Gushing Wound Corruption Effect Reduction

Just want to ask because I think it really needs a nerf.
When is a 35% nerf coming to Twilight Devastation?
Yes, it’s fun, but nonetheless, broken.

Take our wins where we can get them.

look at raid logs to get an idea of what i would like to get, so what else are they going to nerf, Better yet How would blizz like me to play my toon so can get the things i need to pump dps.

I got my first gushing wound this week out of the entirety of this xpac and this is how you do me :sob: in all honestly why can’t you guys change pvp and pve values like you do with some talents, just nerf it in PVP ez. I’m glad they’re making changes but does it seem like they’re doing all these changes that shoulda been day 1 changes but they do it at the end of the xpac?

Yeah if corruption is OP in PVP just start doing PVP targeted changes.

Rarity doesn’t mean it’s difficult to acquire, blizzard.
It just means it’s less fun to go after.

Nerfing anything by 35% means it was never balanced to begin with, thanks for getting around to it, months later.

I disagree, I really enjoy the concept of the system. I think the biggest (now solved) issue of the system was that the only way to interact with it was by RNG chance.

Being able to allocate corruptions across gearsets specifically because we are limited by our resistance stat makes it a very very compelling system. Typical blizzard fashion they botched the implementation by too much RNG.

It could be worse.

Blizz could buff something by 50% several times. LMAO.

I honestly think this nerf wasn’t needed, theirs no content anymore, pvp is imbalanced as ever, PvE is all over the place, why not just let people have fun till shadowlands? 8.3 is already a huge disappointment… With endless grinds leading to endless RNG…

Just let us have fun till we finally remove corruption for good in Shadowlands.

crap like this is why i have zero faith in shadowlands’ covenant powers being balanced at all. waiting how many months now to nerf something. i cant wait until the middle of patch 9.0 and they nerf the top covenant ability because everyone is using it, forcing everyone to switch. and then they nerf that one, because, blizzard, and make everyone switch again.

note, i’m not even using gushing wounds, so i dodged this bullet, but as a mage, i’m already on the chopping block come shadowlands since i’m losing lucid essence, mech bracers, and blaster master, all of which make the spec as good as it is currently.

and no, i didn’t just switch to mage with this patch, i’ve been mage since vanilla, and played fire for a majority of my time except when frost or arcane were just too far ahead to not switch to.

I just got Gushing Wound today in my weekly chest. I have gotten nothing but useless #3 dog crap for weeks, and for months before corruptions. I guess I had 3 hours of enjoyment before you realized it and took it away. Last time I thought things were turning around for the better and I was super happy was when the Psychic Shredder dropped for me the week of raid release only to have it nerfed into the ground the day after. I am exhausted trying to get good gear unsuccessfully, but the moment I do you nerf it, or announce a nerf, every single time, less than a day later.

It’s funny because even with the 35% nerf it’s still right at the top for most specs for ST and AoE after TD.

They could leave it as is though and if you aren’t a fire mage, BM Hunter, or Spriest have fun putting it on every slot that can take corruption.

Ohhhhhhh mmmmyyyyyy goooooooodddddddd. Oh my god. Stop nurfing things.

It’s the end of the expansion. Everything is cleared by high end people. No one cares any more. Let us screw around and be OP. Seriously. Y’all have MONTHS of time to fill before Shadow lands gets here. You know what will help keep things going? Letting people just be OP and tromp through things like Mythic raids after a while. Seriously you should be buffing things not nurfing them. ffs

Why can’t you just remove it from the vendor and leave it alone?

90 corruption worth of gushing was just about equal to 100 corruption of twilight dev in some or most dungeon situations.
This nerf will turn GW into the next echoing void and will become useless.
Gj on that balancing

they could just up its corruption to 35 or something, that’s really the only reason it’s so good, 15 is super low and would let you stack it on several pieces.

What are rogues suppose to stack now?

Whoever came up with the idea of Corruptions has done a dis-service to Warcraft and should be ashamed to be called anything approaching game developer.

Literally end of the expansion and end of corruption, here’s a thought, maybe not nerf things to the ground at the end? I heal so it don’t affect me but people probably spent millions on that, this is how you continue to bleed out subs, terrible decision at the end. Let people have some fun at the end, make them feel powerful, what is the big deal?
