Is there a reason why you're running disciples on your cluster jewels? Does the CD reduction apply to agony crawler?

Yes, if you can. I will be soon checking for better mods for the build as there are too many combinations and some of them are very expensive

Just a short recap of my league start with this build: It was fun getting into red maps (and collecting 30 watchstones) with it, and progression felt smooth. Heists and Delve were an absolute snoozefest.

However, I decided to skill out of Cyclone and HoAg and rather go Lacerate Bleed because I think that the playstyle of this build is not a very good approach for bosses such as Sirus (maybe this is also a player-skill/experience thing too).

The build maintains high virulence by hitting fast. If we need to disengage (to dodge or because Sirus teleports), we lose virulence and building up some takes time after we regained focus. If we wait for too long, the crawler vanishes altogether and we need to ramp up from scratch.

Defense-wise a similar thing happens: Our life gain on hit is best when we actually hit. We do not have a lot of regen or life leech which is still active when not actively attacking. Also, even the presence on "recover life on block" does not help a lot against bosses which hit seldom, but hard.

And all of this would probably be fine if there were adds/trash mobs which we could constantly harrass, regardless if the boss is currently present. But alas, Sirus is more of the "lonely at the top" guy.

It was fun and a good league start, but I am not sure if I'd repeat that next league.

Hi
I'm reading other Herald of agony build:
I have some questions:
1) Lesser poison support would sum with Poison support gem? Could it better than faster attack?

2) why not using Summon Holy Relic, arent' better options than the spectres? ( i do not like them so much)

1) it's not better than faster attack. With faster attck you heal as well as you hit more often
2) spectres because they are tanky and won't be killed

viable in 3.13?
