Angry Diplomat, exemplifying why Corruptors are awesome posted:

Saw this, rolled up a throwaway Higher Corruptor named Veronica Skullblood with the intention of randomly dicking around to get a feel for the class before dying a stupid death somewhere. Oh my Goooooooood why have I never played this amazing goddamn class before:stare:

I am pretty much a walking Bubonic Plague. Everything I can't immediately kill with my two lovely projectile spells and ridiculous blood shockwave, I infect with every disease that ever existed, then atomize to motherfuck and back with Catalepsy (holy poo poo that spell is insane). If it's a group situation, I use Cyst Burst first and then Blood Spray to give a ridiculous fuckload of diseases to everything present, then use Catalepsy. If I need dudes to sit still while I cast Summon Dire Herpes on them, I hit them with Pacification to make them incapable of doing much of anything for roughly infinity years. If my enemies are immune to diseases and Blight damage, welp, Vimsense and Epidemic will fix that. There is literally nothing my mystical smallpox cannot kill.

Also I roll with Overkill active, so anything that dies to the Acatalypse produces a nova that hits everything nearby with a portion of the overflow damage. Every single fight is just a hilarious facemelting clusterfuck of ludicrously excessive Blight damage, with dudes withering away in seconds and then suddenly exploding for no reason because I infected everyone with nuclear influenza.

I got an Injured Seer escort on Wrathroot's level, ran into Wrathroot and three rare monsters, and still saved that fukken Seer:black101: I did die once, but that was to some absurd bullshit rare hornet that used a life feeding thing and a bunch of buffs to unblockably steal like 70 health per round from me or something idiotic like that while also dealing 100+ damage per hit; when I fought Wrathroot itself, I mowed that motherfucker down with nary a gently caress given.

This class is basically Alchemist, except you replace the golem with the ability to turn into a demon ghost in Hell, your bombs inflict AIDS damage and you make them out of people instead of gems, and instead of imbuing items with magic you get to imbue people with Turbo Ebola. Corruptor is a goddamn riot to play, and anyone who hasn't tried it really should.

Having made my point (or rather, having had my point made by someone else), I vote for Higher Corruptor.

Even if the power reduction is applied to all the damage, Sawrd still at least doubles your damage input (I'm pretty sure flat on hit bonuses are untouched by the damage formula) and quadruples your chance of on-hit procs, no questions asked. That's disgustingly powerful any way you look at it.
