Corruption Effects Adjustments Incoming

[glowpipe]

They nerfed infinite stars by 25% twice.

on singletarget fights infinite stars after all the nerfs still simmed the same for me as E-Void. E-Void was op in aoe, but blizzard just outright nerfed the dmg by 50%, putting infinite stars way ahead of A-void. What they should have done here is limit how many targets it hit. Now its 100% useless for st content, and a lot of people only have Evoid, and nothing else

Oh booo hoo i feel so sorry for those ppl using nothing but echoing void and getting 99 parses on every fight because echoing void is half their total damage.

It's only half for tanks.

As unholy I have a rank 2 and rank 1 EV and it's ~10% of my damage. Our IS users get 30%+ on ST from theirs, and twisted appendages are getting more than me too.

It was OP for tanks, and on multi target.

Make it 50% effective for tanks and on secondary targets, and it'd be balanced with the rest of "OP" ones.

Don't you know? Blizz is only capable of balancing through changing all dmg aura%.

[Ophenia]

Hello yes, it's Blizzard balance team, we'll be randomly buffing stuff by 100%, yes we have no idea how to balance, if only we had a few-month-long PTR

[Eapoe]

What is gushing blood? Never seen that corruption effect on any piece?

It’s apparently the rarest corruption and even rank 1 is BiS for some classes (might be all but I haven’t seen the guides for all of them).

[Tech614]

It's only half for tanks.

Only if the tank is absolutely terrible. Even with having 2 t2 EV it was only around 30-35% give or take. The only way a tank is reaching 50% with it would be the rest of their dps is trash or they're stacking so much corruption to the point where they are a worthless tank as you really can't deal with 60+ corruption as a tank unless you enjoy screwing over the rest of your group.

Twilight Devastation is way more ridiculous for tanks with just 1 t3 it can reach 70% damage on most aoe pulls and you laugh while you're doing 180k dps.

[Keltas]

It only has 1 rank total. It has the best damage per point of corruption though, and if you could get 8x gushing wound, you'd wear it right now on everyone.


A guildy got 475 boe pants with gushing today and limit instantly bought them for like 4mil gold. That's how good it is.

[modotszilla]

Feel free to link me any good logs where infinite stars is topping people's damage done on bosses the same way echoing void and twilight devastation is. I'll wait.

if you were watching Meres during reclear for Method on atleast 6 of the fights it was his #1 damage.. on a couple it was 20%+

[Tradu]

50% reduced dmg with same corruption cost = fail
50% reduced dmg with 50% reduced corruption cost = win

That achieves nothing other than making you equip twice as many EV pieces. The DPC is too high, that's why they're nerfing the damage and not compensating by reducing corruption cost.

Its realy disgusting how they nerf this this late in.
It was already OP in PTR yet it gotten to live, then first week, u could have nerfed it, but they dind’t. No 11 mythic bosses has been downed..

Lets go by some numbers, 10 echoing voids are within a raid grp;

Each echoing void is doing an respectable 8000 dps.
Now they will do 4000.

This will be an 40.000 dps loss. And thats just uttery disgusting when this has not been an issue during the world first race untill they have managed to get to n’zoth.

You should have buffed the other corruptions. And if it influences the raid to much buff the bosses with 5%. But leave my dps alone,

So this week i’ll do 5000 dps less give or take, whilst having superior gear then last week, but yeah, echoing void, imo blizzard should have sucked it up this late in already, these fixes should be implemented before the raid even releases, and perhaps afther the raid a 5-10% nerf would be respectable.

No change to Echoing Void for PvP is just shocking to me... It's already doing 30%+ of people's damage in Arena. That's like 3 times more than their main-damage ability (from just 1 retarded corruption trait).

Congratulations Blizzard, you have once again displayed your ridiculously high incompetence....

It already got changed for PvP, the hotfixes just apply that change globally.

When was it changed? I last played on Tuesday evening. People were still having 30%+ of their total damage being just echoing void.

And what's even more retarded about this uterly retarded system is infinite stars. Not sure if glitch or something, but some demon hunters and warriors' infinite stars damage was 40%+. I have the same trait on my DK and mine is roughly 3,6%.

[Charge me Doctor]

I like how twisted appendage just go under the radar, i love this corruption effect

[Loveliest]

yes, yes, nerf more! Hell, I'm running out of space in my inventory. Should I cleanse? Should I not? I even have 420 ilvl crap cause "who knows". Sigh...

During heroic week, I think.
And specs with high haste(like the 2 specific ones you mentioned) will have more damage from hasted RPPM effects, that's how it works. You might also have t1 while they have t3(or more).

Wait what? Ive never had EV do more than 12-15% of overall damage in ANY situation. Where is this 30+% coming from?

Unfortunately I don't have any screenshot or other material to back my words. But even after the 50% nerf people were still having EV as their NR1 source of damage. It's ridiculous, to have your main damage coming from an item which procs randomly, rather than the character you've mastered.

Aoe EV is a weird mistress. For my fury war it was always doing approximately the same damagr percentage as single target. Really wondering how that's working out
