How Does Plague Bearer Work?
Stores Poison Damage
The Plague Bearer Spirit Gem allows you to store all Poison damage, allowing you to detonate it and release a Plague Nova. The explosion will deal Physical Damage and apply Poison based on the amount of damage stored based on the expected Poison damage.
Naturally, the Plague Bearer synergizes with builds like the Poison Pathfinder, which hones in on Poison damage. To use the Plague Nova, you must equip the skill by hovering over the Skills tab beside your mana pool and assigning it a hotkey!
Use the Plague Bearer to its maximum potential by only using the skill when you have accumulated 100% Poison damage. You will receive a sound cue, and your character will be highlighted with a sickly green tinge when you have reached the maximum amount!

Anonymous about 1 yearDoes anyone know how to actually use the skill to do damage? I see it charging up as I deal poison but the skill bind doesn’t seem to activate it even at 100% charge.
