Anyone have any tips/tricks or a good guide for corping? I want to get into it, but don't know where to start
You should find a team on the forums, if you've never done it before, I don't suggest soloing it. In addition, if you're rich, bring a Statius Warhammer to special it and lower it's defense. If not, still bring it, it's not very expensive. Also use spears to damage it. Zamorakian spear is good I believe.
^ This. I'd go with a BGS assuming you don't want to spend much on a SWH. SWHs are only good for soloing anyway, unless you're in a team that uses SWH then I wouldn't mind using it. It just wouldn't be fair if you're the only one using a degradable weapon against corp. Zammy spear is the best. Bring Ganodermic armor. Pray melee when it's attacking you, and soul split to heal.
