Gushing Wound Corruption Effect Reduction

THIS. 35%? You gotta be joking. Who the heck is making these decisions anyways? Same thing with Torghast torment and now this. I am starting to really get annoyed with some doofus on the head of balance

So it was fine when only 5% of the players had it. And the 1%,of players, that had multiple, you were cool with them just being significantly more “effcient” than eveyone else, because RNG?

nah, just stack 35% more. ;D

Feels Epic! man!

“Instead of nerfing everything, we’re gonna buff everything up!”

They said that once. Now they just nerf nerf nerf. Scrap the system if every week new corruptions just get nerfed.

Edit; Didn’t mean to reply to you, personally. My bad. Was just responding to the thread as a whole.

I know this is an overreaction/venting thread but…

Has anyone looked at the post-nerf numbers for Gushing Wounds? Based on the charts I see at Icy-Veins for my spec (Ret Pally) it’s still one of the best (per point of Corruption) for single-target and still making the top-10 in a mutli-target scenario. So for my spec at least it still seems like it may be worth considering.

I just think it’s pointless nerf, just let you dps have some fun till the end, not like it’s gonna matter next expansion anyhow, don’t really see the harm in it. If this issue is just pvp, then turn off corruption for pvp then. Making people losing millions of gold is a sure fire way to lose even more subs. My opinion anyhow.

Lets be honest. When did blizzard ever perfectly ‘balance’ anything? Never. So why keep changing stuff excessively and put a bad taste on people’s mouth? If you tweak the numbers mate, dont go from 100 to 0 and hope for the best, why not just tweak micro week after week HUUURRRDUUUUHHHHHHHHHHHH

Girl you good. Lol I do that s*** all too often.

Issues for PvP shouldn’t be a factor since they can balance things for PvP without changing them for PvE or is it different for corruptions?

Nothing PvE should be changed for PvP anymore, just have something do X% less in PvP.

@ Levaetain
How about blizzard just give us gray weapons and no gear to fight in pvp.
pvpers are savages
we are tired of having to spam mythics with people who dont even have kick/dispel bound on their action bars… just to be able to aquire gear to compete in arenas.
The 2 worlds shouldn’t blend

I have to agree here. Either that or disable corruption in pvp if that’s their concern.

This comment can’t be up voted enough

Shadowlands balance is going to be the real horrific vision

You all had to know this was coming. This was going to be way to strong in pvp.

Nice try, Ion.

It is ok to let a few people be grossly overpowered for a year, but not too many. Murder is ok in moderation, but step over our imaginary line where we draw the line, and we will get you!

Blizz makes no sense, not since Ghostcrawler left. Now they just talk like they are pulling rabbits out of their rumps.

This all day

You might disagree with their logic but it does make sense. It was hard to achieve so was allowed to be a little stronger, comparatively getting 5x gushing vs 1 x infinite star.

What I am concerned about now is the sledgehammer approach they are taking to balancing the corruption system.

What happens to a particular spec when they can scale their preferred stat
e.g BeastMaster can scale crit% gain, guardian can scale vers% gain etc

I think opening up the corruption system is a great step but I also think it will expose how useless/broken or otherwise undesirable a lot of the corruptions are.

For exmple if as a DH I could choose cooldown reduction so I could eye beam and/or meta a lot more I would be all over that… right now I have no idea how multiple of the same corruption stack/interact.

When will you nerf twilight devastations ridiculous effectiveness when tanks roll with it?

You deserved a sticky, not a flag.
