Wow! Thank you for the compliment! I am your humble servant :) Glad this little primer helped.. more great Conan vids to come!
Authority- irritate is working as intended. You may think your thrall and the enemy are just having a stare down but the reality is your thrall is going through a list of mom jokes until they find the right one to irritate the enemy. You're welcome 😉😂
Now that is the best comment I have ever seen! Bravo!!!
"Yo momma so fat...." wait wait wait, "Yo mama so ugly...." nah, nah hol up..
This is genius
Lol a true I spit at you moment
4:50 Corrupt Strength
8:25 Corrupt Vitality
12:30 Corrupt Authority
Thanks dude! I'll drop this in as chapters for people who want to check back on need to know just one. You are a rockstar!
There is no corrupted agility, grit or expertise? 🤔
Thanks bro! Nice video and you explain it in a way that's easy for everyone to understand. Have liked the video and will follow. Keep up the good work mate!!❤
Glad this video is still helping people! Thanks for the compliments and welcome to the OGs!
Thanks a million brother. I am on my second playthrough and I did not even know there was such a thing as corruption points let alone how to do it. Keep up this great work you are doin here.
@@AngelsPath great to hear that this is still helping people! Thanks for the encouragement!
7:44 but when you corrupt attributes, you LOSE those perks. So you might gain 100 heath from the Robust perk, but you'll lose that perk when you put corruption at 15 in Vitality.
You are correct, if you corrupt an attribute, you lose that attributes perks as you replace them with corrupted perks. What I was trying to point out is that if you are running a corrupted build, corrupting other attributes, beside vitality, the uncorrupted vitality perks can help offset the HP and Stam you lose when say, you totally corrupt Authority or Strength. I should have been more clear on that point. Good catch! :)
The video I was looking for. No nonsense, to the point. Thanks! :)
Awesome! Thanks for the compliment! Happy it could help out
Commanding presence is way stronger than you think. I tested it extensively and it makes a big difference. If your thralls lose less health in battle they won't need as much healing to start off with after a battle.
I tried it out a lot in the test live before full release. Maybe I should go back and take a look to see if its been "remastered" on the current version.
@@OldGamerzNeverDie This works best with agility dagger builds.
This was a great video. Its been 2 years and i came back to conan wow so many changes
And there have been even more with Age of War. Unfortunately, those changes really didnt fit my play style and I have since moved on.. but very glad that this vid helped you out :)
Really useful guide, thanks for taking the time to do this video.
Thanks for the compliment! Really appreciate it!
So I would like to ask for the 1st corrupted perk in Authority:
"Frenzy
... frenzied followers deal 3% increased damage for each corrupted Authority attribute"
My understanding would be that this is per point spent corrupting Authority, not the number of unlocked corrupted perks in Authority.
With 20 points corrupted Authority this would then end up as +60% increased damage for followers.
Think that's an additive increase, not a total multiplier.
Another question would be how long Frenzy state lasts.
*******
Thanks for the big testing Q&A, being late to Sorcery 3.0 here =)
/subbed
My understanding is that Frenzy adds 3% per attribute, not per point corrupted. So the best you will get 15%, not 60+. However, if you have 3 zombies following you (or 4 if you have war party) then that's per follower, so you can chew through most anything with some high damage Zs. I know they have nerfed them significantly, but take a look at my vids featuring The Supremez ( Tinkle, Winkle and Dot, as they were named by the audience). As for how long it lasts? The Wiki steas that it last for 10 secs AFTER the player inflicts initial damage. Hope that helps you out...🙂
Awesome video, straightforward and some really helpful tips, I have a basic understanding of corrupted perks but I was double checking some things. I'm glad I found this video, thanks a lot man. You got a like and subscribe from me, keep up the awesome work, looking forward to seeing your channel grow!
Thank you so much! I'm really glad it helped you out, and I truly appreciate the compliments! More stuff to come!
from what i'm seeing, if you are going to be going to knock out thralls, having your strength corrupted to 19 (Not 20) is pretty good. just don't fully corrupt the strength tree because you will not only damage your thrall you are trying to knock out for increasing your work force of for sacrafices, but also you can technically accidentally hurt yourself with the final corrupted perk if there are no enemies in the immediate area of effect right next to you, so using a bow is pretty risky.
Agreed, I've tried lots of combinations and haven't really found that totally corrupting ANY tree was good for my play style. Others may disagree, and I wouldn't ever say that my play style is the only one out there. 🙂
I think the biggest issue with being corrupted is the stamina reduction not the health reduction personally
Yeah, that weighs on you fast with everything... even just running around. But they have buffed some of the potions and food to offset it. Im hoping to get vids out soon on good ways to get your stam back up.. even if temporarily.
@@OldGamerzNeverDie yeah honestly it has been driving me nuts, still fairly early on in my server and now im stuck with max corruption because i cant find a dancer
@@alixbarwick7992 did you spend points on corruption in your attributes? If you did, the only way to cleanse is to do I mind wipe, with some of the potions. Easiest one to get is yellow lotus potion, but it wipes everything, attributes and skills
@@OldGamerzNeverDie yeah i know how to wipe them but even after you wipe them you keep the lowered health and stuff so i might as well keep them for now
If you reset your attributes to lose the "Perma corruption" after spending a perk, you will heal and regen stam back to normal over time with food and potions. Or you can just die and when you respawn you can get back to full strength. Btw.. if not sure if everyone knows, but if you go to the menu screen and click on "character" then "remove bracelet" it will kill you character where you stand... so its a good way to die without getting your armor wrecked if you want to respawn at your bed/bedroll (you do not bring your stuff with you, unless the server has a mod that allows it) but if you have the recovery spell, you can pull your corpse to your bed and recover your stuff.
Damnit, the clown horn made me actually jump. Curse how easy it is to scare me.
Quick Footed is more important, you should experience how much speed it gives you, you can even dodge around enemies just by strafing, you dont even need to roll with that perk. Not to mention how much traveling time it saves overall.
Agility > Strength
Good info! Thanks for sharing! Im always appreciative when folks provide info on the different benefits of perks.. helps the community grow! Thank you!
Thanks for the vid, was very confused lol I subscribed and liked!
Glad it helped! And welcome to the OGs!
Commanding presence is a great perk. My thralls health rarely drops. Put food on them and they get that health regeneration between fights anyway. Light strikes from a katana is fast and keeps constant health going to your thralls.
Hmm.. I'll have to give that strat a try.. I usually use an axe.. so maybe thats my issue.
@@OldGamerzNeverDie saw a guy use two normal shalebacks against the red dragon. Apparently the tick from acid and poison damage work based on his video. And I have done no testing myself.
So take it with a grain of salt I guess.
There are some wild builds and follower combos that can make things that didnt used to be possible, much easier to accomplish. Im sure we will see some interesting stuff with this new update...even before mods make more changes :) Love the new vibe of experimentation out there!
There's also a crazy build where you combine skelos cult master plus tears of gullah potion ( I think that's the name) and some food to get high follower damage increases.
@@ds3497 I'll be covering food and potion buffs tonight on stream, drop by and see the wombo combo :)
Great intro, been gaming since '95. Subscribed due to the intro alone haha
Awesome! Thanks for joining the OGs! We are a pretty diverse group but most of us have been gaming for decades.. as for me.. I'll be 61 in a couple of weeks and been playing video games since they were invented :)
Corrupted Authority seems really fun. I need to test out the last Demon Lord perk before deciding if I want to fully corrupt that tree
Its worth a look see. Only problem I had with that one was that it took away my Fast Learning, which I use to boost my follower's health, and replaced it with a uncontrolled demon that my follower often attacked as an enemy. But that was in test live.. so give it a shot and see if its better now., and let me know how it goes! Would love to hear your opinion!
Demon Lord is terrible. The demons consistently miss the target, and get in the way (especially when playing with friends). The last perk to share your stats with your thrall is leaps and bounds better.
@@Keltair13 oh yeah, I agree
Depends on the demon you randomly summon and how frequently they spawn. The lowly troll that normally shows up misses a lot but shows up frequently and I had 6 spawn while I was fighting red mother. The white skeletal demon that occasionally summons doesn't miss very often it's just a rarer spawn
15 corrupted points in Authority, and three zombies. All the bonuses from minions and damage spread to minions, while keeping the minion buff from the 20 Authority buff for buffed minions. Thats my corruption build and I basically just point my horde at an enemy and wait.
Brilliant gameplay bro enjoyed watching full watch here my man 💯👊!
Thank you so much Mayhem! Glad you enjoyed it.. and hope it helps ease some confusion on how this all works!
Irritate definitely works. Sometimes too well. To the point where my thrall is being killed, and i can't save them because i can't get the mob to stop attacking them and attack me instead.
The other peek that heals thralls when you do damage also works well. Once i got that perk, the irritate perk became much more useful because i could keep my thrall alive by attacking the enemy.
Good to know.. there have been a few tweaks since this vid was put out.. so glad to hear its starting to work as intended :)
Ya can turn off irritate in the thrall's behavior menu if it bothers you that much. Personally I find it useful on a well equipped thrall.
Good armour and decent healing food helps a lot.
Good points! Thanks for the info! :)@@clothar23
@@OldGamerzNeverDie Ya can also force feed them any potions in their inventory. Not any good in the middle of a fight but ya can buff them before a run or heal in between fights.
Good one my friend , big like and Dropped my full support
Thanks a lot DDG!! You are AWESOME!
I'm sick n bed n feel miserable plus happy n blessed so I thought you said it's old geezer that never die I realized after seeing your name I misheard what u said 😅
Well do take care and I hope you feel better soon!
Congratulations on 50k views!
Thank you! I am totally shocked! Grateful.. but shocked :)
i love your videos bro most other youtubers are annoying for me. Thanks for the content
Wow dude.. that is probably the nicest thing anyone has said to me! Its always a challenge listening to myself while editing these... I hate the way I sound sometimes.. good to hear others like what Im puttin out there!
I appreciate this a lot because this will help me in pvp not only I be able to stand a chance against players but others as well sucks grit doesn't have anything because I love the tank it gives me oh well
Glad it helps you out! :) Go get em!
This game looks pretty cool! Great video!
Thank you so much!!! Really glad you enjoyed it. The game is a lot of fun, especially if you can find a good group to play with. If you're on pc, hop in my discord and come out and play with us!
Heya there! it's very nice to see you're still being active. expect a comment from me on every video because i love them! As always,keep it up!
Thanks a ton Steg! So glad you are enjoying my content and always happy to see you comment on my vids!
@@OldGamerzNeverDie No worries. Always expect me when you post videos. You're very underrated and i wanna bring the spotlight to an amazing person like you
Awesome job with the video!! Enjoyed watching.
Thanks Reagan! Glad you liked it!
The first 14 minutes of this video contain very valuable information about corruption. Thank you for that, I've shared this video with others! :) [Why the last 5 minutes are spent talking about his personal favorite attributes, which have NO corrupted points at all.... I dunno. Feels out of place].
Thank you for the compliment and the feedback. Im always trying to get better.
Great content, I like it very much, my support is with you👏😎
Thank you so much and welcome to the OGs!
Great video. Can’t wait to get home and download the update!
Ive had fun playing on the testlive, so I think people will find this content something to come back and play (or play for the first time) Funcom kinda dropped the ball on getting info to the mod developers, which is a bummer, and I havent figured out how to get into the store for the battle pass, but I suppose that will all get sorted in time. Thank you so much for coming out and becoming an OG!
Thanks for the information, BIG Help, just now getting into new download appreciate it!
Glad it helps! I'm gonna try to run an "open" stream tonight to test different scenarios in creative mode to science out people's questions so come on by if you're able. 10pm EST, I get the notification out once I have a solid plan for the evening
@@OldGamerzNeverDie I'm sorry I missed it I have a lot of questions needing answers
That corrupted authority makes me instantly think of Diablo 3.
Yep yep
Corrupt builds are ok till you come across a base with dancers in the honey combed walls
Not sure I follow, do you mean corrupted points or using corrupted armor. Dancers don't remove the 50% corruption you get from corrupting attributes
Nice vid. I am digging the changes so far, going to go for a heavy strength, vitality, expertise build and see how that shakes out. Any thoughts of what design space is left for corrupted agility, grit and expertise?
I could see that being something that could be corrupted.. but currently if you run the right build, you can be nearly invincible with the current options. Id speculate that they may either 1) be watching to see how the current set up gets used (or exploited) to add much more, or 2) save those attributes as something to flesh out in their next season.
That build is trash run agility with expertise is a must tbh and vital with everything.
@@yomatawai7648 Go with what works for you, I think there are a lot of new power builds that will come from the new way they've done attributes and corruption
@@yomatawai7648 Well, since release, I tried several builds with both a strength and agility focuses. I found, with minimum effort to optimize, that the agility hit slightly harder, but the strength was very close to it while being alot more flexible with the larger carry weight and wider weapon options. For the non super min maxy player, I d say either direction is very valid boss.
Thank you so much I loved your tutorial! :)
Glad to see it's still helping people out! Thank YOU for watching!
Another old gamer here, GT Medusa6262😝. I had never picked up a controller until 2017. I suck at most games but keep plugging away.
Glad to have you aboard! Come on out and play with us anytime.. we are a community of folks that are just lookin to have fun. Ive been gaming since the 70's but I cant say IM good at anything either.. LOL... but I do try! If its fun... thats all that counts in my book! 😀
Great vid, congrats!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
Cheers mate . Well informed content .
Thanks! Glad it's still holding up! The way these games change over time, I never know. 🙂
awesome explaining thank you for your work with this video. I have one question tho. if you corrupt your str example, do you still get the previous perks or do you lose them and you get the corruption one instead?
Good question, and one a lot of people have asked. When you corrupt a steop in a tree, that perk is REPLACED with the corrupted version of the pekr. For me.. as an example, I usually coorrupt the first perk in the Authority tree to traid the "taunt" for Frenzy... seems to work better for me. And I leave the rest of the Auth tree uncorrupted.
nice video! Im going to start streaming conan so this will help alot!!!
Awesome! Yeah.. Conan can be a lot of fun.. it can also be very punishing at times. I'll go check out your channel and see when you stream so that I can watch you play!
It's effect is during combat, they'll pull aggro if you're doing big damage
Yeah, I get that, just haven't seen it be that helpful, just my opinion
A great guide, thank you!
Thanks! Glad it helped you out. More to come and I'll be streaming shortly just doing a "let's find out" type of event... will science out any scenarios the chat provides :)
When you corrupt a perk, does it remove that perk and you only receive the bonus from the new corrupted perk? Or do you get access to both?
The way he talks about it i think it does remove the old perk but im not sure just off of this video
The uncorrupted perk gets replaced by the corrupted perk, from what Ive seen so far. If its a perk in Strength or Expertise, you do still keep the buff on encumbrance though. I'll keep sciencing it as the full release rolls out and see how it all plays out.
Only the corrupted
Corrupted replaces the old perk, its a 3rd choice. An example is the Authority line. At 20 you can have 2 thralls as a choice and with corrupted many are just putting 19/20 including me. As it allows you to keep the 2 thralls and the old perks get replaced so instead Im being healed and my damage is split with them. They no longer get healed from the perk at 10 because it corrupted. Hope that better explains it
So if you corrupt the first level of say strength, do you still keep the 2,3,4 perks from the non corrupted line? Or do you lose every perk from the non corrupted line once you corrupt the first level?
Update needs more tuning but so far i like it. The fact people cant get carried by followers makes it easier and better. The toxic players on my server have more tribe members than mine and bully newer players all the time we fought them for months and it was hard to win cause its always 3vs7 but we are able to 1v2 and sometimes 1v3 but they also have thralls so its basically 3vs14 cause we didnt use our thralls or they would just gang up on it and everytime we got remotely hit by one of their thralls we basically just died.
With this update thralls are not remotely as scary and we have slapped them constantly in the past 2 days they havent killed us once. It certainly shows how bad players are without their thralls doing all the work now its a bit more skilled based. Even is nice that now if you wanna be immune to poison you have to sac like 30% of your hp bar for it. Which is fair
Yeah.. I really do like the way they changed things up.. I agree, its more skill and strategy based now. There are still some OP builds, but you have to sacrifice some things to be able to do it. Being a glass cannon is only good in some situations. LOL
If you play SP, it is really annoying that thralls die so easily now
People think glutton for punishment is way better than it actually is.
Depends on your build and play style. But, at the end of the day all of the new perk system comes down to that. I've tried a few and about the only ones I keep coming back to are Stamina perks and Thrall perks.
The Last Stand perk from Vitality triggers as soon as u are below 50% health, but if half your health is corrupted, does that mean as soon as u take ANY amount of damage you will trigger it? Or do you have to go below the 50% on the new health pool?
Ive not tested that particular scenario, but Id believe it would trigger on half of your existing health pool is, so if its half already, then its half of that.
Awesome and to the point.
Thanks. :D
Thank you so much for the compliments! There's a lot to take in with the changes they have made, and some are not as obvious as others. I'll keep looking for ways to help, in the mean time, enjoy playing.. I always do! :)
Irritate does work my thrall keeps agro like a champ now. Goes well with backstab.
Interesting.. might have been just a glitch in testlive. I still have my follower seem to ignore some mobs... how do you have your behavior set, to "guard me" or "aggro to all"? Maybe thats the issue.. I have mine set to guard me.
@@OldGamerzNeverDie attack all enemies
@@garymonfred8390 ah, I'll give that a shot on stream tonight and make that correction. Thanks for the info!
Great video verry informative. one question i hope you can answer.
If you corrupt a stat and get new corrupted perks on your character, Do you still keep the non corrupted perks you got from putting points in that stat?
Good question, and no, sadly, the corrupted perks replace the uncorrupted ones. However, you do not have to corrupt a whole tree, for example you could corrupt just the first perk in Authority and not go any further, so you keep the other uncorrupted perks. Makes for a mix and match build that some people like.
Very clear, quick to the point, no filler crap to run out the video. Super professional sir tyvm, subbed.
Edit: question when you take a corrupted perk does it replace the base perk you picked earlier? Or do you wind up with 8 perks from a fully corrupted tree?
Thanks so much! Im glad it got you what you were looking for. Working thru the testlive for Chapter 2 now to see what I can give people a heads up about.
huge thanks!
One question as a noob... the normal perks go away once you corrupted your skills?
Probably the number 1 question I get, so you aren't alone.Yes, the perks from the normal traits get replaced by the corrupted perks
The game forces you to now fight with your thrall and makes you more resilient. I go 10 points into corruption in authority sharing 50% of damage received with my thralls but only lose 20% of health and stamina. Plus getting a 30% thrall damage bonus.
Sounds like an interesting combo, I'll have to take a look and see what kind of impact that has. Thanks for the suggestion!
@@OldGamerzNeverDie already have a new build 15 points str and 15 corruption points. Maxed authority with war party and 19points corruption. Maxed grit with I think Steel thewed. And 5 expertise for some carry weight. This build can take out the arena champion like it was nothing and that is without thralls.. With Thralls it is even easier...mule kick just downs her and your Thralls can go to town on her. Boss battles don't last long.
@@zazoreal5536 Sounds like a wombo combo! Thanks for sharing!
Great video.
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it!
Corrupted builds suck. Petrified is kinda cool with late game armor because it denies the sunder effect. I haven't noticed a significant damage increase with strength weapons.
Authority is kind of a joke if you don't have a high health follower.
Overall losing 50% of your endurance & health sucks. Those are the most important stats in the game by far.
Oh I agree... I get into the tree far enough to get Zombies and the recover corpse spells and thats it. Just doesnt appeal to me either.. the cost of strength and stam just dont fit with my builds.
@@OldGamerzNeverDie Corrupted builds need to be buffed a lot. The stamina loss & hp loss is heavy. The fact this is how it plays out sucks. Hp & Stamina are the most useful resource in the game by far because you might climb somewhere or you might fall off and take damage having hp bulk is useful. Most of the gameplay is traveling, its important to have the big bars to not die to silly movement mistakes.
@@ElDrHouse2010 yep, but that's Funcom for ya. They've messed up the gameplay so much since Age of Sorcery that I have a hard time playing anymore. Seems like the dev team is just phoning it in til they can get Dune released
Thank you!
You are welcome! Glad you enjoyed it! :)
Still waiting for Fcom to add corruption to the other 3 attributes.
Unfortunately, I doubt it will happen. Im actually kind of afraid of what will come of Conan when DUNE launches... my bet is that Funcom is devoting a heck of a lot of resources in that direction these days.. just my opinion.
@@OldGamerzNeverDie Probably the same thing that happened to the old Conan when the Secret World came out. It went P2W and died.
The first Authority perk is for mounts.
Interesting, Im still not seeing much in the way of a benefit, so I'm likely gonna corrupt that one and see if having Frenzy will pack more punch :)
awesome video really enjoyable
Thanks so much NovaGhost! Really appreciate all the support and compliments!
Excellent content, ty.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
I’ve been wondering too. Why does the Abyssal Steed turn on me after so long? Is there a way to prevent that? And this video is very helpful. Thank you heaps!!!! I miss playing on PC though… lol
Pretty much all of the Abyssal stuff is temporary. You can extend the armor and weapons by killing enemies, but the mounts and the demons will eventually turn on you and your pets/thralls or sometimes just disappear. Never leave important stuff in their inventory. Zombies seem immune to this, but will also just "disappear" if you don't keep food on them.
@@OldGamerzNeverDie Interesting… I’ll have to keep that in mind too then. That Abyssal Demon is strong though. I seen him taking on 3 skull elites. I can see why they are temporary lol.
@everyone Question do you keep the uncounted perks if you corrupt the whole skill line or are the regular skill totally gone once you corrupt the tree? Trying to figure this out?
As you corrupt an attribute, you change to the uncorrupted benefit into the corrupted one. You don't keep both benefits. Each five point corrupted changes that perk while the others stay uncorrupted. As an example you can corrupt the first point in the Authority tree and it will change to Frenzy, while leaving the rest of the tree uncorrupted, so that you could maintain the uncorrupted War Party perk at the top of that tree.
If they replace the old talons, then the authority tree got heavily nerved because of the fifth point not having well trained so you’re a thrall is nerfed back to the original
It seems counterintuitive
Yep, pretty much, but you get to spawn demons randomly that are uncontrolled and attack your thralls... So there's that LOL
Btw, I do NOT recommend corrupting that last perk in authority, but that's just me
Just invest 19 and get that 57% bonus damage.
@@SpliffyHusk Yep
Firstly not enough points to start with & secondly losing half my health is never an option, so this age of sorcery has been wasted on me 😢
Shame really as i was hoping to enjoy it..
Yeah.. honestly the "sorcery" aspect was kind of a non starter for me too, which is why I went over my "uncorrupted build" at the end. About the only spells I use are the recover corpse, and zombies, which you dont have to be corrupted to use. I just keep a dancer by my summoning stone and grave. Hopefully the next "age" will have something a bit more helpful.
@@OldGamerzNeverDie Its tough as i was looking forward to it but simply not worth it specially when forced to put attribute points in one thing or another! no real balance..
Plenty of magical sorcery style games available that dont corrupt or force some kind of trade off, I'll still keep playing but just like Ark it will get deleted one day due to tiny tiny details that could be fixed or just added as options to those renting servers etc.
I am suprise that grit, expertise, and strength not having corrupted version, which is lame
Yeah, give it time. They might be planning on doing something different with those perks in the next season
As yet another Old Gamer, aged 61, I salute you Sir. So, with that attribute array, what equipment setup are you running?
Thanks for the compliment and the question. For starters, and likely for a while, Im actually just running a medium vanilla armor set. Decent protection and each item gives me +15 in weight (which I need since I've never seen an item in a game I didnt want to pick up and pop in my satchel). The stat boosts are very different and you should look for an armor set that boosts your play style (buff to health, light weapon damage, heavy weapon damage, etc) The attributes dont do that for you anymore for sure! Potions and food helps too.. but you'll have to do some experiments.. Oh.. and btw.. POTIONS DO NOT STACK anymore when taken together. Food and potion buffs DO still stack
Corrupted Strength Perk, Scourge: What is the actual # amount of additional dmg per corrupted point?
Corrupted Vitality Perk, Grotesque Excrescence: I have heard on two(2) other videos that it regens faster than normal Fierce Vitality. Is this true?
I'll have to test it out, since I dont typically run a corrupted build. Let me see what I can figure out and I'll get back to you.. or, if others know the answer, feel free to chime in and we'll all learn something new :)
If the update wasnt so buggy, then this would be exciting!
Still a lot of issues on console, not sure about officials on PC, but our server has been fine. Its getting to be the norm anymore that big updates or game launches tend to crash and burn.. its a dang shame.
Do either of you happen to know if they have fixed the getting stuck inside bigger enemies/amimals while fighting them? Like rhinos and those rock monster things you can mine after killing them? Biggest reason I stopped playing, its been a while and was on xbox.. it happened all the time and could not do anything else than wait for death or log out when it happened..
Good an bad news on that... it doesnt happen as often.. and usually you can still swing (vs just stuck and immobile) but it does still happen.
@@OldGamerzNeverDie hhmm.. I might have to endure that well over 100gig download again then, I really, really liked the game otherwise but still gonna wait a bit cause I see everywhere people saying that the console versions are broke as all hell after this update but, gonna give it another go after few more weeks, give them time to fix the stuff.. thanks for the quick response!!
@@elitereptilian200 No worries.. good luck! :)
Do you retain reg perks after corrupting and overwriting them?
No, when you corrupt your perk, you get a different perk, but it doesnt stack onto the old perk
@@OldGamerzNeverDie Thanks man
Did you do any tests to find out percentages and how useful those perks are? or are you just good at reading?
I have tried a lot of the perks during the testlive, so yes, Ive done quite a bit of play as well as some research. Everyone has their own paly style, so Id say to anyone, experiment with different builds and find what suits you and your play style the best.
Makes sense, I just found out some perks are really underwhelming even though they sound great. The percentages are really low
@@sieuzice Yeah.. and even some of the spells are pretty meh compared to the description... wall of fire looks like a lava slug that just sits there. Best spells Ive seen are Recover Corpse, Ice Bridge, and Invis imo.
Not sure if it has been asked but do heavy blows also work on heavy attacks with bows
Not sure.. let me do some testing and see what kind of damage it does depending on the setting
Irritate works cause I faught Rockslide with my thralls & they were bouncing his attention as I sat back & potshotted him with a bow & healing my team it only works AFTER you enguage a target though. also who the heck does not play with Better thralls & thralls level to 100 mods?
LOL, we took off all our mods for the update, since I was certain mod devs would not have time to update them before 3.0 released. Turned out I was right as many servers were crashing because mods wouldn't load (not the mod devs fault, Funcom dropped the ball) I'm still not getting must aggro pull to my thralls, maybe because I can't resist jumping into the fray
Super useful.
Thank you for the compliment! Glad it helped you out!
I like the coruot perks their all pretty powerful the demon one some invonvrnience byt still powerful
Yeah.. its definitely a style of play if you want to go for it.. you give up some health and stam, but get some interesting perks instead. I know Dhax (on the server where I go to just relax and play) has an all corrupt build and he has a pretty powerful set up.
corrupted attributes perks replace normal attributes perks? or overlaps?
Replace
how do you even gain corruption xp??? is it soul essence? where do you get soul essence?
You do have to spend Soul Essence to corrupt your Attributes. You get them in the Sacrifical Stone which is the second crafting table you get in Sorcery. Let me know if you cant find it.. or drop in the discord and people there will be happy to help you get it sorted :)
Eh. I don't see the appeal here. Having my health permanently cut in half just to deal a few percent more damage just isn't worth it to me.
Same story with the sorcery spells. They take far too long to activate, you can't really use them in battle, and I'm just not finding them useful. I'm also not finding myself willing to get corrupted enough to use the spells that are somewhat useful like the mass cull spell. It's great for mass harvesting, but by the time i get myself enough corruption to use it and actually cast the spell, i could have just harvested everything by hand anyway and not have to spend one of those sorcery bags.
All in all, I'm not too impressed with this age of sorcery stuff.
Yep, and there are new stamina adjustments coming in Chapter 4.. so hold onto yer butts!
If u get rid of ur corruption completely what happens to your corrupted perks? Do the go back to normal or do u end up having no perks until I corrupt urself again?
Once you start corrupting your perks, you cant get rid of that corruption.. it stays on you no matter what. The only way to get rid of it is to totally reset your attributes. If you havent gotten any special scrolls from the map room in the Unnamed City or used fragments to increase your knowledge points, the easiest way to do a reset is to make and use a Yellow Lotus potion (takes a few yellow lotus.. and they grow all along the river banks in the newbie area) Yellow Lotus Potion ALSO RESETS ALL of your KNOWLEDGE. and currently there is a bug that even resets knowledge from scrolls in the map room... so I wouldnt do a reset until they correct that as you may lose things you cant get back without a lot of work. Once you reset your attributes, you will need to reselect your build... so you will start from a clean slate of no benefits and build the attribute tree back up.
1st perk in authority is easier to see when your fighting and your follower is a mount, the enemies will stop fighting you and go after them, went into a large camp and there were more enemies on my mount then me.
Interesting.. I'll have to give that a try! Thanks!😀
Don't ask me how, but i have my agility first bar corrupted eh
Also, depending on what you choose not corrupted, has a baring on what you get when you do corrupt that trait bar, in other words, they're not the same depending on what you pick prior to corruption, and i think that may include traits that don't seem to corrupt, but will if you pick a certain path in the others eh
Are you playing on pc or console? I know there have been some glitches on console where people can spend their attribute points in other things (like agility) that are closed off to everyone else. Even had one person who's 6 year old son did something and gave him 400 attribute points to spend on his X box X.. but it was a bug and when he went to use them it wiped em out.
@@OldGamerzNeverDie yeah PS5 eh, maybe a glitch, i dunno for sure eh
if you wanted to redo your perks after corruption are you still able to talk a beastial potion to respec?
Yes, and Ive actually had that drop on some one skull boss kills, so theres a shot at just respec-ing your attributes without running the Jhebbal Sag dungeon, which I intend to run tonight on stream, so wish me luck! LOL
Yellow lotus pot also is suppose to be able to let you respect
It does, but it respects knowledge points too and currently is broken as it will also wipe any scrolls you have learned or shards you have used to increase your knowledge points. Its a known issue, but still being worked.. Id stay away from Yellow Lotus pots if you have any of those situations going on til they get that fixed.
After corrupting your attributes fully. Can you heal your curruption but maintain the corrupted perks? Or do you always have to stay fully corrupted?
Once you spend points in corruption, you stay corrupted and the only "cleanse" is to reset your attributes. That's why I recommend getting a cursed item that can corrupt you if you want to cast spells, get rid of that corruption afterwards with an entertainer, cleansing brew or eating a heart of a hero. The "blessed" items didn't clear any corruption in the test live, I may try that out in tonight's stream
Im level 60 but only have 59 attribute points to spend. In this vid i see 60 attributes. Why is that?
Unfortunately, you're not the first person I've heard this from, are you on PC or console. I believe the others I've heard having this issue were on Xbox.
Does followers mean zombies only or can they be any thrall following,??
For me, I use the term followers for tames, thralls and zombies, although you can't always mix and match under the War Party Perk
Do u get to keep the original perks well gaining the corrupted ones or naw?
No, when you corrupt a perk, the new buffs take over for the old uncorrupted ones.
@@OldGamerzNeverDie ok thx good to know
TYSM
Glad its still helping people! Been a while since I posted it.. but still seems to be holding up :)
question i cant find it any where yet, how do you get rid of curroption points?
If you have spent points corrupting an attribute, the only way to get rid of it is to reset your attributes. Yellow Lotus potion is probably the easiest way, but it wipes your attributes and your skills. Then you have to pick them again. You cant run ANY corrupted points on your attributes and not be half corrupted all the time.
I want to reset my skills, I want to put corrupt skills on authority, can this be done?
Yes, you can corrupt Strength, Vitality, and Authority. You just have to spend your original non-corrupted points in those trees, then get heavily corrupted and have soul essence enough to spend corrupting the tree you want.
Any chance you could do a video showcasing the actual gameplay with corrupted perks? No one has done it yet and I don't know if it's worth it to lose glutton for punishment. They all just do what you did here. Shown the perks but haven't put them into practice.
Thanks for the suggestion. I'll give it a try and see what I can come up with. Likely will need to break it down into a vid per perk tree to make it something thats not 3 hours long, but will give me a challenge to complete :)
ok thx for this video and sorry for the long comment i sorta got into it. so the corrupted points replace the original perk then??? some of this stuff seems plain stupid to me like sure i can see the first strenth one being usefull IF i grab more points in it but i won't. See i'm running wiht a shield and as far as i know i can't kick with my shield up i'l just block. Sooooo why the flying F would i want mule kick then? Still running max strenth tho since i'm yimr and got that full armor set. if it was not for that silly kick that i'd be hard pressed to even tremember that i have then i could see myself going for wrack and keep my crushing swings. The corrupted Vitality got the exact problem for me. Sure more regen the more currupted vitality i got cool but loosing my fast healer is OUT of the question for me. Authority is a diffirent beast to me tho. See i have not once put a single point in authrity since i recently started playing again. I HATE Irritate since i'm the mellee guy i have my thralls as ranged combat meaning if they start irritating the enemy to attack them then they don't get to shooting like... why would i want this. So latley for my strenth build where i more or less only do any real combat in groups and only ever PVE.. i mean my build is not by any means geared towards full combat. But anyway i could see me running authrity IF i would corrupt it and Flesh bond is actually a cool thing to have but... i'm the tank and i got a great wolf that is strong and all but no i don't feel like deflecting damage over to him at all... now if i had a great bear tho sure and my archer does not take much damage so there is room there i suppose. Devour looks amazing but that demon lord is a no thx. But as my build looks now i don't have any spre points to speak of for authority.
LOL, yep, that was a mouthful. The things you cover are exactly why I don't run a corrupted build. So far irritate just doesn't work for me, I have my thralls on Guard Me, so they don't get into the fray unless I order them in. On the server I actually play on, O have a basic "jack of all trades" build with authority maxed with fast learner as the final perk, then have 3 zombie that I use as thralls which pretty much tear thru anything I've sent em after
@@OldGamerzNeverDie i need to look into these spells stuff... so far i onl got like 4 spells or so
@@Jharug87 There are some good ones to get, and some are just underwhelming. Ice Bridge, Darkness, Invis and Recover Corpse are the ones I use the most
And if we don't own the 'old stand-by corrupted armor'?
Lots of ways to get corrupted, go stand around an obelisk, cast some spells, fight corrupted creatures. If you have the armor, I was pointing out that now is a good time to dig it out of your vault and use it.
Is it worth it corrupting the last vitality perk?
It depends on your play style and what kind of server you play on. If you are playing on a PvE server or doing a solo play thru, I dont see a huge benefit. The "corruption" you expell doesnt seem to do much to NPCs in my experience (but I havent run a corrupted build since early in 3.0 launch). If you are playing PvP or PvE-C then the corrupted damage you deal may be the extra added oomph against other players. For me though, I find it hard to give up Glutton for Punishment.
so when you say "explained" you actually mean "read the list and thats it" Not really explaining it :/
Like lets take Wrack for example, how much does it debuff the enemy ? Does the debuff scale with enemy difficulty ? How long does it last ? Can you trigger the effect with a bow or does it have to be a melee weapon ? Does it have to be Strength based melee weapon ? That sort of info would be "explaining the perk" right ?
You're right, if I had made a 3 hour video to explain every perk, I could have done what you were looking for. When I posted this, there was little to no info on even what the perk trees looked like, and that was what I was working to explain. Next time I'll be work on being more specific. Thanks.
What exactly do your thralls no longer receive from your stats, when you choose War Party (20 authority perk).. they still keep the out of combat regen.. what do they lose?
Something I'll need to science.. I know that they do not get the huge health/perk boost that they get from the other perk (sorry.. a bit brain dead after the 12 hr stream last night). I plan on doing a vid on builds to support your thralls but may take a few days.
@@OldGamerzNeverDie I'm currently running max vitality/authority/encumbered. Using 2 berserker thralls in strength gear/str weapons, and im wearing witch doctor mask, turanian chest/legs, gloves of jhil, zamorian thief boots(i need to find different boots to match the rest of the build), but also swapping diseased knives and feroxic daggers to stack DoTs, and shooting healing arrows at the thralls if they need it. It's not perfect, but I feel invincible, which is nice.. I might swap out some vitality for a perk in grit.. can always use better stamina regen. I don't plan on using corrupted perks because I can't stand having corruption stealing my hp/Stam. Lol
You get the same corrupted perk no matter what uncorrupted perk you pick?
Yes, Ive tested all the decision tree perks and no matter what you pick for any of the attributes, when you corrupt to that point, you get the same corrupted perk.
@@OldGamerzNeverDie Awesome! Thanks!!
@@stupedcraig Happy to help
Where can I get those souls?
You get Soul Essence from "harvesting" unconverted thralls on the slab ... similar to getting the blood essence. It will corrupt you more, so have a dancer nearby your sacrificial alter.
I'm mad you don't get your building pieces back
Depends on what you are doing. If you are moving something (like a work station or cabinet) just move it with the move icon. If you delete it with the hammer, all the base resources go into your inventory. If you break it, then you only recover part of your resources.
But does the vitality attribute work whilst corrupted
Once you corrupt a perk (in your case you are asking about Vitality) you lose the first perk string as you corrupt that perk point. For example, the first per in Vitality is Fierce Vitality, if you corrumpt up to that point, it replaces Fierce Vitality with Grotesque Excrescence, which is similar in that both give you passive health gain, but they are scaled differently. Other perks can be very different once corrupted.
