How to deal with Corrupting Blood ?

I play with Cyclone + multistrike, i have about 10 attacks per second. I have 5.3k hp and 13k armor with grace and determination.
In the messy 6 people maps, i usually dont realize that a rare mob has this affix before i will attack him.
The fact is i am used to seeing my life sometimes drop due to desync and not leeching from LGoH, and at this point i only use my /oos bind to solve the problem. But when i realize my life drops farther than 3 quarters or half HP i realize it is due to corrupting blood. At this point i only have like half a second or maybe even less (the rest of my life pool) to react before i die. Sometimes i manage to pop the staunchering in the delay, sometimes not, too short.
So this affix is extremely frustrating, pretty much the only thing that i will die off in maps, and i cant quite find a reliable way to deal with it. I am at a point where i cant even grind xp efficiently, so i am just spending time for nothing. My last five deaths have been on GMP Dominus in Palace, some unique boss with flying books and bad scaling affixes, and 3*corrupting blood.
Thank you in advance for your suggestions.

if you are hell bent on having 10aps cyclone with multistrike - there is nothing you can do

this affix - crudely, true, true - makes people think before going attack speed full banana

You are not really allowed to think in 6 people public games, sir, because of the clear speed being so fast.

increasing your armor may help, since it's a physical DOT calculated on some base dmg defined by the rare mob; but not all the time, sometimes u may meet a beast with increased dmg aura that will -substiantially- wipe your a..

I already have a pretty high armor (13k+ without flasks, but with both grace and determination).

have a "staunching" (bleed removal) affix on one of your health flasks.
you'll spam them anyway when your health starts to drop, so any Puncture or bleed stack (from Corrupting Blood) is dispelled.

alternatively, replace one of the support gems in your Cyclone setup with

you'll lose some DPS, but this little gem in a Cyclone can make you out-leech pretty much any damage that's not a one-shot, including 20 stacks of Corrupting Blood.

though personally, I'd get rid of Multistrike.
put it on some auxiliary skill like Infernal Blow (if 2-hander or 1-hand + shield) or Dual-Strike (if dual-wielding).
you'll have more control while spinning, and get less desync.

I do 7.25 aps with reave and multistrike and its no problem with this

Hey,
I already have 2 staunching flasks and LGoH.

in that case, you are experiencing a bad case of "Desynchronitis".

Corrupting Blood in itself isn't a bad affix. it was one of the main threats back in Nemesis, but a hell of a lot more fair than Storm Herald for example.
desync however, makes it a monster - by effectively nullifying your primary defense which is leech.

get rid of Multistrike to make your spin-to-win more playable, even if less hard-hitting and more mouse-intensive.
put it on an auxiliary skill like I posted.

I am not dying because of desync in itself but due to the huge and instant "surprise" life degen. If there were no desync in this game, i could always attribute the big life loss to corrupting blood, but i sometimes have big life drop due to desynccing and no leech. It is just that when it is corrupting blood, i am thinking the life drop could come from desync, which happens more often and that i am used to. That is why i am asking if there is any reliable mechanic that i could use to avoid dying from it, as the reaction time can be extremely short to react (1 or 2 seconds before dying).

I have a build with 5 APS that shoots into offscreen enemies. Just pay attention to your debuffs(as you should). I also use vaal cyclone blindly and sometimes get CB enemies.

If your group is indeed clearing fast all you need is one use of that flask(at 20 corrupted stacks) for 95% of CB rares.

Thanks for your answer,
Though as i said before, I sometimes dont have time to pop the flask as i only have 1 or 2 seconds to react if i didnt realize before attacking him (which happens most of times) that the mob had CB. This delay sometimes is enough, but sometimes is not. And that is a big problem as it is not reliable.
Still looking for a solution :)
