It should have been, that doesn’t mean it still shouldn’t be.
Haha. You were flagged by all the Blizz employees masquerading around like real players. The truth hurts them.

It also depends on if the weapon specific corruptions are purchasable (I expect not).
For WW at least;
Single target:
GW was 15% above IS and 35-40% above Twisted appendage and lash of the void.
Post nerf it’ll be basically equal to TA and lash and behind IS (considering how Is sucks for everything but 3 fights) whixh seems pretty in line.
Aoe:
Lash is way higher than everything, like 40-45% over TD and GW but limited again to the Raden Weps.
Post nerf it’ll be lower than TD.
So overall it went from the absolute best non-weapon specific corruption in all cases to still the best for single target (except for 3 fights) and relatively equal to TA and lash and fairly behind TD in aoe but still 3rd (again, behind lash).
Will have to check other specs.

Nice troll post, flag incoming in 3… 2… 1…
Well I kinda meant overall not just the whole gushing wounds thing. The only people I think that should be rightfully upset are those who spent a bunch of gold on boe specifically trying to buy gushing wounds. I can understand why they wouldn’t be happy about that.
That’s the risk they assumed when they bought the stuff.
This is precisely why I horded all of my corruption pieces and cleansed nothing.
Good luck with those covenant abilities. That’s going to be fantastic.
35% nerf to your selected covenant. Now go grind for 3 weeks to join a new one. Oof.

Well they made that choice, and now they have to live with the consequences of said choice. Sucks for them, but is what it is. Noone said life is fair.
Ooo I forgot about lash, but oof, if it’s limited to Raden weapons I’m boned because those are agi weapons. 
Can u link this guide to me please?
Yeah, and I expect weapon specific corruptions will not be on the vendor so you are already hard limited to 1 item.

I’m starting to think you may be right…let’s hope that last-minuted tacked-on rent-a-effects are more problematic and unbalanced than something instituted into a new expansion from Day 1.

Here is the summary one Babylonius writes who’s been one of the main monk theorycrafters forever.
It has already been updated for buying corruption, but not for the 35% nerf yet.
Why dont you want us to be happy?!?!?
Why you hate us Blizzard!?!?!?!?!?

Eh I’ll just make do then. 
Though for the r1 corruption, I was thinking either IS or one Gushing. Or do you think r1 TA would be better?
Gushing.
IS sucks if you aren’t fighting Wrathion, Shad’har, or Xenesh.
TA is really good of course, but it’s about equal to GW in ST after the nerf and way worse in multi target.
Can do your own sims and testing though.

Pre-nerf GW was equal to or worse than Post- Nerf TD in aoe. And infinitely harder to get.
Now its considerably worse than TD in aoe. Its more in line with sever or honed mind. And might still get beat out by lash st.
What do the rest of us that don’t have lash, and don’t scale with the stat ones do?
Wrong, as someone who gets #1 DPS now ONLY on specific bosses with x2 IF in Nyalotha, it is not OP. It’s uses are so very limited, its bad actually outside of raid.
I’m not super obsessing exact optimization outside of picking apart gear from M+ so gushing it is. Works for me as I’ll probably get the r1 before the r3 TD. Doubt the r3 TD will be up on this initial week anyway.
