Introduction to the Build:

I love Herald of Agony and have played it several leagues in the past. I leveled this particular character in ZiggyD's Private League where items did not drop Rare or Magic. This meant I didn't have access to some of the Unveiled crafting recipes that would offer other tools for this build to use such as -Mana Cost of Skills.

This build was great to start a league with as all the core items for the build are easily accessible and you can start leveling with the Herald as soon as you get it.

This is a MINION build. The only scaling for my own attacks that I really care about is poison frequency, which we scale in a few ways. Most importantly is raw attack speed, as well as Minion Attack Speed which we also scale with thanks to the "Spiritual Aid" notable.

I chose Champion for a few reasons. Firstly the Permanent Fortify is a great damage reduction and probably the best you can get as a minion build. Secondly "Worthy Foe" increased all damage taken by enemies which is a damage multiplier. All the damage we do and scale up is buffed by this. It's important to note that I did NOT take "First to Strike, Last to Fall" because I am unlikely to be able to hit most monsters while they are at full life. Additionally the inability for Enemies to evade attacks buffs both our Poison rate as well as the damage from our Agony Crawler as it negates any need for accuracy.

This build can do all the content in Path of Exile with Little Difficulty. I personally prefer to use Toxic Rain over Rain of Arrows or some other bow skill.

Toxic Rain has 3 parts. The Initial Hit, the pod explosion, and the damage over time. Both the Initial Hit and the Explosion can poison and I really like the Lotus MTX for the skill.

Rain of Arrows is an equally valid choice if you like it better, use it.

The only damage source is the Agony Crawler. I personally leave Toxic Rain at level 1 due to mana costs and keeping the self poison damage to a minimum.
I chose to scale the damage of the crawler through elemental sk
Elemental Equilibrium - Flat Fire Damage, makes the enemy Weak to Lightning and Cold which we give with Hatred and Physical to Lightning (and possibly Grip of the Council).
