Corruptions..Fun and Punishing

Maybe I’m a little behind on this, but I still feel the need to vent about Corruptions… Is it me or do they just feel punishing in the sense that you can only have so much and you can’t restore Corruption to an item? I just got a weapon from LFR N’Zoth with +75 corruption that seems incredibly fun, and I wanted to be excited, but using it would mean removing the corruption from all my other items that are shared with my Holy spec. In addition, if by chance I get a different, higher IL weapon in the near future (which is highly possible as the weapon is only IL 440) with a less desirable Corruption, I’d want my other items’ Corruptions restored to use instead. I don’t do a lot of LFR or Mythic+; I do achievements, or just other casual stuff, or just dailies. New gear is sometimes few and far between. This just feels devastating.

Anyway, I guess I’ll sit here and think about it and eventually decide to “ruin” 3 of my items with decent Corruptions for this one with Twilight Devastation. I wish I could be excited about it. What’s frustrating is Blizzard has to be aware of this, probably just some idea to get people to player longer by making it harder to gear up properly.

Has it… corrupted your view of the game?

Other than certain madness combos that should never be paired together

“Split personality, Haunting Shadows”

Other than that and some fights being kinda poorly designed with 5mask on, they’re quite fun.

But I been enjoying them

generally I recommend to everyone to save non corrupted items for each slot, at least 1. that way they can easily swap off of a corrupted item to try a different build without ever having to cleanse anything.

I like it.

I like to jack my corruption to 90 and run old content as a way to make it interesting.

Yeah that’s exactly what they want.

Corruption is a horrible system.

We have almost little to no control over what Corruptions we want or get in terms of strength unless you’re already geared and grinded out to smack out Visions over and over again.

Since getting the backpack mog for the cape and getting exalted rep I have lost all interest in pushing any further. I can also live without doing the 5 masks for the mount and achievement. Not unless it gets nerfed into the ground or the madnesses are toned down significantly.

Cleanse Void Ritual and sim the rest of what you have on against the new 2 Hander you got.
