So far I’ve been playing 8.3 on this druid and a mage alt only. I always help remove corruption/curse whenever I saw someone with that debuff because I know how annoying it is, throwing me off my threshold in the middle of a rare fight and spawned thing from beyond on me.
They gutted Echoing Void. It went from 9-12% ST dmg to 5% for my rank 3’s. Aoe it is still not much better. Twilight Devistation just takes a dump on it in all situations. They also gutted Gushing Wounds, it’s just a shame. They really should have just made the Corruptions Unique so you couldn’t equip more than 1 copy and that would have fixed the issues. With the current damage EV and GW are doing they should reduce the corruption values by a thrid, IMO

It was fun before now it’s just meh at best.
Them nerfs yo. It isn’t worth the corruption cost at this point.

Wait for it…
Gear procs being signifigant portions of your DPS feels bad and is dumb.

Imagine halving a corruption and doubling another and the one you halved is still better LMFAO.

So when all is said and done, going through the effort to get this cloak ranked up and equipping corruptions over higher ilvl gear (that has more armor and stamina) is supposed to improve your tank dps by 5%?

That’s the state of balancing with corruption. It’s been so poorly thought out and tested that the 5% and 10% adjustments we SHOULD be seeing - are instead 50%, 100%. I’d bet money that it still won’t even be close to balanced.
A bunch of people have said it before. A few dungeon runs from devs trying different corruptions should’ve produced something more refined than this, in terms of tweaking the numbers.
Failing that, how about LISTENING to people on the PTR who have been very vocal about how broken numerous things are.
Mingboggling.

Yeah WTF, it’s like completely clunky. When Infinite stars was 300% ahead of other corruptions. (25k-30k dps from a single trait, more than some 420 gd lfr heros), it was nerfed only 25% from 25-30k dps to 20-25k dps. While the next second best corruption was then Untouched void at 10-18k which was a garbo corruption at #2 then only half the strength of #1. Then there are 20 corruptions literally that aren’t worth equiping as it’s more damage than bonus to equip them. If corruptions are gonna deal 100k-300k damage to you every 30 seconds, isn’t it supposed to be at least worth 100k-300k given out?
Instead, if blizzard keeps going this route, we’re gonna see people with like 10 damage per corruption corruptions that deal like a whopping 182 dps per 75 corruption and damage your character by 200k every 30 seconds. How valuable.

OK for DPS or Healers to use an OP ability but god forbid a tank does…

“Takes a look at LFG”
20x 3 dps groups, healer groups, need tank groups.
Look at tank spec.
“You may be completely nerfed at any point of time and unviable for solo content don’t let 8.2 remind you that you were only tier 6/6 for Raiding UNTIL hp based corruptions came around.”
To all the tanks complaining, what sort of m+ groups did you want to see? 4x warrior tanks and a disc priest? Or 5x high self-healing tanks?
Could’ve well got there with how it was. Massive pulls with high health tanks aoe’ing stuff down and sharing the dmg load.
Except for the fact it was only in AOE that tanks were doing such amazing damage, and even then, those were high HP tanks, and even then, DPS has access to the same corruption effects.
There were several requirements, and many of those requirements can be fulfilled by DPS. Let alone echoing void and Twilight devastation needed to be stacked to do such insane damage which would never occur outside of raids.
If you were outDPS’ed by a tank, then its probably your DPS spec or they’re stacking a lot ofcorruption. high risk high reward.
now its high risk, no reward.

To bad good dps with busted corruption are spiking to 300k dps on normal sized trash pulls in m+ and ending keys with upwards of 90K+ average dps. Nobody was thinking of bringing 4-5 tanks with EV when you have dps that are hitting ridiculous numbers on small pulls.
Can’t wait to see what kind of stupid numbers we see during the MDI with prot warriors pulling entire rooms and all these corruption affixes going off for dps. The MDI is going to come down to who got RNG procs of their busted corruption affix when the warrior pulls the entire room. That will decide who wins now not the most skilled team. RNG procs at the right time. Not sure how twilight dodged the nerf bullet all the top logs have switched to it now. The dps at 460+ struggling to hit 40k average dps are doing it wrong even without good corruption.

Apparently only new drops of it are reduced as the two pieces with it I had already are still 10 and 15
