Gils posted:I find it odd that in all the love Corruptors get, no one ever talks about their best ability- the power to challenge someone to a duel in the Shadow Realm. Shadowflame is kinda awkward early on because every thing in it is so damned expensive. That and if I want to annihilate a boss I'll start putting points in Catalepsy and don't even have to blow a cat point for it. There's very few things that can survive epidemic->vd->blood spray->catalepsy, and the ones that can won't like it once vimsense and curse of vulnerability get involved. Hell, if I had a stray cat point later I'd probably just toss it on blood because every skill in that tree scales ridiculously and that guide saying that you can't use blood boil from a distance is a loving idiot or never bothered to put more than one point in it. dis astranagant fucked around with this message at 22:15 on Jan 25, 2014 |

If you're itching for a fight kill one and only one of them then wait out the timer that comes up. You'll get an achievement and a sweet hat if you win.

Each cultist you kill after the first weakens the boss and the resulting hat.

Starslinger from the same addon is loving bullshit and no one should play them. If you insist on trying prepare to be married to the shadow shot key because that's the only skill you have that doesn't break stealth and it's a long way til unseen actions.

ChibiSoma posted:I really wish someone was doing an informative video series. If not on the game as a whole then on specific characters. I know the wiki has some guides, but (last I checked, anyway) they were all short and not great and just sort of go "Put points here, not here. Now do this" without getting into the why of it. I want to see someone play, see why things work and why others don't, and how you should tackle things so you don't get overwhelmed. Non-Cornac Cursed is terrible. Put your first cat point in Rampage, max the Rampage skill then put one point in pretty much every other class skill til you get Surge unlocked and max that. Then go back and max the Rampage passives and start putting points in murdervision, blindside, sanctuary, and predator to taste. Generics go in the second skill on Cursed Form and various Combat Training skills (max thick skin, combat accuracy and weapon mastery, get armor mastery to level 3) and put the rest in antimagic and fungus skills once you get those unlocked.

The problem with Reavers is that they give up the Corruptor's best trees for the privilege of getting up in people's faces with no added survivability. You have no crowd control to speak of, you hit for 3-4 different elements on a regular basis and you still have all the Corruptor's cooldown issues because everything in Corruption/Scourge takes forever to cooldown. You CAN get a goofy build going with staff combat and a pair of short staves so that you might actually have the stats to make the actual spells worth casting but you're probably not going to have the money or the equipment til Dreadfell or so. dis astranagant fucked around with this message at 12:20 on Jan 26, 2014 |

Oh, actually the dual shortstaff build isn't that goofy because you have no use for mana otherwise and channel staff shoots both staves if you have 2 and doesn't have a cooldown. And then you get your free bonks from corrupted strength. So I'd just about call staff combat a requirement now.

Oh, it doesn't actually shoot both, I just lost track in the rain of numbers. You do still get the blight damage, spellpower and spell crit bonuses from both of them cranking up your damage to stupid levels, at least. Blunt Thrust, however, does bonk with both staves before getting the free bonks from corrupted strength. Now if only I had a GWF ring. dis astranagant fucked around with this message at 14:07 on Jan 26, 2014 |

Eh, they can get pretty close while nuking a whole room. Having bloodspray to get the diseases started makes all the difference. Take the right prodigies and corruptors have a legit chance at killing training dummies.

Corruption/Hexes is a one point wonder tree. I don't think I've ever given it more than the traditional one point in pacification hex, which I then constantly forget I have when I need it.

If I were to rework grapple I'd make size differences into a modifier on damage/physpower/duration rather than completely shutting you down for being too small to grab on to the dragon. Nasty hobbitses still wouldn't want to chokeslam people but at least they'd have the option.

Well, I meant for the generic grabs in the current tree. A bigger meatshield might be tougher and more likely to block an attack but its also going to have an easier time getting away from you. If you stack a couple +size items you'll keep him under control longer but more attacks might get by him.

Taking the point out of Death Dance isn't a great idea because the next skill in the tree is pretty much the reason you're playing a berserker. Putting more that one point in Death Dance is probably a mistake but Berserk is some ridiculously good poo poo. Warcry is also pretty handy.

It's a locked tree for Corruptors. It's pretty cool but the range sucks and you're burning 180 vim to sustain it plus another 5 per turn. You're really not gonna get much out of it until pretty late, especially with all the other cool sustains you probably had up.

Anniversary posted:Using the mobile app so can't quote the other relevant post but thanks to everyone for the help! Drain costs nothing and restores 20% of its damage in vim. This doesn't sound like much but you'll start doing 1k+ damage with it before long and that'll pretty much top off your vim. Willpower has a slight bonus to your vim gain per kill but I wouldn't call it enough of one to actively seek out will. As for items, you want spell crit, crit mult, spellpower, blight damage and vim on spell crit. max vim might come in handy maybe but it tends to come in tiny amounts. Don't skimp on defensive bonuses, your skills won't help you much there other than blowing things up before they get to do anything.

It's a level 49 Mindslayer version of those giant Spike Golems of Urh'Rok. 6k HP in the Old Forest, easily able to one-shot me. If you had a disease build and it wasn't heavily resistant to blight you probably could have won. Catalepsy is the undisputed king of completely ridiculous overkill.

You pick up celestial/light and technique/conditioning and shovel generics into them. Going 1/1/1/5 curses isn't a bad idea eventually.

And once you get Corruptor unlocked you can just dump corrupted negation on his bitch rear end and laugh as he spends half the fight running away trying to put his sustains back up.

There really isn't a clear answer. You either have lovely spells that work all the time or strong ones that lay down on the job. How much you plan on investing in willpower is also a factor, since you can get away with more paradox if you have really high will.

Klaus Kinski posted:No, not really. It's mostly a (kinda boring) set up for a broken build in the mid-late game. Just pick anything that hurts when you hit with it or anything that boosts blight damage and it's perfectly fine for winning on normal. Classes with good aoe burst damage don't give a poo poo about oozemancers other than the fact that they usually pack manaclash.

Shield is honestly probably the preferred build because assault hits about as many times as flurry and you don't have to split your stats as much.
