Non-Empowered Corruption

[saga286]

Is it worth playing around with Corruption before getting into Empowered Monoliths? I'm not trying to rush, just want to enjoy the slow grind as I figure out how I want to play my character. I'm Lvl 81 at the moment. I would I assume once I hit 100, I should go switch to empowered.

go straight to empowered

I appreciate the response. Is it possible you could explain why I should rush to empowered?

[saga286]

I am still feeling out my build and don't want to push too far where it becomes too difficult for me

[asdaf]

well if u beat the level 90 monolilths lvl 100 empowered is not much harder

It's pointless to grind non empowered monoliths.

1. Blessings you can farm from bosses are half as effective;
2. Boss uniques either don't drop or drop at an even lower chance;
3. You get less xp and loot quality.

You really want to rush to empowered asap, unless you are struggling at normal monos because you are figuring out the game at your own pace, coming up with your own builds, constantly respeccing to see what works, etc.

You can always go back to regular. L100 is not a short grind. That said, the only real benefits (listed by the game guide) are that the targeted rewards spawn for echoes much more often, and you get access to the 'grand' blessings, which are a nice bump in power.

Switch it as soon as possible. When I play after done all of normal Monolith I switch to Empower, My character LV 82-83.

If your build can handle empowered monos might as well do them. Don't need to wait until you're level 100

Thank you all for the responses. I will try to get there as fast as possible then.

Another reason to go for empowered monos is that in regular monos, Corruption cannot ever go above 50, whereas in Empowered it starts baseline at 100 and can go up with no cap.
