About the Author
This guide was written by Llarold! I’ve been tanking since Vanilla. During Mists of Pandaria, I saw an opportunity to begin writing guides, and I took it with the hopes of making myself a better tank and making the community into better tanks with me. I hope it’s working!
I am active in all of the tank class Discords but primarily contribute to theorycrafting discussions in
Peak of Serenity
and
Skyhold
(Monk and Warrior). I’m active on
Twitter
, where I mostly talk WoW (and basketball), and I’m half of the team responsible for the YouTube channel
WoW at Night
, which focuses primarily on tank guides and previews.
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
阿什拉·卡马斯,决意之护
, 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 Protection Warrior
What Corruptions should I Buy from MOTHER on a Protection Warrior?
Corruptions now can be
purchased from MOTHER
using
尼奥罗萨的回响
. Every few days, a new set of Corruptions will be accessible, coinciding with the bi-weekly Lesser Assault reset.
With that in mind, we present a list of the best corruptions to purchase from MOTHER on a spec class.
暮光毁灭
- It's the best overall damage trait for tanks, and it should be your go-to in nearly every situation. In pure single-target encounters, it falls behind a couple of other options, but pure single target is extremely rare at this point, so it's not really worth worrying about. Depending on your Corruption and
尼奥罗萨的回响
budgets, you may want to pick up Rank 1, 2, or 3 from MOTHER. The important thing is to get as much Twilight Devastation on your gear as you can.
龟裂创伤
- A reliable single-target damage proc with a great DPS/Corruption value. If there's room to fill in a little more Corruption while staying beneath a Corruption soft-cap (40 or 60), then this is the best option.
权宜之计
- While not worth as much damage as proc options, this is the best defensive Corruption available, and it's still
pretty
efficient offensively. Like Gushing Wound, this is great for fitting in a small Corruption while staying under a soft cap.
多才多艺
- Like Expedient and Gushing Wound, this is good for fitting in a small Corruption while staying under a soft cap, and it's popular for high-level Mythic+ pushing due to the increased passive damage reduction it offers.
不可言喻的真相
- Despite being pretty weak offensively, Ineffable Truth increases Demoralizing Shout uptime significantly, which can be valuable for high-level Mythic+ pushing. At rank 1, it's an effective, extremely cheap defensive boost.
虚空回响
- It's not as good in AoE as Twilight Devastation or as good in ST as Infinite Stars, but it's still a strong option for tanks. It's generally not worth spending
尼奥罗萨的回响
that could be saved for Twilight Devastation, but if they're burning a hole in your pocket, this is not a bad option.
无尽之星
- It's the best single target corruption, but it loses damage in AoE due to the debuff stacks being spread around multiple targets. Ultimately, this is not a high priority unless you really want to parse on Xa'nesh and Shad'har.
The Ultimate Corruption Setup For The End of 8.3
With Patch 9.0 fast approaching, and Corruption planned to be removed when it does, there is precious little time left to maximize the potential insanity of perfectly-stacked Corruption. Depending on your preferred maximum breakpoint (39 for a defensive setup, 59 for an offensive setup), you will want to acquire the following Corruption on your gear:
Offensive:
暮光毁灭
x 7,
权宜之计
x 1 (rank 1). You can run Rank 1 of
不可言喻的真相
instead of
权宜之计
for slightly better cooldown uptime, but your overall DPS will be slightly lower. With Maximum Corruption Resistance from the Cape (125) and Corruption Resistance Minor Essence (10), this setup leaves you at 175 + 15 - 125 - 10 = 55 Corruption. Your Twilight Devastation procs will deal hundreds of thousands of damage, easily critting for more than a million during Last Stand. It owns.
Defensive:
多才多艺
x 8 (Rank 3),
不可言喻的真相
x 1 (rank 1). This uses all of your Corruptible gear slots. With Maximum Corruption Resistance from the Cape (125) and Corruption Resistance Minor Essence (10), this leaves you at 160 + 12 - 125 - 10 = 37 Corruption. You will have 96% increased Versatility from all sources, and the valuable cooldown reduction of Ineffable Truth. When combined with Versatility from gear and bonuses such as Conflict and Strife, this can easily be worth more than 2000 additional Versatility. That's a constant 12% damage reduction. It will make you immensely more tanky.
Best Protection Warrior Corruption Bonuses
Passive Effects
Protection Warriors prioritize Haste and Versatility, so
权宜之计
and
多才多艺
are both great all-around options.
Stacking
多才多艺
for high-level Mythic+ pushing is fairly popular. The defensive benefits of extra Versatility are very noticeable. It's like turning WoW's difficulty down. It's good. Boring! But good. Just be sure to stack Versatility on your gear if you are stacking
多才多艺
.
In general, passive Corruption bonuses for Protection Warriors are better defensively than proc effects, but not as good offensively as optimal proc effects. The remaining unmentioned passive effects are generally not worth the corruption budget, at least once you have better options.
Proc Effects
Best Effects
无尽之星
- The best single target corruption, but it loses damage in AoE due to the debuff stacks being spread around multiple targets.
扭曲的附肢
- Good added single-target damage. Tentacle procs can be a little unpredictable and the tentacles themselves can be killed if they draw aggro, but it's a good option. Bonus: The tentacles will immediately retarget if the mob they are Mind Flaying dies! Pretty cool, right?
龟裂创伤
- A simple, reliable single-target damage proc. Very efficient in terms of DPS/Corruption value. A great option.
虚空回响
- The
second
best AoE damage trait -- and a still a top-five single target option. It's still good and efficient in terms of DPS/Corruption value post-nerf, but it's not dominant like it once was.
Good Effects
急速脉搏
- A simple, decent Haste Proc.
虚空仪式
- Offers a now-significant amount of stat budget for its cost. Stat proc traits are generally weaker than damage procs, but they offer a bit more defensive value. This trait is among the best stat options.
暮光毁灭
- This is obviously oriented more towards AoE than single target, but it is still a good single target trait. The proc rate is a bit low, making it a little less reliable than some of the pure single target alternatives, but this is probably the best all-around corruption available to Protection Warriors after the Echoing Void nerf. It also turns Last Stand and Rallying Cry into decent potential offensive cooldowns!
Bad Effects
不可言喻的真相
-
This is a good defensive Corruption for high-level Mythic+ pushing, but not great for raiding.
Arguably better in AoE than single target, but not terrific offensively even in the best case scenario. Protection Warriors do gain immense offensive and defensive value out of their many, many cooldowns and having them up even more often is great, but the direct damage value of other corruptions greatly outclasses this option.
须臾洞察
- Not that valuable, and overpriced relative to its added value. Autocleanse.
From a
purely offensive standpoint
, corruptions can be ranked by the following chart.

Proc Effects
Best Effects
暮光毁灭
-
The best AoE damage trait,
and arguably the best trait overall. Despite not being the best in pure single target, its dominance in AoE is so supreme that the potential loss of single target damage is a worthy tradeoff. This trait is outstanding in Mythic+. It also turns Last Stand and Rallying Cry into decent potential offensive cooldowns!
虚空回响
- The
second
best AoE damage trait. It provides a reliable pulse of damage throughout a fight, but it doesn't have the impressive burst of
暮光毁灭
.
Good Effects
急速脉搏
- A simple, decent Haste Proc.
虚空仪式
- Offers a now-significant amount of stat budget for its cost. Stat proc traits are generally weaker than damage procs, but they offer a bit more defensive value. This trait is among the best stat options.
Situational Effects
不可言喻的真相
- Despite the interesting appeal of having Avatar and Demoralizing Shout active more often in AoE situations, this simply doesn't contribute enough damage when compared to direct damage proc corruption traits.
The added uptime to Demoralizing Shout and your other defensive cooldowns can be very powerful in high-level Mythic+ pushing, so this is a useful, extremely efficient trait to pick up for pushing high-end keys.
Bad Effects
灼热烈焰
- An extremely reliable AoE damage proc, guaranteed to burn all enemies in front of you every 30 GCD’s. Decent in AoE fights and Mythic+, but clearly undertuned compared to the competition. It is an autocleanse.
须臾洞察
- Not valuable, and overpriced relative to its added value. Autocleanse.

Best Protection Warrior Ny'alotha Weapons
Aside from random corruption effects, weapons from the new Ny'alotha raid also have exclusive corruption effects that can be very powerful. Similar to random corruption effects, if you obtain a weapon with a subpar effect, you can cleanse it. As a Protection Warrior, you can obtain weapons with the following effect:
法拉洛斯,帝国之梦
always comes with
灼热烈焰
- Adds a measurable, occasional damage proc. It's worth a modest amount of DPS in sustained AoE, but not enough to justify wearing a suboptimal or lower item level piece of gear to acquire. Basically, wear it only if you don't have other Corruption alternatives. Otherwise, cleanse it.
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:
贪婪触须
- Unlocked with 1 Corruption
腐化之眼
- Unlocked with 20 Corruption
壮美幻象
- Unlocked with 40 Corruption
倾泻灾祸
- Unlocked with 60 Corruption
在劫难逃
- Unlocked with 80 Corruption
Learn more about Corruption in our in-depth guide!
At Rank 6, the legendary Cloak
阿什拉·卡马斯,决意之护
gains an on-use effect which will remove and immune all currently active negative corruption effects.
贪婪触须
- You cannot remove the debuff, but
拦截
and
英勇飞跃
can help you quickly reposition even when slowed immensely.
腐化之眼
creates a void zone that can force you to reposition enemies and bosses. This can be deadly on some fights and not so bad on others, so be ready to adjust your corrupted gear accordingly. Generally speaking, this effect is annoying and occasionally dangerous for tanks, but usually pretty manageable.
壮美幻象
- The Thing from Beyond really wants to kill you, but a quick
风暴之锤
,
震荡波
, or
破胆怒吼
can keep it away from you long enough for it to despawn. You can also use
法术反射
to fully prevent its damage. If you are being chased by multiple Things From Beyond at the same time, taking the damage from one (or preventing it with
法术反射
) will cause all the others to despawn immediately.
倾泻灾祸
-
拦截
and
英勇飞跃
can help you quickly move away from danger, but letting your corruption be this high is a bad idea. Deflecting the Thing from Beyond's damage with
法术反射
will
not
prevent the effects of this corruption, so... yikes.
How Much Corruption Should a Protection Warrior Take?
The higher-end corruption effects are very nasty for tanks, and running around to deal with them will lower your group's DPS, which is bad! As a result, you probably won’t want to run a ton of corrupted gear in general - at least not when progressing in raids. In Mythic+, where moving mobs and bosses is slightly less punishing on the party, corruption effects will probably be a bit more forgiving.
At this point, playing conservatively with corruption is probably the best move for tanks. Staying below 40 Corruption is the safe play, but the benefits of some corruption effects are worth the risk, and tanks can have a little corruption, as a treat. Getting up to 59 Corruption isn't so bad most of the time, since you can deflect Things From Beyond with
法术反射
, but it is still a moderate risk. At most, you'll want to try staying under 60 Corruption in raids and Mythic+.

Seems rather curious that you classify Ineffable Truth as a "bad" corruption given that the highest rank prot warriors in M+ run 2x rank 1 Ineffable Truth...
