Guild Wars 2

I like the idea of self-harming in order to do something worse to foes. It brings back some of the GW1 flavor.

But as lots of people have already mentioned, adding 2 conditions to yourself to cast a corruption skill, most of which are long-casting and very telegraphed moves, sounds like it is going to be suicidal in PVP. There are way too many knockdowns, stuns, etc., and opponents are going to take the casting of corruption skill as a cue to blast the nec into oblivion.

How about giving Master of Corruption 1 second of stability after using a corruption skill? This will give the nec a chance to transfer the adding self-conditions. And it would still have some counterplay with blocks, evades, dodges, blinds, and invulnerabilities.

1 second? lol. 3 seconds sounds better

You are correct sir. I didn’t want to sound greedy though.

Keeping CC as it is now would be better too.

I’d rather have 2 seconds of resistance to be perfectly honest. That’d give us a small time window in which we could transfer the crap without taking the negative effects, and it would reduce the sacrifice if not transferring.

Also, we are Necros, we don’t get STAB cause that might just make us good if the devs aren’t careful!

Stability would be worthless. Resistance would make the trait okay, but honestly they need to fix Corruptions before anything, and more likely than not it needs to be an adept at its current use instead of a master, because its really unlikely it can compete.

Just give me a buff/status effect that negates boons effect for it’s duration on corruptions effects so my foes can feel their corrupted body slowly withering away.

There is no such thing as a corruption build of no corruption stun breaks.
