Finally managed to get an ascension with all upgrades in the staff
Battlemage with the Staff of Corruption becomes absurdly fun on high levels. The only issue is survival without tough armor.

Camouflage is a decent match for the staff of corruption. I had transmutated a mage skill for the rogue's "don't wake enemies unless adjacent" skill on my corruption run and it was going pretty good with the monsters fighting each other while I explored and drank tea. I also had a wand of blast to yeet those who would get too close.
It's been a while, but I remember it was a good fun run.
Yeah, that works together well. Also Elemental Blast with the Corruption (which makes all nearby enemies amok) is great for crowd control — sneak near, trigger, bail and let them fight among themselves.
I tried this with a wand of lightning. I got the staff to +12 before a succubus killed my mage. The wand's limited to ranged targets, and my scale armor +2 only made the demons laugh.
