Seed of Corruption

Question about this... I see that its a 2 second cast, and that one corruption can be on a target at a time from the same lock, meaning you cannot use Seed of Corruption on a target that you also have corruption on.

This leads me to believe that the improved corruption talent will work with Seed of Corruption as well to make it an instant spell. Has anyone heard any differently or any specified information as to whether this is the case?

Re: Seed of Corruption

I find it extremely doubtful that it will.

Note that the Imp Corruption talent says that it "Decreases the casting time of your Corruption spell by X", not Corruption spells.

An instant cast 1k aoe* which is spammable would be somewhat overpowered, methinks :P

*1k AoE since it goes off once ~1000 damage is done to the target, which is absolutely nothing in a group situation.

Agree. I doubt you will see it affect SoC. If anything blizz may change the talent to cut SoC down to 1 minute cast but you won't see it become instant cast. The spell has to much damage potential to be instantly casted

The spell "Seed of Corruption" cannot be spammed, it can only affect one target at a time, just like Curse of Exhaustion.

If you were to cast Seed of Corruption on a second target, the first target would most likely lose the Seed of Corruption debuff.

Where on Earth do you get this idea from? You can cast CoEx on more than one target...

There's nothing in Seed of Corruption saying it can only affect one target at a time. It *does*, however, say that only one Corruption spell per Warlock can only be on any one target at a time. That just means that you can't put Corruption *and* Seed of Corruption on the same person.

"any one target at a time" doesn't mean that it can only be on one target.

"Only one Corruption spell per Warlock can be active on any one target"
Taken from: http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/...ck/spells.html

"Only one Curse per warlock can be active on any one target."
Taken from the game's spell's tooltip's. And from this site:
http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/...k/talents.html

Anyway, that's how I see this.

Re: Seed of Corruption

My bad, I thought it said Only one Seed of Corruption.

You are correct, Soni.

Edit: Though it says the same for Curse of Exhaustion, meaning it's spammable now?

Re: Seed of Corruption

the more i read the tooltip the more i think that seed of corruption is going to benefit from any talent buff that regular corruption can get. while it looks like it can be talented down to an instant cast it looks like it is going to be a projectile (like death coil) so it wont quite be an instant effect. also make sure you read its tooltip correctly, once you hit a target with seed of corruption and it takes 1044 total damage from ANY source, the seed explodes. if you aren't careful in crowded pve situations your going to have some serious aggro problems, aside from losing a lot of the dots effectiveness.

Curse of Exhuastion has always been spammable...

If you look at Curse of Agony or Curse of Weakness or any other curse, they say the exact same thing...by the same logic you can only have Curse of Agony up on one target at a time? Obviously that isn't true.

All that line means is that you can only have one curse (and one Corruption/SoC) on a single target. You can have as many separate targets as you like.
