First off I’ll say I like almost everything that I read about the 3.0 attribute/perk changes, my only concerns are related to sorcery and corruption. My first concern is that sorcery corruption can be cleansed by dancers, so if I spend my time building corruption to improve my sorcerous power, then stumble too close to a dancer, I’ll start to lose some of that power. The only way to protect against dancer purification is by using Soul Essences to corrupt attributes. I’m fine with that, my biggest concern is that only 3 of the 6 attributes can be corrupted, this means that anyone wanting to be a fully corrupted master of sorcery will be forced to max out the same 3 attributes. This leads to a limit in sorcerer variations. Hopefully it will become possible to corrupt the other attributes before the release or at some point soon after. Other than that, I can’t wait to start harvesting souls
There are items that corrupt you instantly to 50%. Easy corruption by just equipping the item.
That will certainly make sorcery a lot easier, thanks for the info.
I was just gonna chug a bunch of corrupting brew if I needed on my future She-Sorceress-of-Seductive-Awesomness.
I want her to be this raging corruption drunkard who yells about her Authority 24/7.
EDIT: LOL my wife points out - “So you want her to be like your ex?”
Corrupting and cleansing brews have been in the game for a long time. I would suggest if you’re worried about accidentally wiping corruption, relocate your dancer to a far corner of your base to visit only when you want to
I have already redesigned my base and built a dancer room, i was more concerned about other dancers (sepermaru for example) i just wasn’t aware that there were so many options for gaining corruption, i never saw any reason to before. But thank you for the advice
I suggest adding a new type of dancer that adds corruption rather than cleansing it.
With dance animations to match, of course.
OMG YES! I second this!
So the “simple” counter to sorcerers who do not use or know about these items in the new update is to run around with a dancer?
Its probably a high damage build, since theyll be corrupted(likely permanently to get the bonuses)
Hopefully this gap can be maybe filled with items, armor, or weapons , maybe?
Adjust undead followers to have a aura of corruption and then emote them to dance if you want.
But is it limiting the sorcery or limiting the type of corrupted people. I mean could you just go for corrupting the perks and not do sorcery? I believe you can. You can be a champion of the otherworld/chaos/old ones,whatever and not be a magic user.
I feel like it will be mostly as you said here, given the cast times and all that it probably wont be beneficial to use spells already in combat, especially not in pvp… i think it will mostly be used as final preparation beforehand and corrupted perks will be used for combat rather than the spells(which you dont have to use)
You can only cleanse up to the point where your corruption stops(perkwise) 4 perks corrupted = permanent 50% corruption
Id like to point out at max corruption, only 4 perks can be corrupted, so you dont necessarily have to use only strength vitality and authority, but i see what you mean by not being able to corrupt grit and agility… if you wanted corruption for the flat damage bonus, your only option is strength which cuts out half the weapon base now that agility governs half the weapon types
I have a feeling that Sorcery, Corruption and everything else that comes with 3.0 will go through continuous changes as the game moves forward, as has been the case with everything before. Whatever happens I’m going to be happy that Sorcery has finally arrived, even if my “slight concerns” turn out to be part of that.
