I zerg with a Spell breaker all the time, and not have a huge problem with corruptions. All you have to do is not get caught in the initial stun bomb, and then having 10 seconds of immunity to cause havoc before having to clear out of the AOE fields. A quick trip back to the Firebrands for a cleanse, punish any enemies that got separated from their supports, and by the time you're done, your defense skills should be coming off cool downs. If the fight is still going, you just wait for another opening to dive in, and dish out another round of bloody noses.
Because you're an overreach melee by intent, rapid repositioning is important. Its only an issue if a player is not good at doing that, or the Commander backs out of an attack after a push already started, leaving you high and dry after the first action. I frequently drop Berserker Stance for FeatherFoot Grace when the squad flip flops too much; letting me change positions or retreat if they fail to commit.
how do you get 10 seconds of immunity?
That came out kind of confusing I guess. If you take Last Stand instead of Cleaning Ire, you get 2 uses Balanced Stance, plus your resistance skills, plus one Endure pain on trait, and the manual one if you really think you need it. Its not hard immunity, but you're basically unkillable unless they completely pin you down..... which should be rare unless they have nothing else to target. You also melt fast once your defenses are down if you can't get rid of the conditions. This over commitment to pure sustain is done for one purpose.... to try and gum up the enemy mid-line and separate the back line, without being a total suicide run... and hoping the rest of your squad can push through the opening. Because if they don't, its a total suicide run.
My server has problems with maintaining a sufficient group comp.... so the hand full of us that do run the sustain core have to carry a lot harder then most of the servers we fight.
