So I have read a few of the posts about corruption gear where people have suggested things but not really suggested how to truly improve the system as a whole so I actually thought of a way. So when it comes to cleansing to make a lot of people happy just add to Mother a partial corruption cleanse so that we can just reduce the tier of corruption on a piece so we can keep the effect if we like it but not remove it so we can keep our corruption where we want to. Another part is to add something entirely new to Mother and that is the big one. So the big thing is give Mother the ability to corrupt everyone’s gear with any corruption effect at tier 1 with the higher tier requiring the players to unlock them by getting a piece with it.
Now the requirement for the higher tiers I would say make account wide acquisition so that it is a lot more alt friendly and main friendly. Now the big part of this people will want to stack certain corruptions well the fix for that is to do one big thing and that is make corruptions have a limit of 1 for each effect as in no more than one echoing void, void ritual, glimpse. In other words can’t stack the same effect but can have multiple still so you could make say a set that is for aoe/m+ or one that is more single target focused since we all know someone out there would do that if this does get put in.
Now keeping with the BFA mota of ilvl is always an upgrade, well the really good corruption effects do this and by adding the ability to corrupt gear to players adds more player agency and keeps with the mota by allowing them to corrupt a piece of gear that is a massive ilvl and stat upgrade instead of keeping a piece that is say 30+ ilvls lower because it has one of the top tier effects. This would also make crafted gear useful too because an example being my toon itself, I really want to make the crafted boots but I have tier 3 EV and because of that can’t replace my boots until i get another EV and if I could corrupt the crafted boots I would totally do so this very second instead of typing this up.
-Edit- The “BFA mota” is a joke part but being able to corrupt our own gear would make ilvl a tiny bit more meaningful.
They need to permit anyone without a cloak to cleanse their gear for free.
Keep in mind that when Ion said ilvl should always be an upgrade, he was just kidding. Nothing they have done since would support the idea that this is a goal of theirs.
Yeah they have failed miserably at this. Even without corruption, secondary stats are scaling way faster than main stat. Currently 1 point of crit is worth roughly 4 points of strength for me, and other classes are even more lopsided.
If you want to be competitive in raids you pretty much need a raidbots premium subscription.
You don’t actually need like the premium stuff or the best in bags feature. You can just use pawn and a stat sim should be like 98% accurate for a general idea and then compare sim the possible upgrades or build combos and get pretty close. Just frequently update your stat weights every few days or so or pre que the sim 2 minutes before you need it.
Plus whatever combo best in bags might get might be like +0.57% damage over say, run pawn stat weights once, equip new gear, re run with new weights, adjust and resim. Ez 5 minutes. but the best in bags feature might choose like a -25 with perfect itemization but low ilvl so that 0.57% dps best in bags might cost like -30k health and 3-6 minus item levels. Even if it might theoretically sim better and do good in a guild, pugs are dumb and a -8% dps 465 random highest ilvl gear might looks better to them than a +0.57% dps 458 best in bags or 463 pawn build.
Fresh 120’s with 265 gear shouldn’t be doing the latest content. There are plenty of other catch up mechanics. Try bowling without the bumpers up, you’ll get better faster.
Those fresh 120’s are getting corruptions on their 265 gear that they get as part of doing the content they’re supposed to, with no cloak/essence corruption resistance or way to cleanse it since corruption replaced the warforge/titanforge system for ALL BfA content. That IS a small issue.
That’s not true. Only content relevant in 8.3 can corrupt, and all other content previously can still forge up. Go run EP, guarantee you won’t see any corruption but you might see some forging up, to a maximum of 455.
