On the slate of 8.3 loot corrupted gear is going to proc 4 more chances at RNG. It’s like you guys relieve yourselves from a second story rooftop and try to convince me it’s raining.
Can we pvpers just skip this noise and just get our vendors back ? I don’t care about your terrible high school level written post-cataclysm lore. It’s terrible. Bwonsamdi was cool though.
Can I just do the one thing I still find enjoyable in the game (or at least used to) without having to kill AI pixels with a terrible sorry arc attached to it ?
what 4 sets of RNG? corrupted or not, which corruption, and how much. what’s the 4th one? the corruption stat itself is directly tied to how much of the bonus perk you get so that isn’t RNG.
and you can purify the item if it is corrupted and you just don’t want to deal with it (either not the right corruption or it puts you over a desired corrupted threshold) simply by going to the heart chamber and talking to magni/MOTHER
well yeah you lose the positive effect, the whole thing is a risk vs reward system. if you can deal with the negative then you get to take advantage of the positive. also there are the new essences and the legendary cape that will reduce the amount of corruption stat you have which will reduce the severity of whatever negative effects you face (or even remove one of the possibilities if it lowers you below the 20/40/60 thresholds)
But you don’t have to grind PvP for Conflict and Strife. You only need to hit 1000 rating for rank 2, which takes maybe an hour because you don’t lose rating under 1000. After that you need 1 win per week in that bracket, but the conquest capping can be done without any PvP at all by doing incursions with war mode on. Very easy to cap. I wouldn’t call that grinding. Blood of the Enemy, sure, but not Conflict and Strife.
