Corruption ticks has a chance to proc nightfall if you have invested getting this talent.

Kommentar von 108804

can this stack with unstable affliction?
or UA is also considered corruption spell?

Kommentar von 73011

Does anyone know the % benefit from spell damage this gets? I've heard anywhere from 70%-130%. Any hard data?

Kommentar von Sherkrieg

Btw, wat the hell is that icon suppose to be lol, in all the years I have played locks I can never see what it is O_o.

Not sure why Samarium was voted down. It does look like a Murloc face spewing blood.

You cant have this spell and Seed of Corruption on the same target (from one warlock) at the same time :)

Kommentar von 156935

this spell and curse of agony is very annoying when your the victim :{

An absolute MUST for the grinding Warlock!

When farming it's wisest to let your pet kill a diffrent mob than you're atacking. But, when you didn't touch the monster your pet is pulverising (or getting pulverised by), you will not gain XP nor get the chance to loot!

Simply pop up your corruption (let your pet aggro first!), then let your little minion plumb them! Meanwhile you can kill something else.

2 kills for the time of 1.

In our universe, where time is money (gold?) you will earn moar in less time!

There's supposedly a new ability (currently marked to be the final Affliction talent, like UA is now) coming out in WotLK called "Haunt" that works kind of like a mix between Drain Life and a Shaman's Chain Lightning.
The description as stated from http://wotlkwiki.info/index.php/Warlock :

"You send a corrupted soul into the target, doing 800 damage over 2 sec. Haunt will continue to travel between targets who suffer from your Corruption spell. After traveling from up to three targets, the corrupted soul will return to you, healing you for 50% of the total damage done.
(1 Rank, 650 Mana, Instant, 30 sec Cooldown, 40 yd Range)"

Corruption's gonna be a LOT more useful in the expansion with this spell (not that it wasn't already good).

Hopefully they decide to leave this spell in when WotLK is released, and they decide to LEAVE IT ALONE.

"14% of base mana" seems very expensive. How much mana is this really?

And now its gettin even bettahhhh - 3.1 change to SL & Corr:

"Siphon Life no longer as an active ability but the talent grants the old Siphon Life effect to Corruption."

Whatta spell....

Kommentar von 328833

"The Siphon Life spell has been removed. Siphon Life now causes your Corruption spell to instantly heal you for 40% of the damage done."

So basically what this is saying is, no they didn't nerf the 700 a tick siphon life down to 400, but instead 700 down to ZERO. YAY, OFCOURSE, how could blizzard live without nerfing the lowest dps class in the game right now and buffing the highest dps classes. And to think I ever imagined they would give warlocks something nice for a change... yay time to put my warlock back in the garage and lvling a pally.

Also For All those DPS freaks that love to test DPS on Dummies:

this Spell is by far the most Efficcient to test a weapon u just picked up, just cast a Corruption cast on a dot and see the DMG, let it run then equip ur new weapon and cast Corruption, which ever wep inc ur DoT's will inc ur DPS (hard to test with CoA cuz of different ticks, same with nukes how the get affected by Crits)

Corruption ticks will always tick the same or 1 or 2 more/less dmge there for its ez to see ur SP increase/decrease.

Kommentar von 385619

I have no idea why there is all this QQ. I think this is a GREAT change. Now I don't even have to cast Siphon Life to get even more life drain off an opponent. Especially in bgs. Corruption spam on about 5 enemies combined with Nightfall. Thats ALOT of easy healing and free shadow bolts.

those shadowbolts aren't free you know.

whats the spell power coefficient on this?

Kommentar von 417037

I've never found it to be long enough T_T

Kommentar von 165543

once you reach lvl 4 and get this ability there's no looking back 10dmg per 3 seconds is alot in a starting zone

Kommentar von Valer

Can anyone tell me how much damage this does per tick in descent gear?

Kommentar von lmh86

Disturbing icon.

Kommentar von matornot

Refreshes with every Drain Soul, Drain Life, and Haunt due to Everlasting Affliction. Now that every refresh takes into account spellpower and haste at that point in time, you can't just cast Corruption when your trinket procs, but a valid game mechanic is crit rating sticking from the original cast, so popping Nevermelting Ice Crystal before your initial Corruption with guarantee an extra 20.04% crit chance on every Corruption crit for the remainder of the fight, assuming you don't let it fall off before your 3 min trinket is ready again. In fact Elitist Jerks declares Nevermelting Ice Crystal as the 3rd best Affliction trinket in the game, above 258 Reign, 264 Muradin's Spyglass and 264 Phylactery. 1337!(##RESPBREAK##)8##DELIM##Kangi##DELIM##

Super effective against politicians.

Icon looks like a Murloc firin' his lazors

Kommentar von Thottbot

With talents this can become an instant cast, really useful especially in pvp.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Only if you spec to a high Desto. build and nightfall to boost.
The lower level allows for nightfall and slaps a DoT on annoying rogues. Besides, you don't depend on the DoT damage in you spec heavy into you Direct Damage Spells, a la Shadow Bolt, Shadow Burn.
Thats my 2 cents.

Kommentar von Thottbot

No, the point of this spell is to be a quick DOT. Especially quick if you get it to instant cast with talents. Why use the lowest rank of the spell when the highest one gives much more damage?

Kommentar von Thottbot

That's hitting the nail on the head.It's nice because you can have immolate+curse of agony+corruption on a beast/demon etc. and have them feared before they can even touch you. In BG it's usefull to be able to do this while running after someone.

Kommentar von Thottbot

god...this skill is soooo useful! XD

CoA+Immolate+Cor+Minion+Drain whatever= ^^ slow death FTW!

the best part is that theres ALMOST nothing you can do to prevent the damage! ^^

Kommentar von Thottbot

Did I hear right? 'It's not worth putting all five points into'? It has been pointed out that insta cast makes it so you can move while casting, huge in pvp, and great if you want to buy a little more time for your dots to sap, since you can back away while insta casting.

1.5 sec cast is the same as cooldown? so what? insta cast means that you will tick 1.5 seconds SOONER, which means your damage comes sooner. With dots, time is EVERYTHING. The sooner your first tick comes, the better.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Go 5/5 if your going full affliction, because theres some useless talents in the lower tiers, and it's better to talent this than something like improved curse of weakness

Kommentar von Thottbot

I'm a 70 destruction/afflicion warlock. The affliction tree is where most of my damage comes from. to say that affliction spells suck because they take so long to kill them, i shoul just slap you now. do you have any idea why warlocks have DoT's, Why warlocks have FEAR, and Why, oh god, WHY! do warlocks have high stamina instead of intellect.

Well let me tell you. Warlocks can have about 5 to 6 instant cast spells in thier arsenal. That means you can cast while moving, cast while running backwards, cast with your eyes closed WHATEVER!. What that means is that you can do this

cast corruption, siphon life, curse of agony
switch target

cast corruption, siphon life, curse of agony
switch target

cast corruption, siphon life, curse of agony
switch target

cast corruption, siphon life, curse of agony
switch target

now that you have your dots on those people, or baddies, what you can do is start using those things i like to call "Torcher spells" which means :

Immolate,incinerate, conflagrate

I'm a 30/0/31 spec warlock.

Which means my arsenal is full of instant casts, and i can dominate anyone at a moments glance. Most warlocks thing they are gods, in truth, all they do is strike "FEAR" into the hearts of men. Did you not notice that i dont use fear, yes its true, i dont. To most warlocks, it sounds obsurd, but let me ask you this, would you rather spend 200 mana fearing them, which could break at any moment due to dots" or would you rather stack affliction affects and use drain life.

one of the main reasons i dont use fear is because of its inability to be trustworthy. It could break at a moments glance. and id rather not spend the 1.5 seconds casting a spell that could just get broken anyway.

So what i do. Is exactly what warlocks should do. kill MULTIPLE TARGETS. thats what warlocks are for... notice the first part of thier name "WAR" they are meant to be in battle. You wont see a warlock standing back in the battle casting greater heal..... oh no, a warlock should be in the middle of the battle causing as much havoc and destruction as he can. a warlock thats in the middle of the battle jumping around casting instant casts is less likely to get killed then standing in the back where he can easily be picked off by mages and hunters.

a warlock in the middle of a battle is hard to find as well be cause the only thing you see on your screen are dots, but they the time you find the warlock he already has immolate on you, you decide its time to end this, so you finish the little guy of with an instant shadowbolt ( due to the fact that you should be spamming corruption so nightfall can proc like a $%^&*),an instant shadowburn, and another instant cast known as conflagrate. GG. Warlocks are not the most overpowered class just because they have fear

warlocks are the most overpowered class because thier capacity to stay alive in the fray of a battle. you ever notice how hard it is to kill a warlock while he fears, at least you can die saying "well he feared me, nothing i can do to fight it"
imagine dieing by a warlock when all he uses is instant casts, and hes right beside you..... i dare you to say he feared me... i dare you, but if you did i wouldnt blame you, a warlock in your face is scary....

let me let you in on a little secret...... USE TRINKETS, UCE RACIAL ABILITIES ( if your undead at least) there are so many ways to get out of fear is rediculous.

warlocks may be the most overpowered class in the game. but, they are clothies, and if you think warlocks are overpowered, wait till deathknights come out.... oh boy....i cant wait to post next.

Kommentar von Thottbot

.... your an idiot

A) corruption doesnt heal you and

B)you can put other damaging spells on the....badies such as curse of agony and siphen life.....unstable affliction is another theres tons lol

Kommentar von Thottbot

Corruption is your best friend on the BGs (well..on top of fear, curse of ex, curse of tongues, and every other spell in the warlocks arsenal). The thing is, this one ticks the hardest. Corruption is the hardest ticking dot in the warlock arsenal. Curse of agony doesnt tick as hard for the last tick as corruption does for every single tick. However, its damage is less than curse of agony and its duration is less than 1/2 that of agony. This makes it an awesome dot to hit the opponent with if they are going to die soon or you just want to deal some quick damage. If you get empowered corruption, it can actually overtake every other dot a warlock has. AND IT CAN BE AN INSTANT CAST! :o
Usually, this is how i dot mobs.
Siphon life, curse of agony, unstable affliction, corruption.
If its 2 mobs, do the above 4 to one mob and siphon life corruption to the other.

If i go into the BGs, if im going to die, i toss corruption on everyone around.
