so what do people find more useful a bigger corrupt with a longer cooldown or a smaller corrupt with a smaller cd.
In my opinion there are other issues with corrupt boon but i would like to focus on this topic and gather the community opinion on what they find useful

The bigger corrupt with a longer cooldown is obviously better atleast for spvp since it makes it more likely that the important boons (resistance, stability etc.) gets removed.

No, this change would stop our best way to counter mally revs with a condi build so I disagree entirely.

If I were to make any change to CB, I’d drop its CD by quite a bit, but give it a more significant cost. But the last thing I’d ever do is drop how many boons it removes, its really important that it hits a lot at once in order to function as a burst tool like it currently does.

I dunno, cuz reducing its CD could be nice if you couple it with Path of Corruption…
but the way it is now, if you land it well it completely demolishes boon-heavy targets from 1200 distance, and if it was only 3 boons you’d lose this burst.

I think what’s keeping Corrupt Boon from having a lower cooldown is Master of Corruption trait…. which is kinda dumb cuz I don’t think anyone even takes that… not to mention the self-damage is insane. No one in their right mind would waste Putrid Mark or Plague Signet just because they used a utility… >.> and if you don’t have those transfers up you’re kittened.

They should completely change Master of Corruption so they can reduce Consume Conditions by 5 secs and Corrupt Boon by a nice amount too :P

I agree that is why i find shorter cd but more frequent corrupt to be better because if you need a larger corrupt you can always combine skills to get the results you need.
In PvE I find where boon removal are useful it is around a 20-30 sec interval with little need for a large burst oft removal.

Corrupt Boon going back to Vanilla form with full corruption would be decent. Dropping it’s number of corrupts and cooldown would make it just crappy version of signet.

yeah was gonna say, it’ll become a crappier version of signets heh. No go.
