[edit] Talent improvement
Improved Corruption will lower the cast time of Corruption to become an instant cast spell at max rank.
The Nightfall talent depends on Corruption.
Shadow Mastery will increase damage dealt by Corruption by 10% at max rank, Contagion by 5%, and Demonic Knowledge will increase damage depending on the pet you currently have out. Empowered Corruption increases the bonus damage coefficient from your spell damage bonus by 12% per point, up to 130% at max rank.
Corruption is an Affliction spell, and thus gains the benefits of Suppression, Improved Drain Soul, and Grim Reach talents.
[edit] Tips and tactics
- Corruption can be cast with target behind you, so when specced for instant cast it can be a useful spell to cast while running away from the target.
