My corrupted bro, congrats on finishing a masterpiece of this guide. It’s good enough to be published as a book, and also took me days getting through it.
EVERYTHING has been covered. Not a single thing can be added to it.

Inspired by it, I recently picked up corruption build once again and discovered, whereas I was not incorrect last time about the damage calculation, I neglected a crucial fact about corruption build -
the ability to wield Blackheart weapons
Last time, the two test subjects are both wielding the same weapon: Hanuman’s Gada. But in reality, nobody is using that 50kg hammer. Too heavy. The reality is,

  • a 75dmg legendary hammer for the normal build
  • the 95dmg Blackheart hammer for the corrupted build

And that makes a HUGE difference. According to my latest tests, one heavy swing by the Blackheart hammer in the corrupted build yield 73% more damage than its counterpart, as in 200~270 more dmg depending on enemy’s armor. This is really remarkable, almost makes the sacrifice in hp and stamina worth it (I’d expect 100% dmg increase tho).
However one must not forget, such outcome can only be carried out by having:

  • max str + full abysal armor + blackheart hammer altogether

any other weapon or any build that goes for other traits instead of max str and you will immediately feel less powerful.

This particular build should be quite viable in PVP, since 2 hits is all it takes to kill anything (but of course, you know how it works!)
I will stick to this build for a while. Currently I just got one issue - every time I log in my abysal armor is down to 8min left, making me doing some meaningless slaughtering in the hurry. That happens to you also?
