Unless Blizzard goes crazy with the tuning, I can’t see this raid lasting past 1st reset. If they’ve tuned it assuming entire teams will have IS, TD, EV, ect. This will be a frustrating tier.
Still hoping for an echoing void and twilight detestation nerf on tomorrow’s reset.
Blizzard massively overtuned Corruptions on purpose, purely because otherwise no-one would have used them. You have to offer a pretty big incentive for people to deal with the downsides, which was the reason practically no-one used CoS gear.
There’s pretty much only two ways they can handle it.
- They tune it around teams who’ve had ridiculous luck with Corruptions and make the DPS checks still challenging, even for them.
- They tune it around teams who’ve had poor luck with Corruptions and make DPS checks challenging for them, but trivial for the group mentioned in the first example.
Either way, performance this tier in this tier will almost exclusively come down to “did RNG favour you with Corruptions?”. The only difference is whether it’s a joke for those that do have corruptions, or impossible for those without them.

The reason it is worse is that if you somehow got the item it would most probably be the weakest version of it. There would be nothing worse that running something 20+ times and finally getting it to drop only to find out that it didn’t WF/TF.
You might like the chaos that this system bring and I respect that but I enjoy having control over my loot.
Even 18% dps gain on a single piece that gives 50 corrupt is negligible when you can already have 37 resistance this week. Infinite Stars is sitting at 38 if you have the max IS, but dealing with a tendril and an eyeball isn’t that big of a deal for certain toolkits. So basically corruption is king.
Except corruption isn’t as rare as glaives.
So you are disappointed getting an item thats a 400 dps upgrade but because it didn’t wf and give you an addtional 150 dps its useless? When dps is at 60k? What?
That’s the point. In a month everyone will have multiple items to choose from.
Did people get upset when someone luck/ rng got full 4 piece tier the first clear and others got no tier? This is the same.

Even if everyone has it in a few weeks doesn’t mean it’s dumb and breaks the game.
Public embarrassment is pretty much the only way to get Blizzard to fix things so I almost want it to happen.
On the other hand I feel bad for people who have been looking forward to this for months only to see it blown up by a dumb gear system.
Awesome mog BTW. People underestimate the power of the world’s strongest man chest.

I touched on how I get around it earlier in the thread, but it should still be like Thrall, where you’re in and ready to fight right away.
IMO if you’re going to say something is a failure you should be able to point to convincing credentials showing you’re informed enough for anyone to care about your opinion. The vast majority of whiners are severely lacking those credentials. They try something a couple times, then go complain about it before they understand it or get used to it.
Its terrible. Its giving people a HUGE advantage based on essentially luck. I dont feel that is right =/
Then you’ll just continue to make excuses and move the goalposts. Plenty of credible people have done this, I’m simply throwing my hat into this yet again.
Furthermore: You really don’t get to say this when you are hiding your profile and credentials. “Do as I say, not as I do.”

Why should corruption pieces determine the majority of damage and not players using their class abilities?
Blizz has gone off the rails.

MoP and WoD had it best.
Fixed loot with fixed sockets that had the chance to warforge up +6ilvls, then after the tier has been out for a while allow the ability to upgrade gear 2x for 5ilvl each with valor points.
This was by far the best, most fair yet fun system with longevity thanks to the upgrades

Don’t forget reforging, and how every profession pretty much had a useful thing you could slap onto your gear, even some interactions between them - like BS and belt buckles.

People whining about TF/WF giving the occasional drop was what gave us this Corruption nonsense. It’s another badly broken system layered atop the already broken Essence and Azerite ones.
They did the Legion Artifact systems well. Why the hell couldn’t we stick with that style?
Reforging was only in MoP, but it was a great system i miss it lol
Yeah. How dare people voice their dislike towards a system trying to fix something that wasn’t broken.

No, that was Blizzard deciding to give and take.
They could have just removed TFing and everything would be dandy, but no. They opted to give us an even worse system in it’s place.
Nobody who disliked TFing likes corruption.
