How are you guys handling corruption gear defects?

Just soloing it feels terrible having to move out of the eye and everything, i'm wondering if it's even worth going past corruption level 1 on a team of 5.

I bet BM hunters would be really good though with that mobility.

I just remove it by talking to "mother".
Got annoyed by it + the visual look change.
Ohwell, mobs die faster than ever, as the gear is a decent upgrade, compared to what i used to be decked out in.

if you get the right corruption effects the dps boost is insane and is way out of control. I've been aiming to have less than 20 corruption overall so I don't get hit with the eye, but the snare is not that big of an issue.

yah 20 seems ideal. I dont think you can even see the eye on your alts either. But the dps boost is insane. It's almost always top dps ability per fight. And the corruption ability that gets better when other people in the party have the same ability could be great for boxers. The eye though, it's bad, but it's not unplayable. I feel that swamp thing guy is far too much damage though, he hurts.

Yup it's all about getting the optimal corruption effect and sit back and watch the damage skyrocket.

Thinking on this further I may try to push for 39 if you have a team that is really strong with passive heals (this is if you need more DPS, but won't work on some difficulty settings). The characters can sometimes sit in the eye but it needs further testing.

I've been really really lucky and my 400ilvl prot paladins each have 1 to 2 pieces of echoing void and/or twilight devastation. I haven't done the cloak quest on them yet so i didnt dare test them today, but i'm thinking that with the insane dps these procs do that i could go full defensive prot pally and just let these items melt everything.

Also, if anyone is having trouble getting corruption pieces, i keep getting drops from world quests 420 ilvl and Normal dungeons.

Same idea as the others for me. I'll keep some of the crazy ones and get rid off the rest that are not as impactful. The slow is annoying, but usually manageable.
