I’m leveling a new Necro focused on Scepter and condition damage. Still low level, but utility-wise I’m interested on trying corruptions, specially Epidemic and CPC for their AoE. I’m getting Curses as my first trait line.

My problem right now is I’m having a hard time to understand the benefit of Master of Corruption, and how exactly to use it.. So, every time I cast a corruption I have to trust a Plague Sending proc, or use off-hand dagger to get rid of my conditions? Should I also get Plague Signet?

Is Master of Corruption really worth the effort?

Master of corruption and corruptions in itself are a point of discussion within the necro community. Personnally I consider MoC as conceptually flawed since your base self inflict gets a cooldown reduction plus on top of that an extra condition. Pro MoC consider good since you have an extra condition to transfer. Either way for pve it is the best we got.
As it is now and considering your situation, I would say: it depends. If you don’t need to dodge too much and have little crit chance you don’t really need to transfer anything since scepter is a poor power weapon and with no crits glancing blows have little meaning.
Otherwise you might invest in extra transfers/cleanses, plague signet is good candidate after dagger #4 due to being a the lowest cooldown utility cleanse but it can’t keep up with the traited corruptions even traited so you will lose some efficiency of MoC (the same for dagger offhand), plague sending your self inflicted conditions might not be a good idea since glancing blows from weakness means less crits. It still have use as an extra condition clear since your others are used to remove the self inflicted ones. But yeah keeping the transfer to use after using your corruption skill is the base of this playstyle.

Personally, I’m still salty that Warrior is the only class that uses Axe the proper way.

I want to cleave things. Why am I waving the air like a english-man slap?
