Anyone else enjoying this? Two my of close friends who are consistent glads are pulling 35k in 120 second 3v3 (each) with their top abilities being their corruption traits by at least 15% every match. Keep in mind these are guys that know how to maximize their DPS rotation…mind flay and falling stars are doing 2.5x the fists of fury damage of my monk friend. People are dying in 3v3 in like .5 seconds.
I imagine this is either gonna smooth out when everyone is 470 or blizzard is gonna hotfix this ASAP. I’ve never seen people die so fast it’s insane.

I think the dmg smooths our as people get higher gear.
People using 66+ corruption items is def knee jerk rn but as people go from 445 to 465 and azerite gets higher the dmg sources will smooth out as wel.
I prefer the game faster paced. Would prefer higher dmg on builders in general and not artificial speeding up like this with gimmicky corruptions but it is what it is

Trinkets cant corrupt, i got 475 badge on ptr an it came with no corruption, every other piece i got from m+ or weekly box had some type of corruption, both from pve and pvp.

If people could actually do proper damage it wouldn’t be an issue. If this was other expansions we would be doing like 100k dps/hps single target. Just none of our main abilities hit for anything lol

We want tuning so that dmg comes from the buttons we press and not the random loot we get assigned by the rng gods
This will RUIN the PvP season if they don’t nerf it into the ground for pvp at least

Ya it is stupid but it’s better than tank trinkets, and all the good corruptions seem to have some counterplay

Leave it as is I say. I’d rather have the classes doing this damage but anything is better than the last two seasons, and we arent getting a sweeping change now.
exactly, corruption gear gives dmg outside of CD’s, that what many people have been asking for for quite a while now, the only downside is the way you get the gear (again purely RNG), but eventually people who do content regularly will have items of each corruption type so it will balance out on that front as well.
we won’t be getting this until next expansion if even (doubt it) so this is indeed better than the snorefest we were in until now, I mean matches literally last 10 minutes without anything happening because of the cooldown bingo.
almost every matchup was as scripted as it gets, especially on the higher ranks and this system is adding something with the potential to bring unpredictability which PvP desperately needs.
More damage in arena is 10x better than more healing in arena.
Nobody likes 10 minute dampeners. Don’t nerf corruption effects unless most classes get baseline dmg increases.

Skill is dead in arena…the rng gear monster ate it…every patch it gets worse. Until blizz goes back in time and reverts this try hard bs and equalizes classes then pvp.

It’s funny watching people wear too much and eat a ton of damage the entire time. I had 3 healers escape and los low last night, but they just fell over because they were over and died from the corruption effects.

Sounds like N’zoth has got you guys losing your insanity.

Definitely okay with these effects making games go exponentially quicker. However, since some of the top effects are doing like 15-25% of people’s damage, they really should just give us buttons to actively press to replicate at least some of this.

So what you’re saying is, I should do arenas on my MW with 176k health, and no cloak.

The only problem I have with it is that it’s all rng. There’s no real skill involved. Even which trait you are lucky enough to score is rng. Look at the one I currently have on my weapon and tell me it’s balanced when you consider that some people are killing folks outside of cd’s and cc setups.
This crap is ridiculous. It rewards LUCK, not better play.
