Struggle ur way to library with minimal investment as melee (sunder for example)

Golden rule massive help for stacking up virulence - every reflected poison grants you stack of virulence for herald of agony

Make sure storm brand tooltip shows 2 minimum chaos damage to ensure all hits roll poison (not sure if with buffed lesser poison is to possible to not poison with lvl 1 but in current game it is possible to have too low dmg to poison every hit)

kaom's sign is whatever, go for kaoms way straight away

Trigger socketed spell craft in weapon helps clearing + single target a lot

Swap pierce gem for single target
