Abilities & Strategy
Corrupted Blood
Exposure to several of Cho'gall's abilities increases a player's Corruption level. For each point of Corruption they have, players suffer 2% additional damage from Cho'gall's Corruption of the Old God ability.
Corruption: Accelerated
When Corrupted Blood reaches 25%, a player gains Corruption: Accelerated, which rapidly increases their Corruption level.
Corruption: Sickness
When Corrupted Blood reaches 50%, players periodically become violently ill. They vomit and inflict Shadow damage to players within a 5 yard long 20 degree cone in front of them. Players hit by this vile spew suffer increased Corruption.
Corruption: Malformation
When Corrupted Blood reaches 75%, the corruption is so thorough that a tentacle Malformation erupts from a player's back. The tentacle periodically casts Shadow Bolts at the player's allies, inflicting Shadow damage.
Corruption: Absolute
When Corrupted Blood reaches 100%, players fully transform into faceless horrors. While in this state players cannot be healed, but inflict 100% additional damage and cast spells instantly.
Stage One: Chaos Comes!
Conversion
Cho'gall beckons to the weak of mind, causing random players to abandon their loyalties and begin to Worship Cho'gall. Worshipping Cho'gall grants him one application of Twisted Devotion every 3 sec.

Fester Blood
