Drown+Flood+Trespass+Suppress
Backup Magazine
With several, Corrupted Flood can be spammed and even keeps you airborne.
Your secondary skill (right click) gets one more use before its cooldown. Each extra magazine, one more.
Stacking: Each copy adds the same, no cap.
Watch out: More uses, but it does not lower the secondary cooldown. Lets Engineer place more mines.
Essence of Heresy
Corrupted Drown fires so fast it stacks Ruin quickly (you lose Suppress).
Replaces your special skill: your hits mark enemies and using it blows up every mark at once, wherever they are.
Stacking: Each copy adds the same, no cap.
Tougher Times
He spends a lot of time up close in corrupted form.
Sometimes a hit that would land does nothing: with one bear, 13% of hits. More bears raise the chance, but less each time: it never reaches 100%.
Stacking: Each bear adds less: one blocks 13% (not the 15% the game says) and ten block 60%. It never reaches 100%.
Watch out: Luck (Clover) does not affect it. A blocked hit does not trigger enemy effects either, like Overloading Elite bombs. It does not stop Void Reaver implosions.
