops, which you can otherwise only acquire if you have saved up currency, so do not focus on them too much, and instead simply look for items that match the affix priorities listed in the Gearing section. This requires some very profound optimizing of your Resistance rolls though, or relying on Endurance Charges to get you capped. With Cluster Jewels, the maximum Virulence stacks becomes 50 instead of 40, so you need to hit relatively fast to inflict enough Poisons to be able to keep them up reliably. Use Vaal Discipline in sticky situations. The main purpose of the jewel is to make your Ball Lightning deal a type of damage that can poison(only chaos and physical damage can inflict poisons, other damage types can too but it gets complicated), so you can stack up your Virulence stacks with this particular skill. Otherwise, there’s always Dexterity to be found on +30 Passives or on gearslots where you can spare a suffix. Our Ascendancy, Bandit, and Pantheon Power page goes into detail about all the choices you need to make in these regards. The reason why the transitioning becomes so much easier when you have a Quill Rain is the base Attack Speed the bow offers. Hey, you can have Energy From Within in several places, but we recommend placing it next to Melding. This, in addition to Vaal Molten Shell, makes the character deal with bursts of damage really well too. If you want to improve the chance further you can look for 5% chance to poison on jewels, preferably combined with percent energy shield. This Herald of Agony Juggernaut is a really well balanced build. While it’s impervious to most types of damage it still packs quite a punch in the offensive department. By going Occultist you can also manage go for at least 10k energy shield pool with ease; you also do not worry about stuns, and the sustain via Wicked Ward and Vile Bastion is incredible.

Herald of Agony will easily carry all the way up to level 53, when you should equip The Coming Calamity and socket the gem in it.
