    Corruption nerfs: exploit early, exploit often

    https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/wo...ncoming/434708

    Blizzard had announced a suite of significant nerfs to the popular corruption effects.

    All the effort that players have spent cleansing strong corruption effects have been for nothing. While those people who are early to the party are once again rewarded for their efforts, at the expense of everyone else.

    Situations like this would not occur if garbage rental systems like Corruption didn't exist.

    Yeah! Fuck the devs for trying to balance their game question mark?

    That was what the 6 months between patch 8.2 and 8.3 was for.

    Welcome to MMOs, been like that since the beginning. Those who get the items when they are powerful have an advantage over those who come in after the balancing patches.

    Ah, right. Because Blizzard is notorious for releasing perfectly balanced content.

    Living proof that even when Blizzard does what folks want there will always be someone that cries about it.

    Would you prefer that they let it stay how it was??

    Yeah I hate rental gear but dude....it’s done we lost that fight

    I'm glad. I'm doing Wqs for 410 gear to get Echoing Void cause it will be stronger than my 460s by a huge margin.
    If what doesn't kill you, makes you stronger. Then I should be a god by now.

    They can balance stuff that doesn't even exist? Perhaps share that time traveling coding with the rest of the world so you can make trillions and buy Blizzard to fix everything.

    When has a test realm ever caught 100% of bugs or balance issues? Even the most well tested game will still adjust balance after the fact. The PTR also would be 8.3 and not between 8.2 and 8.3 as the poster I quoted was saying.

    I'm pretty sure they already nerfed that bit but it's still simming high. Gushing wounds is up there as well.

    I have seen people say it isn't a big issue because it loses power on multi-target fights and can be dispelled for PvP. It might still find nerfs but isn't as big as the others currently.

    Would you have preferred them not nerfing overpowered corruption effects?

    i'm no balancing genius nor do i expect perfect balance, but i'm pretty sure even i could have made a spreadsheet that would have seen this ginormous discrepancy between effects coming.

    really no excuse for blizzard who no doubt have automated programs to test these things.

    It did and it loses a lot if its' power in multiple target scenarios. Also, it's not something that's absurdly strong on tanks, who can also completely ignore Thing from Beyond and stack even more EV.

    You just complain for the sake of complaining, right?
    Still prefer corruption over boring ilvl increase.

    Because Infinite Stars got nerfed a number of times already and is only amazing on pure single target? Echoing Void, Gushing Wounds, etc are worse as they're useful for every situation.
