What is Corruption?
Corruption is a new system of power progression which replaces Titanforging; instead of item level bonuses, they will now have a chance to be Corrupted by the Old Gods, represented by the purple-colored stat which adds both a positive effect and stacking negative attribute which incurs penalties at various thresholds. Although the negative effects can reach a point at which they become debilitating, carefully managing the bonuses and penalties allows for a great deal of customization and individual power gain.
Corrupted gear can be freely cleansed by MOTHER in order to remove both effects and revert them back into normal items. Corruption can also be added on non-corrupted items, by purchasing
Preserved Contaminants with MOTHER
. Corruption resistance can also be gained over time, both from new minor essences, and the legendary cloak
, allowing more corrupted effects to be worn. For more information on all potential Corruptions, see our
Corruption Overview Guide
.
Buying Corruptions with Echoes of Ny'alotha for Spec Class
What Corruptions should I Buy from MOTHER on a Spec Class?
Corruptions now can be
purchased from MOTHER
using
. Every few days, a new set of Corruptions will be accessible.
With that in mind, we present a list of the best corruptions to purchase from MOTHER on Balance Druid.
If you buy secondary stat stuff you should buy R3 otherwise you are losing value!
Raid:
- High rolling IS procs is especially strong on some raid bosses. Goes on a boss by boss basis.
- Is our best secondary stat corruption. Severe is incredibly valuable, and I would pick up a lot if you can.
- Is also really good in tandem with Severe.
- Is incredibly powerful on 485 item level pieces.
My Advice: I would go Infinite Stars + Severe for the Infinite Stars fights. For the non Infinite Stars fights I would wear a significant amount of Severe, a little bit of Strikethrough, then Gushing Wound on your 485 pieces.
M+:
- Really good in some amounts.
- Is also really good in tandem with Expedient.
- Very powerful trait due to its high PPM.
- If you are playing a really high Multi-Target build then Twilight Dev will be better, alternatively I would just play for more Single Target.
My Advice: I would probably run a balance of Honed Mind, Expedient, and Severe. Twilight Dev sets are also going to be good in some dungeons.
Best Balance Druid Corruption Bonuses
We have comparative simulations for each of the various Corruption affixes which can roll on gear, courtesy of SimulationCraft and Bloodmallet. While this overview should give you a good general idea of how each compare to one another, your specific character may see slightly different results based on how you are geared and what Corruptions are available to you; you can create your own comparisons as well as combinations of different essences you have unlocked on your character using
Raidbots
Top Gear function. If you are not already familiar with Raidbots and how to use it, take a look at our
How To Guide
. When looking at corruption effects it is important not to look at the overall power of a given effect, but at how much power per corruption is gained while staying below your safe threshold. By using Top Gear, you can play with the Max Corruption bar, allowing you to maximize your damage based on your Corruption risk choices.
This is simply an overview and doesn't take into account the negative effects of stacking Corruption. While increasing Corruption will continually increase player power, it comes at the cost of serious side effects, which may be debilitating in some activities or encounters. Reference the Corruption Effect notes and recommendations below to see how your spec can best take advantage of these bonuses and deal with the detriments.
Please also note that when using more than one of the same corruption, even different tiers of the same corruption, the effect/benefit (damage, statistical gains, etc) stack while durations and proc rates remain unchanged. The only exception is
, unique to the Ny'alotha raid weapon
, which will proc independently when dual wielded.
Good Effects
- Insane corruption effect currently as it is quite overtuned. Whenever you add any additional targets, it becomes vastly worse though.
- The best passive stat trait as Haste is super valuable for Moonkin.
- Is also really good in tandem with Expedient. A non IS setup should look like 1 value Expedient and a bunch of Severe all at R3.
Bad Effects
- Not very useful, as few Balance abilities have cooldowns in general.
- Maybe this is good in something like M+ where you run
and
.
- Currently has far more corruption relative to the damage it deals.
- ?????? 0 Damage gain
Good Effects
- The best passive stat trait as Haste is super valuable for Moonkin. Mastery will also sim high, but again if you're looking at multi-target and thinking "Dungeons" then you need to reconsider using mastery instead of haste.
- Twilight Devistation is actually pretty solid since it does not split damage. You need to be close to the mobs, but not as close as Echoing Void, but you still need to be within 25 yards and facing the correct direction. Pretty solid trait for AOE.
- Is pretty solid as the proc is fairly over budget other main stat procs. It just is hard to obtain in mass quantities.
Bad Effects
- Stacks up 3 procs per minute and has a 15m debuff. Depends on the amount of targets.
- Splits damage on AOE.
- Not very useful, as few Balance abilities have cooldowns in general.
- Maybe this is good in something like M+ where you run
and
.
- ?????? 0 Damage gain
Ny'alotha Weapons that Automatically Corrupt
always comes with
, which has received buffs to no longer be totally terrible. 35 Corruption is pretty good to be able to budget, and if you can fit it in then maybe the weapon will be an upgrade for you. Void Ritual if ran with 2 other members in your group with it is very good, if not then it is just slightly above average. You can also cleanse the weapon if you do not have budget for it and need the weapon instantly, however that is ill advised (judgement call here). Weapon is decent.
That is the only weapon that automatically corrupts for Moonkin.
Dealing with Negative Effects of Corruption
In addition to the bonuses, corrupted items also increase the Corrupted stat by varying amounts based on the tier of the effect. Corruption stat incurs penalties that the player must deal with, and while these effects start out rather benign, they quickly ramp up in both potency and impact, to the point where it can be very hard to deal with during a Dungeon or Raid encounter, and even become outright debilitating at the highest levels.
There are five effects unlocked at different total corruption levels:
- Unlocked with 1 Corruption
- Unlocked with 20 Corruption
- Unlocked with 40 Corruption
- Unlocked with 60 Corruption
- Unlocked with 80 Corruption
Learn more about Corruption in our in-depth guide!
At Rank 6, the legendary Cloak
gains an on-use effect which will remove and immune all currently active negative corruption effects.
- Shapeshift the debuff if you need to get the slow reduced, otherwise just use
in order to move around.
- Moonkin can just walk out of the circle as long as it is safe or just use
as an off GCD movement ability. There are some fights that are space restrictive, so using
in order to mitigate some of the damage is nice. You should try to quickly get out of the circle ASAP.
- This has a chance to summon a minion that will run at you and try to kill you. HOWEVER, it is CCable, meaning that
,
,
, and
are usable on them. This means that the meta-strategy will just be going to root the Thing From Beyond and let it time out. Moonkin is one of the most adept classes at dealing with this mob. OH BTW YOU CAN ALSO USE
TO GET RID OF THE ADD :). KINGS HONOR FRIEND.
- When the thing from beyond spawns you instantly get slowed. You could potentially shapeshift the slow then use
or
on The Thing From Beyond. This is pretty scary, and I do not know if the loss of globals will generally be worth the gain in corruption. Going over 60 corruption is normally ill-advised.
How Much Corruption Should a Balance Druid Take?
Generally, going over 40 corruption seems very scary as the Thing from Beyond which spawns from
tries to chase you around and blow you up. However, as Balance Druid you can cast
or
on the mob and keep them stationary until they expire, making it possible to go over 40 if you're wary, though I would still advise not going over 60.

Shouldn't have C+Ped the "bad trait" list over. Multi-Target has listed Twilight Devastation as both good and bad.

The table for the corruption effects are listed as if they are for Enhance Shaman. Is it just titled incorrectly, or are the numbers shown for Enhance instead of Balance?

Why is the list of suggested weapons only "this weapon is bad don't use it"?
Could you at least try to elaborate exactly which weapons are good?
Other ones from the raid?
From M+ cache?

I would strongly suggest ignoring the IS advice. IS is terrible, with poor proc rate, very high variance in damage and rapidly losing value if there are any adds nearby, which is nearly every Ny'alotha fight. It does not appear to have any bad luck protection, so you can go extended times with no procs, and potentially never reach 10 stacks on Shad'har.
Note that it doesn't matter what you attack. IS will hit random enemies currently in combat(
not
"in combat with you") and range.
It sims well, but does not hold up in practice.

Hello,
this might be a silly question but when you said " would wear some amount of Expedient (rank 3 - rank 6) " i thought corruption only went up to rank 3, or are you referring to the cloak rank? or do you mean wear 2 x rank 3 for rank 6?
thanks for the guide.
