From a PvE standpoint (raid/m+) and to your experience, what level of corruption is viable so you can perform without too much distraction or dying all the time?
I am currently testing a level 2 corruption setup (eye of corruption) and it seems to proc pretty often. And while it’s all good while soloing dailies, I haven’t yet tested it in instances. Dps increase is very substantial but I’m afraid it won’t work well while having to avoid punishing instance mechanics.
from a healers perspective dps with lvl 2 corruption are fine in raids/dungeons they need little help the average player rocking 3 plus tend to take allot more healing and spike in dmg allot causing them to just outright die if other mechanics are going on but I also raid and do mplus with dps who rock lvl 3 and 4 and handle it well mostly comes down to player ability
What he said. Eyeball doesn’t do a ton of damage, stand in it for a bit or stutter-step out if you need to. Thing from Beyond does like 30-40% of your health if he catches you though (at least that’s been my experience). Not worth dying during progression over.
Less than 40 corruption after resistances is good to staying alive during progression, after that if you want to do seppuku thats your choice.
As above, with resistance, keeping it below 40 (35-39) is your best bet. While you could push it further, the effects can be inconvenient, and lead to lost does from avoiding it’s own mechanics past the <40 zone.
The thing from beyond isn’t too bad. Mortal coil will break the fixate and instantly make it despawn. The main problem I’ve seen with high corruption is the increased radius of the eyeball. It becomes very difficult to escape it without getting the slow as well. Throw in the fact that the eyeball’s damage also grows with corruption and we end up with a certain someone on my raid team who constantly upsets the healers.
Giving some feedback of my own as I’ve tested my lvl 2 corruption gear in a few M+. The eye procs very often, almost every pull I’d say and at least a couple of times during boss fights. Nevertheless, at my lvl of corruption (46 after resistance), it’s a minor discomfort as it doesn’t do a whole lot of damage and its range is rather short. Things are harder if both the eye and slow effect proc together but then I just use the cloak’s ability.
As a warlock that doesn’t like and never takes burning rush though, I don’t think I want to increase my corruption any further.
Just throwing this in here because I didnt see it yet, you can banish the TFB, create a simple mouse over banish macro and GG. However in a heavy raid fight this can be tricky and I have found tabbing to it can be easier so have it bound to a key as well, you can also be a boss player and immolate or Agony that bad boy for resources…just remember to run away!!!
I’m running 45 total corruption, but have run 65, its tricky but can be done, at that level however, you CANNOT LET IT CATCH YOU OR YOU’RE DEAD
You can also fear it, which I do often hah. I actually love fearing it since it’s more of a slap in it’s face, like “No, you run from ME, nuance!” Haha
