If you don't play a lot it's gonna take longer in terms of days played. That's normal, that's what life is, and games are part of life. Things take time, you have to put the time in, and that's it. Some dude next to you can play more and will get it down before you, some other dude will never get it down, this isn't a race or anything and it's normal to be behind some people.
You seem to be looking for an easy answer kind of like "what class is the best!?!?" when it just depends on you, some people have an easy time dealing with the corruption effects, some do better with less, and all of this changes with every new effect you get and switch things up, there will never be one official final answer, in the same fashion that most guides offer a basic suggestion but it's not always the best builds, hence why many "pros" play something different than the typical icy veins builds you see.
You just gotta play it dude, not just sit there calculator in hand trying to figure out the secret number.
