Gushing Wound Corruption Effect Reduction

It just proves BFA is a completely trash from the start to end!

I mean for me it is, when classes scale differently with the system.
Gushing wound is basicly the “If you don’t scale with anything use this”.
Mostly all underwhelming specs would use it, and they’re nerfing it.

What it proves is Blizzard cannot balance or make a good gear system and do not care for what the players have to say until it hurts their bottom line.

Wouldn’t it make much more sense to increase the corruption vale of Gushing Wounds, instead of nerfing the damage. Make it like 30 Corruption instead of 15.

Trying to offset things in a broken system isn’t fixing it.

Hey Blizz great change to make, it was OP lets not deny it.

Is there any scope to evaluate OTHER corruptions which might also be rare but powerful when combined en mass, like mind flay tentacles or ineffable truth (depending on how that stacks).

Basically would hate to see people stacking a corruption only for it to be nerfed, is it too much to ask to be proactive rather than reactive on balance when the numbers appears fairly simple even at a cursory glance?

Specifically how does ineffable truth rank 1 stack? If you can get 9x rank 1 with 270% CDR, could be an issue.

50% speed boost that’s permanent. Meanwhile I have a horse that gets me up the stairs faster.

  1. Not 39.

I think they explained their position well, in a system where it was very difficult to assemble the pieces required for it to be OP, it was fine.
Its only when it is readily available by mother or in tournaments that its a big issue. They knew it was OP and had no downside and allowed it anyway because of the rarity of it.

It’s not just this one corrupted effect, it’s the entire system. They replaced an RNG upgrade system with a 3 layer setup and than made countless changes since from nerfs to buffs to guaranteed corrupted items and now a vendor, which is only going to make this effect and many others get nerfed so hard into the ground there will be no point even having the system.

Something that overpowered shouldn’t exist at any rate. I seriously question whoever thought making such an obscenely unbalanced system would be good.

Why you morons designed this stupid, in-balanced corrupted gear system in the first place???

Basically yes.

Welcome to how modern WoW is balanced.

It just blows my mind that people still think that this is a better alternative than warforging/titanforging… it’s like 18 layers of RNG worse.

Can you just remove corruptions in general? Thanks, it would solve everyone’s problems.

True it is like re-arranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.

Meh I am not surprised anymore with what is happening with live retail.

Like all these systems that have been put in place , Blizzard listened to the player base and made changes. Like removing forging, which we asked for, and than added a system they wanted in place, that that we never asked for. They disguise changes they want as feedback related.

Not sure how many net wins like that can happen.

in other words: we deliberately made it OP to make you ride the hamster wheel, so now we have to nerf it.

Should have had that extra patch instead of cancelling if their are going to throw so much balancing efforts for a patch that is outdated by WoW standards.
