learn to play issue

I had few issues with Corrupted blood buff when I reached end of Merciless and began to farm Piety, Dominus and lvl66 maps.

I was using Static strike Scion dual-wielding very fast weapons, 2.0+, which could result in very high stacks nearly immediately upon hitting the mob. I have upgraded my gear and rolled proper flasks so this is less of an issues now. My current flask setup has 2 flask that remove bleed, 1 is Surgeon's health pot and the other is Ruby flask (this one is important since the imunity last for the whole duration of flask unlike HP pot).

I also dislike the fact how disparate can the effect of corrupted blood be. I could have 6 stacks at one time without any issues while other time 6 stacks would result in a 1.5k hp/sec decay that my flasks could not cope with. I think this part of corrupted blood mechanic is too inconsistent.

Ideally, corrupted blood stacks would be capped and also its damage would be normalized to avoid those "oops" moments from time to time.

It's good since it actually makes you do atleast something occasionaly

This. It used to be much worse (like storm caller), now it's manageable. It's ok that some builds have weaknesses. It's even better if all builds have some weaknesses.

Just wait and see if they add BL mods to the core game, then you can fight CB+Corrupted Bloodline at the same time!!!!
20 stacks for all!!!

:D

Atleast there is one thing that the good old armour does best...maybe you guys need to keep shield with high AR in tthe swap?

+ pay attention to what you're doing = corrupting blood isn't a problem

You actually have to pay attention to the mods on a rare enemy in this game, btw...

Its damage scales with the attack damage of the mob that gave it to you. So if you get it from a mob with slow swing timer but high attack damage, it hurts a lot.

Anyway, CB is more than fine now with the immunity from flasks since last patch. It was close to impossible handle some CB mobs in high level maps with builds like Incinerator even if you saw the CB from far away but is fine now.

With the recent changes to potions Corrupted Blood is supereasy since potions actually provideimmunity to it for the whole flask effect.

Staunching has always prevented bleed. Freeze, shock and ignite was added with recent changes. Still, yes CB should not be too big of an issue. Extra life rock guys on a vulnerability map, ok that might be bad for the really fast attacking builds if don't notice in time.
