I think with enough versatility we could be on par with boomkins in multi dot scenarios with this new 2s cdr bow?

I have no idea how often the corruption stuff procs. But if we can use our defensive tools to counter them, wouldn't the bow grant indirect DPS gain because it's easier to handle the corruption mechanics due to having more tools available more often?
Or is perhaps the cooldown on our utility stuff already short enough for those?

Unlikely that it will result in an appreciable DPS increase because of reduced defensives CD. Corruption will probably be stacked to a point where you can survive it either way, because getting caught with a defensive off CD (or used for other fight mechanics) and then dying to overstacked corruption is unacceptable. The nature of CD availability and the randomness of the CD reduction means it's not a smooth gain, and you can't afford spikes you couldn't survive without defensives.
any idea how a mythic warforged shiver crossbow might compare to a heroic version of the corrupted bow?
not super important in the long run, just a bit curious :P
Per current Raidbot sims the Shiver Venom is crazy, and a heck of a lot better than the Eldritch bow.
Now that I've played the patch a bit (and bloodmallet etc are starting to update) I can see why this bow is gonna be less than mandatory.
Seeing as it's 35 Corruption, you could spend that elsewhere. If you get Stars, Voidtear or Severe stacks it looks to provide more consistent damage overall.
If the Eldritch bow gave halfway decent stats then the situation would be markedly different.
Edit: apparently I suck at simming and the raidbots gear compare wasn't factoring the sim of the corruption affix?

The fact it includes defensive CDs is a big part of the problem. I wouldn’t gaurantee it would be amazing if they made it offensive abilities, or even just AotW, CDs. It would, however, go a long way to up it’s value to that of the other weapons in the raid.
I would say that if you get one to hang on to it as I can see Blizzard adjusting it 1/2 to 2/3 of the way thru the raid lifespan.
Agreed, I'll be keeping at least a bag full of random corrupted pieces until I get a set dialed in.
I will say the way the bow works is growing on me. I haven't checked my personal logs but given how much haste you get during bloodlust I imagine you get off a fair number of auto shots, and that's generally a section of the fight where you won't be using your utility much anyway, allowing for decent uptime of offensive cdr.
I haven't looked into the new fights much, here's hoping.
Is there any way to track the procs? I tried and tried from the yesterday hitting dummy in Orgri with cool downs always on and it does not work at all it seems. Never get the corruption effect, no Whispering truths proc in Details Auras section, no visual just.... nothing?
It doesn't proc from every shot. shame. It's written as it should.
Ok, sorry for the confusion - I switched my Omni CC to MM:SS format for abilities with the cooldown above 300 s and indeed I see how the time "jumps" every shot. Case closed, it works .
