We all had to learn somewhere… 90% of the people tanking today just do it because they are too impatient for dps queues and finding groups.
EDIT: Good, now make it so that it can’t crit and boom! Problem solved on AoE.
I’m gonna have to disagree with that. Throwing out a 50% damage nerf is honestly just sloppy. They need to balance it not just nerf it. Make it so that it’s X% of overall damage that way when someone gets it they don’t just cleanse it because it’s useless. Make it so that it’s useful for both tanks and dps.
especially considering the reduced threat modifier, and how fast dps damage is scaling up.
but that’s ok. keep nerfing tank damage.
Maybe if it is constantly so, but if it is based on procs or RNG I’d still take the pure DPS over another tank. Personally, I’d rather tanks maintain a 60-70% range on pure DPS, maybe more IF the tank in question has mitigation or self sustaining based on damage done (DK, DH, etc)
Maybe then DPS will learn to back the F off. Most things that would be one shotting a DPS are either a) avoidable or b) a sign they took aggro. In the case of the second, a nerf like this to tank DPS could mean DPS have to dial it back a bit.
People are already doing this type of thing via Raider IO, so what is the difference. 
Garbage. Leveling and maintaining a tank is ugly. We finally got some damage out in the world and the DPS whined we were doing 75% off their AOE damage. It’s okay though. I’ll jus switch and burn through mobs like everyone else.
Don’t worry. Tanks just don’t deserve nice things, people. Obviously the role is intended for masochistic individuals who don’t want any benchmark of success except “I lived”.

Get over it, OP. We’re in a day and age where appropriately geared tanks gear for damage output 99% of the time because you don’t need to gear for survival except in <1% scenarios, ie world first. If they wanted to actually balance this, corruptions would be retuned to do more for DPS specs. This change is not balancing anything, it’s a sloppy kneejerk reaction, except it’s a kneejerk reaction to information Blizzard has had since PTR. They chose to release it in this state.
Oh, and this corruption nerf isn’t going to do DPS any favors either. Just saying.

We’ll see lol… Since you want to brag and talk smack, like I said, I’ll make sure to check up on you in a week or two and see how well you’ve managed without the easymode EV training wheels. I’d bet your timed keys drop a couple levels.
theres literally no point in communicating with you.
you’re a trap alt with a small brain complex who is scared gaming in a closet.
good luck on your low skill and low item level

Ooof, those words hurt so much that I think I’ll have to cancel my accounts. They are like daggers to my soul… No more, no more, you win!

You realize Tanks were finally having fun. Running keys. Playing the content thats been out FOREVER now that others still want to play. HEnce, tanks who tank having fun means more legit groups for DPSers. Ive been tanking for as long as I can remember. Now, why play when anything fun gets nerfed. Its just the same game again that it’s been the whole expansion. Your healers were using it too. Now they may quit because what fun is not being able to dps and heal. Its the new META. Its the end of the expansion who effing cares. The system will be gone in shadowlands. So, I guess, thank you for helping me decide on cancelling my sub again until Shadowlands.
Just another subpar DPS who can’t compete so has to bring the world down to their level. OR someone who is afraid of losing a top spot on .io because they didn’t hit the lotto.

im sorry, i was that tank most likely.
i ususally have a setup for pve thats less super hp turtle and more speedy fast proccing buffs. also what people have said.
i do lots of aoe.
sweet sweet aoe damage is my jam.
it was worse in legion, when i was the top dps, as a tank.
People in this forum talking about EV nerf removing power creep to compensate for TF/WF are pretending that EV is the only corruption.
The point of this is to balance out corruption and make them more equal. This was the exact problem with legion legendaries. There’s 8 but only 2 are relevant and powerful enough to be competitive and if you’re the unlucky ones to get anything else you’re not as relevant as other people.
(I say above logically but truth is I don’t have EV and only VR so I’m glad EV is getting balanced closer to VR — cause I’m salty af :P)
Titanforging is bad because it breaks gear progression - and a personal sense of satisfaction from drops right in half. Not because ‘billy bob got a better drop than me and I’m jealous!’.
Corruption, sadly, has the very same problem it did: It’s possible to get an item you really wanted, and feel disappointed because it dropped with the ‘wrong’ procs.
So is everyone grinding for EV instead of TF now?
I never saw it that way - I always felt that it extended gear progression; on top of providing an influence to run lower end content with guildees and friends because there was still a small chance I could get an upgrade.
Without that - a lot of people would likely not bother with the lower content; which diminishes the community engagement.

Avoidance does not help as the mass majority of tank killing abilities are entirely single target based.
Versatility stat increases are minor even if you run a dedicated corruption spec towards it. You clearly have little understanding of the matter.
“unfair”? why is the tank doing MORE damage unfair? it doesn’t affect your damage output at all. I realize arguing for this now is futile as the nerfs are already happening, but quit complaining about how someone else’s damage is “unfair” in your eyes. the damage was fine, it wasnt as insane as you are making it out to be, especially if it only procs off of 2 or 3 stacks. (remember, it has an RNG component built into it)
I feel there are better ways to incentivize running old or ‘obsolete’ content than providing really good gear through pure RNG.
Tokens, for example. Those kept people running older dungeons pretty much as long as they existed, without devaluing gear progression in the slightest - in fact, the bad luck protection they granted by their mere existence made getting gear better.
