Corruption Effects Adjustments Incoming

Can you imagine a skittish week?
Bad enough that my DH can already spike 100k on a small pack with just his own abilities. Can you imagine if I had Echoing void+ twilight devastation going off all at once?

Here is how ignorant some players are.

I have Twilight Devastation. My HP with stacking is about 740. (133k)
My HP as a DPS player? About 440k.(79.2)
So, hey, twilight devastation is 31% weaker on my DPS. Seems balanced right?
Not really.

My DPS as a DPS is what? Three times that of my tank on a bad day?
This just makes the gap between DPS damage and tank Damage even greater now.
DPS is stil two to three times higher than a tank even if the tank is using a rank 3 TD and the DPS has nothing.

Considering how hard mobs scale in terms of HP/damage. High damage tanks such as Paladins and Warriors will be more popular while everyone else falls further and further behind.
Shoot, I think I’ll just swap to my warrior or paladin full time now. My DK and DH are not worth playing unless they’re DPSing.

My old versions are reduced.

I disenchant all the corruption I get. I play on a Mac, so I haven’t gotten to play much of this patch.

Why suffer?
Play on a PC.
Even better… a Linux ran PC.

Did a FH with a prot pally lastnight who was pulling 90k dps at the end of decent pulls (6-8mobs), which was higher than the two feral players we had. Meta group, I know, lol.

Tanks have all sorts of ways at the moment to do good dmg, without these nerfs it was way out of hand, could argue it even still is.

No argument from me on what you said about DPS. I’ve got trash corruptions, and it’s highly irritating performing worse than players i’ve outperformed in previous seasons, purely because they’ve got lucky and I haven’t.

Isn’t the MDI on tournament servers? Or only the finals? If so, pretty sure they can pick their gear, so at least it won’t be RNG on who got drops. You can guarantee it’s going to be a joke though, as you say.

Really interested to see how many more hotfixes Blizz will rush through before it. However many it is, that’s the state of tuning the patch should’ve gone live at.

That is your problem right there.
Feral is AWFUL, at dropping burst damage for AoE. That’s like expecting burst AOE from a destruction lock. I love feral but its not a good class for bursting mobs down. Great for longer stuff where their damage has time to tick into effective. Garbage otherwise.
My DH and DK can both drop over 150k wthout corruptions for AOE with ease.

honestly, every raid drop should have corruption on it. i already stopped raiding nyalotha after killing nzoth becuase really, whats the point? a blue ring with a corruption effect does more for your dps than anything in there without it. the design is horrible. why should i sit in a raid fighting trash for 2 hours when statistically none of the drops are worthwhile?

Wish by doing Dailies you could build up a little corruption tolerance as you go along toward Exalted…
