Casting Corrupting Fever costs life instead of mana. Spending enough life while the Corrupting Fever buff is active will refresh its duration; the spent life threshold is much lower than the cost of Corrupting Fever itself.
Inflicting a new stack of corrupted blood on a target will refresh the duration of all stacks currently on that target, as is common with all corruped blood mechanics.[1]
Hits do not need to deal damage in order to inflict corrupting blood stacks.
As it does only Damage Over Time, it is not affected by modifiers to Spell Damage.
Proxies such as Totems, Traps and Mines will not inflict corrupted blood on hit as they cannot inherit the Corrupting Fever buff from the player.[2]

The following helmet enchantments affect Corrupting Fever.
Note that helmet enchantments are no longer obtainable since version 3.23.0 and can only be obtained in permanent leagues as already enchanted items from before this patch.
The skill gem's description erroneously describes the debuff inflicted as "Corrupting Blood"; however, the Helmet Enchantment and gem quality correctly lists the debuff as Corrupted Blood, which it shares mechanics with other sources of.

Changes
3.15.0
Removed "Triggering this Skill still requires paying its Cost". [Undocumented This change was not documented by any official sources. It was discovered through player testing or datamining.]
Hits do not need to deal damage in order to inflict corrupting blood stacks. As it does only Damage Over Time, it is not affected by modifiers to Spell Damage.
Corrupting Fever applies Corrupted Blood. Corrupted Blood is only a debuff, not an ailment, which is why the effect of Corrupted Blood does not depend the damage or damage type of the hit that inflicted it.
Physical damage over time can be inflicted with the bleed ailment. Every 10 points of strength give a 2% bonus to physical damage from melee attacks. The Iron Grip keystone passive extends this bonus to also apply to physical damage from projectiles. The Iron Grip Support gem applies the same effect to a single skill.
The exact number is 35,791,394, or (231 - 1) / 60, or the damage cap divided by 60 seconds in a minute (as damage over time is internally calculated per minute instead of per second).
Corrupted blood can also be completely avoided by using a jewel with the corrupted implicit modifier Corrupted Blood cannot be inflicted on you. A non-jewel Delve mod of the same mod text, can also be found in the Azurite Mine.
Spits corrupted blood, inflicting 350 Shadow damage every 2 sec. This has a chance to spread to nearby players. Spits corrupted blood, inflicting 350 Shadow damage every 2 sec.
Because armour does not grant damage reduction against damage over time, only additional damage reduction mitigates Corrupted Blood, for example from endurance charges. It can also be mitigated by modifiers to damage taken, such as the Pantheon's Soul of Ralakesh or Immortal Call.
You can modify the socket color, number, and links of a corrupted item using the Crafting Bench at your Hideout, but it will cost additional Vaal Orbs equal to the number of currency items the recipe normally requires.
Bleeding, or bleed, is an ailment that deals physical damage over time to the affected target. Moving targets suffer increased bleeding damage. Only physical damage hits can inflict bleed. There are no sources of global chance to bleed or chance to bleed with spells.
For most people, normal is roughly 98.6° Fahrenheit (37° Celsius). “Low-grade” means that the temperature is slightly elevated — between 98.7°F and 100.4°F (37.05°C and 38.0°C) — and lasts for more than 24 hours. Persistent (chronic) fevers are typically defined as fevers lasting more than 10 to 14 days.
Corrupted Blood is an uncollectible neutral spell card, generated by. Hakkar, the Soulflayer, from the Rastakhan's Rumble set. For more information, see. Hakkar, the Soulflayer.
Blade Vortex (often referred to as BV) is a spell that creates an ethereal blade that spins around the caster that deals physical damage, each blade lasting for the minimum duration of 5 seconds.
From level 12, after killing Merveil, you'll be given access to Toxic Rain. It is an exquisite leveling skill and will easily carry you through the leveling process. Wither setup, like we explain in our gem section.
Spell Damage does not increase healing done by spells, and does not increase damage dealt from non-spell sources such as Hero Powers, Deathrattles or Battlecries. Spell Damage increases the damage dealt by any spell, with only a few exceptions: Spell Damage increases the cost of minions summoned from.
As poison deals damage over time, stats modifying spell damage and attack damage do not apply to poison. Modifiers such as Reap's Modifiers to Spell Damage apply to this Skill's Damage Over Time effect do not affect poison.
Spell Damage boosts the damage dealt by healing spells affected by Auchenai Soulpriest and Embrace the Shadow, since they are turned into spells with damaging effects. Spell Damage boosts damaging Secrets (such as Eye for an Eye and Explosive Trap), since they are spells.
