The proc pool only charges if xp goes towards the Rakta Cernos. If you kill ennemies with melee or abilities, little to no xp goes towards your primary. The charge goes up only if you use the syndicate weapon or an ally kills ennemies near you.

Also due to its special mechanics, Viral proc acts more like a x2 total damage multiplier than a life cutter like it used to be before it was fixed. Which is still a pretty good proc though.

The proc range is approximately 20-25m, that's as large as a Rhino Stomp or Nyx's Chaos without mods.
