Gushing Wound Corruption Effect Reduction

Can we please let tanks have fun until this horrid expansion is over?

They answered all of that in their announcement. It was OP but rare. Now it will only be OP.

But its ok for 30 tanks to cheese a raid with twilight devastion… why not just nerf gushing in pvp

“Heartbreaking”? Like the same way your dog dying breaks your heart?

Getting a bit dramatic in here.

OP in what context? Prepare for fire with mastery% on every piece. Then come back to us and tell us how “op” gw is…

Because all PVE changes affect PVP and vice versa, sadly. They don’t separate it.

It’s about equal to lash and TA in ST and below TD in aoe.

The part you are leaving out is that still makes GW extremely good for both where the others are pick your poison.

TD sucks in ST and TA sucks in multi target.

And many fights or even in mythic+ have sections where having ST and having MT are good. So GW is still going to see a lot of play. Most likely still stacked exclusively for ST and swap in a few TD for multi target heavy.

Who would be stupid enough to do that?

I haven’t even had this piece a single day and it got nerfed already.

Likewise, never saw 1 gashing wound.

I’m amazed by this nerf so late in the patch.
The main point being.
Finally a lot of people will be able to play gushing wound, unlike the lucky ones and those that paid boes with it, so we are gonna nerf it?
So you’re fine something is broken if only a few people do it?

I’m not even sure I can take Blizzard seriously with the echoes thing not resetting and now this.
This is just some high level of clown fiesta.

DKs would like a word with you.

It’s kinda like if in TBC warglaives were all of a sudden on the badge vendor.

(Not quite the same due to BOE but still super rare).

Just means you can focus on other effects that you can benefit from. I call that a net win.

You know the bit that gets me?

Because of this change, I JUST NOW, just realized, that at least on 2-3 characters, I keep a good… 12-20 extra bits of armor IN ADDITION to two sets of azerite, extra trinkets and two sets of weapons in the event that one of these corruptions ends up being unrealistically strong or hot garbage.

That’s almost an entire bag dedicated to the weirdest hot and cold relationship.

And now that I think about it some more, this was pretty much the same issue with rings, necklaces and legiondaries, but for some reason that bothered me a lot less…

So they would nerf warglaives if everyone had them?
REALLY? xd

Considering it would make every single other weapon drop in the game useless…yeah.

Kinda like GW for almost every dps spec.

The power offset balanced by its rarity.

I strongly disagree.
It’s fine that some things are better than others.
Moreover, gushing wound is not bis for everyone or every situation except maybe for pvp.

Very good point too. I mean there might be that one lucky (or more money than braincells) to have a ton of GW that might be winning at dps, but they’re generally outliers.

If everyone can just get it, then it causes a balance issue with encounters and then you start getting demands for stupid people saying ‘All GW or no inv’ and other such idiocy that just snowballs from there.

Best to nip it in the bud now before that problem happens.

They spend more time balancing rentals than core class kits in an expansion and patch that is over. Feels bad. :frowning:
