Corruptor Builds?

[vicidius]

Just recently unlocked Corruptors and tried giving them a spin. Their skillset seems pretty powerful!

Blood Fury + Soul Rot + Dark Ritual seems like it would be very powerful.

Any recommendations on useful talents (Looking mostly as Hexes that a newbie like myself would overlook?

Also, I'm wondering if there's any viability in making a Corruptor who ACTUALLY uses primarily damage-over-time spells? Does the damage from disease break daze effects?

Any damage breaks daze.

Corruptors are all about dealing massive damage. I never tried using diseases with them. I usually max out Soul Rot, Drain, and the entire Blood tree asap. I think Dark Portal and Domination Hex are underrated talents.

Ah shoot. Seems like I'm trying to fight an uphill battle when I'm emphasizing the Disease/Damage over time talents.

Dark Portal seems like it would be very useful, what is the biggest deal with Domination Hex? Just being able to take someone out of a fight when fighting multiple people?

If you want to focus on damage-over-time, Reaver is the way to go. I don't think Corruptors can sustain themselves very well while waiting for the damage to take things out.

Plus, I don't think you get a vim refund when something dies from DOT.

I've never used domination hex--I generally play yeeks and just use their racial talent, which seems pretty much the same but free. Dominant Will is amazingly useful though. Instantly take out an enemy, gain a meat shield. It pretty much always lands on luminous horrors and things like necromancer or corruptor orcs in the east. And if you enslave a summoner type, you get their summons as well. I've managed to get rogue minions that way, for instance, which hang around even after your spell is over.

Both talents have their uses. Domination Hex works on everything, except bosses. It affects multiple enemies, and it only relies on spellpower to succeed. Dominant Will doesn't work on elite or undead enemies. And it has a short range, but it lets you fully control the victim and kills them when it's over.
