I have been running 55 corruption since the 1st week. Not sure if it is just me or what but this week I started getting Tripple procs of the Thing from Beyond. Anyone else notice the proc rate seems to have gone up?

YES! I also noticed this. I have no idea what changed, if anything did, but i had never seen so many damn things yet. Its been crazy. I also started loggin in earlier before raids and lettin mobs bash on me to get procs outa the way. Seemed to stop the bursty craziness i was seein on wrathion
Several of my tank friends have seen thing from beyond proc increases on tank spec players only. When you switch to dps, it literally drops in proc rate.
Someone told me the spawn rate increases based on how much damage you have taken. If that’s the case it explains why it procs so often for tanks.

I don’t tank on my DH. Until this week I never had double or tripple procs. Now not only do I get them but quite often they are back to back. I know on the last reset they made some changes to it, since it was scaling its dmg for BM hunters and Warlocks. I bet they messed something up when they made those changes.
Even as dps I feel like the eyeball has a 90% up time now.

Yeah I got a triple proc of Thing from Beyond as well this past week. Certainly didn’t expect that.
Just got a triple proc - one hit me, causing the other 2 to despawn. Then another spawned, i ate it, and then a final one spawned from THAT damage. something is definitely off.
Edit: This is as Havoc. I never tank
Maybe because you proc the positive corruption effects more so its punishment.
I’m pretty sure at this point demon hunters PPMs are broken
I experienced this in a vision yesterday for the first time and then I was shocked when not 2-3 minutes later it did it again. The first time I got stunned and saw the Thing coming for me and just as he hit my toon I saw another pop up and then a 3rd while the second was still coming for me. I was like wth but I had a lot of mobs pulled so I kept fighting. The second time a few minutes later, I was again surrounded by a large group I had pulled and saw the Thing pop up. Then I saw the second and third ones pop about 1 second apart and I just used my cloak ability to become immune and make them disappear.
Both times this happened I was taking a ton of damage as I was surrounded by the large pulls I had initiated. I do think it is related directly to the amount of damage you are taking but this has not ever happened to me before this week. I’ve had 1-2 pop close to each other but never 3 in a row and so fast. I’m running 43 corruption after resistances.
TfB supposedly proc when you take damage, so they should proc more often for tanks.
That said, I haven’t run north of 40 corruption since the second week. Too much risk for a tank in dungeons.

Another problem is that it also spawns from our abilities. I have been fighting the target dummies and they spawn like crazy even whem im not taking dmg. However I think they changed something this week at reset. I have not gotten a double or tripple proc this week. I do get them spawing quickly between one another but never at the same time since the reset.
It’s very dangerous to run over 40 corruption on higher level content as a tank because they not only proc way more, but they also deal % total health damage.
Now as DPS I can easily run 100 corruption and still do just fine. We have enough tools to deal with corruption and I’m not usually that unlucky that 2 or 3 Things From Beyond proc at the same time often.
The biggest issue for me as a tank is being unable to reposition. You’re sort of rooted in place so you don’t send a cleave or tail swipe in the wrong direction, or because all the AOE is being spammed on top of you. So if an eyeball and Void pool spawn under you, careless moving can lead to a raid member dying.
