Questions: Dont know if it is mechanics or a bug

Its been a while and I seem to have forgotten how these work.

First inquiry:
With poison, Herlad of Agony specifically, should spells that deal either Physical or Chaos deliver poison? Such as Wave of Conviction? Or is it weapon damage only now? Or something else?

Next query:
Should Bane work with Hextouch Support? Because it is not on my build.

Orb of Storms->Hextouch Support->Enfeeble -or- elemental weakness->Bane.

Or just bane no other hex for that matter.

Using enfeeble and elemental weakness both work.

Thanks for any info and help!

General Discussion is mostly for nonsensical rants and questionable takes, it's better to ask such questions in Gameplay Help and Discussion.


1. Yes, spells can poison as well as attacks when they deal physical or chaos damage. For HoAg you want something fast-hitting to generate Virulence.

2. No, Bane is not a hex. Like Hextouch, Bane can be used to apply linked hexes.

Orb of Storms->Hextouch Support->Enfeeble -or- elemental weakness->Bane

Enfeeble or Ele weakness is supported by two triggers (Hextouch and Bane, if its level is hight enough). The hex will be disabled, so it can't be applied at all.

Interesting, as I get zero virulence currently.

Thanks for the info on Bane.

What spell usable with cast on channel would you suggest to feed virulence?
