How much corruption is acceptable according to you ?
In M+
In raids.
I would say it depends on class and how u can deal with it. I dont wanna go above 39 myself. I have enough stuff to deal with in m+, i dont wanna be chased by an entity on top of all that and risking my group dies cause i’m running away from crap.
Depends on the group. In M+ PUGs, I’d keep it below 40.

There is no such thing as too much if you worship the great spaghetti monster…

In solo content and a spec like havoc which can deal with most corruption effects up to 79 is low key doable with the cloak rank 6 or higher (deal with any terrible luck with the cloak active like triple thing from beyond proc at the same time), purification protocol active (stuns the thing from beyond before it can reach you) and a stock of hp potions.
Wouldn’t go higher than 59 for group content and 39 for any challenging content. I tried LFR with 75 corruption and it was viable but any non trivial group content may be dangerous with so much corruption.
The thing from beyond can really mess with the boss mechanics I wouldn’t recommend using it.
In the open world, doing Assaults, WQ etc I just put on every corrupted piece I got, since there are no mechanics and corruption is the only thing you need to deal with. You can basically pull everything then and finish an assault in a handful of pulls if you’re lucky with the spawns.
Raid/M+ as tank below 40
As DPS it depends, but thing from beyond isn’t that hard to deal with, with the DK DPS utility (permaslow, stun etc)
Depends on your roll and class. I wouldn’t recommend tanking with too much Corruption, instead DPS can equip more corrupted items.
For M+, I’d say 39% for any DPS except Demon Hunter. If you roll a Demon Hunter you can more Corruption, up to 40%.
We could say Death Knight can wear more than 39% but I wouldn’t wear that much Corruption, especially for some dungeons.
For raids you can go higher.
I tried a few boss in Heroic with 53% and didn’t have many problems since you shouldn’t take much damage.
Then again, depends on the difficulty of the raid
Overall, I’d say 39% is fine if you don’t want to experience troubles.

Any is too much for me because I hate movement impairing effects more than any other mechanic in the game. If I can’t keep it below my cloak’s resistance, it gets cleansed.
I’d go lethal if I get 100k dps from them.
Alas, I have not even 1 good corruption.
39 for keys. My dps dont care, come in with high corruption and die constantly because the trash+ the thing from beyond reaches them and globals them down.
For heroic raid we could argue you can go above because the damage is so predictable but i would definitely stay under 60.
On the other hand i have some warriors in my guild who think more corruption more dps, going over 100 and die in raid every other boss.
93, anything above that and you get oneshot
Dies in 3 infinite stars corruptions
Depends what you are comfortable with yourself. I don’t like the chaser appartition, but could potentially deal with the eye circle. Depends a little on how crowded an instance is, and affixes. I am not sure Tol’dagor with Sanguine, Quaking and the eye would be all that great…

Would you do Tol’Dagor with 39 corruption, Sanguine and Quaking? 
I am not sure I would.
But yeah, other than those special cases 39 would be fine.
Probably not… 
not an issue so far, still kinda lacking in the corrupted items department.
I ran 73, down to 65 after cloak upgrade and manage fine.
If you’re a high CC or mobility class running upto 79 corruption is fine if you know how to handle it and worst case scenarios you have cloak to dispell + whatever big defensive CDs your class may have.
In raids its fine, you can outrun the add (I tested while Megaera bugged on me 
), eye can be tanked and with a minor defensive you won’t even go below 60, though for your healers sake just move out of it and stack up again when able to.
In tight spaced M+ like TD or Waycrest I’d say don’t go above 39 though, too little place to properly kite the thing from beyond, but that’s just my opinion.
TL;DR run with what you can handle, hunters and mages in particular can deal with high corruption without big issues due to CC and mobility.
I got an axe there have a 75 corrruption and it’s around 36% for me. so when would i be able to use it?
We did Toldagor 15 last week with too much corruption, its not possible to move from the eye and that along with the normal damage was too much. We ended up going to to remove corruption. Then one guy left so we 4 manned the boss
