How often does *corrode proc?

Topic title. It's been a year since the last *corrode topic on this forum and I don't know whether or not it has changed.

Too often for you to want to wear it unless the item is amazing otherwise.

yeah it seems to proc more than I'd like, but it's also a ring of wizardry with rC+, rN+, and Slay+3.

If it procs, you can always remove the ring and reset the fight. -4AC should be manageable. Would be really annoying, though.

It actually hasn't proc'd twice in one battle, surprisingly enough. Also, it helps to have Slay+16 lol

*corr doesn't proc all the time. But it can get bad if it procs multiple times in a fight and you can't get out of it. Fortunately multiple forms of tele exist, and in your case since it's a ring you can just take it off before it gets bad.

If it procs once, it's already worse than not wearing it.

I had a ring with rF, rC, 10 Int and Corrode. I was casting Tornado. It was a good ring.

Corrode is less bad if you first take off all your armour. Oh wait.

Honestly I've not had much trouble when I've worn *Confuse and *Corrode gear, it really doesn't seem to proc often at all.

I had a suit of armor on with Corrode a good while back (in 0.17), and it did proc "sometimes" but not constantly was my general feeling.

Assuming the item has some other awesomeness to make it worthwhile... I see the Corrode more as a multiplier of how things are going already. It wouldn't hurt in easy to mid-range fights, so you're fine in many cases if you have a tough character (as you should by the time many Corrode items show up? knock on wood maybe). But eventually it made the tougher fights really awful.
