What is Corruption?
Corruption is a new system of power progression which replaces Titanforging; instead of item level bonuses, they will now have a chance to be Corrupted by the Old Gods, represented by the purple-colored stat which adds both a positive effect and stacking negative attribute which incurs penalties at various thresholds. Although the negative effects can reach a point at which they become debilitating, carefully managing the bonuses and penalties allows for a great deal of customization and individual power gain.
Corrupted gear can be freely cleansed by MOTHER in order to remove both effects and revert them back into normal items. Corruption can also be added on non-corrupted items, by purchasing
Preserved Contaminants with MOTHER
. Corruption resistance can also be gained over time, both from new minor essences, and the legendary cloak
, allowing more corrupted effects to be worn. For more information on all potential Corruptions, see our
Corruption Overview Guide
.
Buying Corruptions with Echoes of Ny'alotha for Spec Class
What Corruptions should I Buy from MOTHER on a Spec Class?
Corruptions now can be
purchased from MOTHER
using
. Every few days, at the same time minor assaults reset, a new set of Corruptions will be accessible.
In place of a list, the only real corruption you should ever consider dumping a large amount of echoes of Ny'alotha on is Expedient pieces. Affliction damage scales astronomically with haste levels, in addition to having a permanent haste rating increase in Cascading Calamity. Realistically, you should look to save all of your available Echoes of Ny'alotha for Expedient 3 (which at the time of writing is in the first set of corruptions available to purchase, and likely will be unavailable for another 4 weeks), but if your guild is progression at the current time and you need a power boost now buying Expedient 1 or 2s is worthwhile.
Best Affliction Warlock Corruption Bonuses
We have comparative simulations for each of the various Corruption affixes which can roll on gear, courtesy of SimulationCraft and Bloodmallet. While this overview should give you a good general idea of how each compare to one another, your specific character may see slightly different results based on how you are geared and what Corruptions are available to you; you can create your own comparisons as well as combinations of different essences you have unlocked on your character using
Raidbots
Top Gear function. If you are not already familiar with Raidbots and how to use it, take a look at our
How To Guide
. When looking at corruption effects it is important not to look at the overall power of a given effect, but at how much power per corruption is gained while staying below your safe threshold. By using Top Gear, you can play with the Max Corruption bar, allowing you to maximize your damage based on your Corruption risk choices.
This is simply an overview and doesn't take into account the negative effects of stacking Corruption. While increasing Corruption will continually increase player power, it comes at the cost of serious side effects, which may be debilitating in some activities or encounters. Reference the Corruption Effect notes and recommendations below to see how your spec can best take advantage of these bonuses and deal with the detriments.
Please also note that when using more than one of the same corruption, even different tiers of the same corruption, the effect/benefit (damage, statistical gains, etc) stack while durations and proc rates remain unchanged. The only exception is
, unique to the Ny'alotha raid weapon
, which will proc independently when dual wielded.

Best Effects
- Mastery rating proc. Easy; mastery is one of our best two stats, and this gives a lot of it. This also becomes exponentially better with extra targets.
- Haste rating proc. Once again, one of our best two stats. On top of this, the flat haste rating also adds to the stats that can potentially be increased by
.
- The percentage haste scaling also applies to
, on top of our passive haste which is already a great stat for affliction. The benefits for haste vastly outweigh any other flat % increase bonus.
Good Effects
- An extra damage source, which is also increased by the 10% damage increases from both
and
. Realistically, this trait is only something you'll want to look at for single target damage. Otherwise, you'll never realize the full potential of the stacking damage mechanic on multiple targets, and your corruption could be better used on other bonuses.
Bad Effects
Surprisingly, any stat effect that doesnt have to do with any of the three mentioned above are vastly inferior damage increases. Even
, historically known for being good for every class, pales in comparison in terms of default damage upgrades to affliction. I would only really consider using any other stat procs if I have some free amount of corruption available to be used before reaching a theoretical soft-cap, otherwise the benefits are quite neglibible (<1% per corruption trait).
It's important to note that affliction's wants from corruption don't really change too much depending on target availability. Like usual, mastery becomes higher weighted the more targets there are, but nothing changes much outside of that.
Best Affliction Warlock Ny'alotha Weapons
Besides random corruption effects, weapons from the new Ny'alotha raid also have exclusive effects on them, which can be quite powerful. Similar to random corruption effects, if you obtain a weapon with a subpar effect, you can always cleanse it. As an Affliction Warlock, you can obtain weapons with the following effects:
always comes with
- Talked about in the previous section, this corruption is incredibly good for single target encounters, but also comes at a heavy corruption cost. Likely cleansed for early progression purposes in favor of multiple stat corruptions.
always comes with
- Again, likely cleansed in favor of other stat corruptions. The only scenario I see this corruption being used is in a hypothetical scenario where you want to get Summon Darkglare's cooldown down to 2 minutes to use on cooldown with Dark Soul.
Dealing with Negative Effects of Corruption
In addition to the bonuses, corrupted items also increase the Corrupted stat by varying amounts based on the tier of the effect. Corruption stat incurs penalties that the player must deal with, and while these effects start out rather benign, they quickly ramp up in both potency and impact, to the point where it can be very hard to deal with during a Dungeon or Raid encounter, and even become outright debilitating at the highest levels.
There are five effects unlocked at different total corruption levels:
- Unlocked with 1 Corruption
- Unlocked with 20 Corruption
- Unlocked with 40 Corruption
- Unlocked with 60 Corruption
- Unlocked with 80 Corruption
Learn more about Corruption in our in-depth guide!
At Rank 6, the legendary Cloak
gains an on-use effect which will remove and immune all currently active negative corruption effects.
- Not really a concern for warlocks, since if we're in a scenario where we need to move but can't,
essentially removes all snares.
is an interesting one. Warlocks generally don't like moving, but we do have a tool that can be used to play around this effect if you're planning ahead. Placing a
in preparation for this corruption effect to go off would help, but can also lead to bad positioning.
- Again, you can probably game this mechanic with
, but you should consider not getting this much corruption to begin with.
- Stop.
How Much Corruption Should an Affliction Warlock Take?
There are many numbers being floated around, but the general gist of the situation is that you're going to use as much corruption gear as possible without causing a greater risk of dying to your character. Most high end raiders are thinking about only staying below 40 Corruption without going over, since that corruption effect seems to be the first that has a seriously deadly effect. However, there might be at some point along the line where you realize you can take even more corruption without too much risk. Play around with your gear, see what you can get away with.
