So, whose amazingly garbage idea was it for corruption to have an inherent slow that lasts the full duration of corruption?
I swear, you people NEVER think of how some of these abilities will affect your game. Garbage addition to PVP.

The same guy who thought frozen arrow was a good idea.

apparently the same guy who thought giving mages life cocoon every 30 seconds and an obnoxiously short CD on DB was a good idea (oh and the PvP talents that make them even tankier like reduced damage from DoTs, 15% less chance to be crit, 50% less damage taken for 3 seconds after blinking etc.) and allowing them to still have ring of frost despite being fire.
Trust me, most locks would much rather be tankier than have to completely rely on the legendary to be viable(and even then you still get dumped on by good melee cleaves once you start pushing 2300-2400+) and have aff reworked. Aff is currently the best spec at inducing depression and frustration for both the person playing it and the people who have to play against it.

This makes me laugh, gpie was not the problem last expansion, it was a -1sec cast chaos bolt that took half your health.
Oh no guys it’s a little early for the warlock vs mage who’s more op arguements don’t ya think?

It was both and you know it. I will say that destro was the bigger problem though.

Lul, mages were not tankier than an actual tank last expansion either. I saw, on multiple occasions, a warlock face tank melee cleave and be completely unphased while two shotting their healer.
are we really going to pretend that destro and mage werent both by far the best casters of bfa by a land slide and required zero IQ to decently play?
or did you accidentally alter time to before you developed brain cells?

Yea, but the corruption can only be removed once every 8 seconds and is spammable so it will be placed right back on you again. Whereas a mage shield can be constantly dispelled quickly in any random BG by the plethora of priests and shamans I see. And the mage shields are on longer cooldowns compared to that spammable corruption that will be on you 100% of the time.

This is what I mean, and if the corruption is cleansed then they know you will not have cleanse for a fear. This combined with the fact that it lasts faaaaaaaaaar too long for an instant-cast ranged slow.
db’s always had a short cd. the problem with fire is their damage window / off gcd spells. Not db. DB’s become a problem because of the simplicity of fires damage. Imagine if fire blast was on gcd. How much slower and more managable fire’s TTK would be.
and…? So?
If a melee are hitting a fire mage with triune ward theyre also slowed 50% the entire time they hit the mage as well.
Fire mage is also 10x better than aff is so I fail to see your point here. Yeah, no one really likes corruption slow, including the locks who are forced into playing it just so aff can be semi viable. Like you say this as if its just a matter of “purge mage shield 5head” and that fire mage is easily countered while aff lock somehow isnt…? Youd have a modicum of a point if aff was OP and fire mage was in the position aff is in, but theres a reason why fire mage is only behind arms warrior for DPS in representation above 2.4k while aff lock is at like…1% representation.

If we have 1-2 melee on us that barrier is out within three seconds, which is typically a stun.
Thx for making my day with this one

I was referring to BGs where most people play. That includes random and rated BGs.
