Razdunk is big yike

void dust
#

how much haste % are you guys running? how much haste% is to much etc?

tame garden
#

Morning prot chat

#

Never enough haste my friend

void dust
#

so just keep stacking it?

tame garden
#

Dont drop ilvl for it but yes more haste more better

void dust
#

thought i heard someone say something about 20% but I guess that's not true then?

tame garden
#

Nah theres no caps. Some ppl will say theres a minimum to have 3 back to back shield blocks but that's not really true

#

Haste is just the best stat for prot war

#

And you want as much as possible

void dust
#

so I should aim for what stats? Haste crit or?

#

then 3x bastion for the mastery?

tame garden
#

1 dc 3 bastion is the standard

#

Haste crit for m+ haste vers for raid

strong forum
#

I'm around 1.6k haste rn

#

Can get to 2170

#

2500 with sphere active

tame garden

zoom

void dust
#

what's dc sorry?

strong forum
#

Deafening crash

void dust
#

oh nvm ye crash

#

I got 1 dc, 3 bastion, 1 bloodsport and last one is brace for inpact

sick sentinel
#

how much versatility is good?

strong forum
#

Anywhere from 200 to 1000

#

If you're over 1k versa you are focusing too much on it instead of haste

void dust
#

im sitting on 1,1k versa. am i overcapped or something

#

ah, dang

strong forum
#

Well it's always rng

#

But you shouldn't focus on versa and avoid other stats

void dust
#

im using mastery enchants/gems rn. I guess I should change everything to haste then?

strong forum
#

Yes

tame garden
#

Yeah mastery is worst stat with 3 bom

void dust
#

sitting on just under 800 mastery rn

strong forum
#

Mastery is the least desirable stat

tame garden
#

Ditch those gems asap

strong forum
#

I have like 400 mastery

void dust
#

i guess the mastery i get from the traits is enough?

tame garden
#

Yeah bom is nuts

#

With how high avatar uptime is

strong forum
#

Bom reduces the value of mastery on gear by a ton

zenith vigil
#

I can't seem to get rid of mastery

#

every time i get a higher iLVL piece

void dust
#

okay. Haste it is. Haste and Crit yea?

zenith vigil
#

mastery is like "suhhhhh dude"

strong forum
#

Haste and crit for m+

void dust
#

and M+?

strong forum
#

Haste versa for raid

#

My bad, brainfart

void dust
#

ah okay

#

and is it still 3 bastion traits for m+?

#

I dont really tank raids

sick sentinel
#

noice

#

only got 20 crit and 18 haste 😦

#

% that is

analog zinc
#

mastery kinda sucks but BOM gives you such a massive boost in mast so its your bis trait

void dust
#

okay, thanks guys

strong forum
#

3 bastion is the dream scenario yes

grim estuary
#

What do you think about the Modular Platinum Plating (Mechagon Workshop Trinket) ?

jolly thistle
#

Put it in the bank and hope for a huge buff or complete rework

grim estuary
#

That Sounds Sad but atleast its not "depends"

jolly thistle
#

I can’t imagine a single use case right now

strong forum
#

It's the worst trinket in the game

#

By miles

#

If they buff it by 1000% it's still trash

analog zinc
#

^

strong forum
#

You lose all stacks instantly

analog zinc
#

my only 465 trinket atm 🙂

strong forum
#

Imagine having any drops at all

#

I'm still 455 equipped

analog zinc
#

think that's bad

#

?

#

i use 445 block & 430 rezans

#

no sockets

grim estuary
#

I mean i have Rezan 460 and 460 Dragonscale with socket there is miles to catch up on even if its a good trinket

strong forum
#

I mean your shield is also kick in the balls

grim estuary
#

just wanted to ask for knowledge

analog zinc
#

2 dupe shields 🙂

strong forum
#

Yup

analog zinc
#

also

#

i cleansed the mind flay one

#

8~ hours before they announced EV nerfs

#

i wonder if i can get the corruption restored

strong forum
#

Nop

#

You can't

#

It's gone for good

analog zinc
#

you never know, i dont see why i can't just make a ticket & hope

strong forum
#

Uhm

#

People have done it

#

Tried it

#

Tried to restore, you absolutely can't get corruption back once cleansed

blazing current
#

guys. need your help. I got this from weekly chest. Is this nice? as alternative I have gloves 455 haste+vers

tame garden
#

5 ilvl and corruption, def an upgrade assuming you have room for the corruption

blazing current
#

yeah. very nice corruption. but a lot of crit stat. Its abou 5 procs per minute

exotic spoke
#

Nothing wrong with crit

#

Crit is actually pretty good

blazing current
#

hm okay. I have 30 level of corruption. with BIS sword from wrathion. hate this eye

wary lantern
#

after nerf of OP, would you still take it instead of Unstable flames?

blazing current
earnest wadi
#

crit rly shines m+

grim estuary
#

feels bad

blazing current
#

what nerf? dont know

wary lantern
#

btw if mastery is undervalued due to BoM, should i skip tradewinds/Blood siphon?

blazing current
#

60 corruption omg

grim estuary
#

what nerf? dont know
@blazing current they will nerf EV hard as i heard

#

i mean i dont really have other Corruption so i dont really care but still :X

blazing current
#

Its not very strong why blizz nerf smth like this

grim estuary
#

as far as i know EV was BiS for Prot

blazing current
#

wanna smth for heals

#

like a staff from maut for monks

native perch
#

which is better for prot?

blazing current
#

haste proc ofc

#

stars for dmg bois

native perch
#

ok, thanks 😄

wary lantern
#

should i take the block?

#

i mean, tradewinds is mastery, i have that from BoM

blazing current
#

block is very nice fom M+

wary lantern
#

and would you say ele whirl or blood siphon?

blazing current
#

dificuilt question

wary lantern
#

i have to choose between those 2 on helm and shoulders 😄

strong forum
#

I'd say ele swirl

#

Since it gives you chance on actually useful stats

#

Tradewinds vs if depends on your shield

blazing current
#

oh I missed life siphon with saving haste. whirl is better

wary lantern
#

i have only 455 shield so far

strong forum
#

I'd say IF benefits you more given the slightly increased K value

wary lantern
#

swapped to tank today

strong forum
#

Yes defo IF then

#

You need the block value

wary lantern
#

always enjoyed tanking m+

#

and my guild have too many melee and no tanks 😄

blazing current
#

It increases block chance or block value?

wary lantern
blazing current
#

I have russian version and there is chance

#

omg crap

#

hate localisation

wary lantern
#

btw, can i run essences VoP -> CaS, Aegis, Warden?

#

or should i swap something for dynamo?

blazing current
#

VoP major. lucid dreams and dynamo. warden if you have last socket. imo

strong forum
#

Eh no

#

Vop major
Cns/aegis/lucid/sphere minors

#

Null is very situational depending on dungeon

thick solstice
#

what inner azerite traits is ideal for m+?

strong forum
#

Warden is not recommended

#

Unstable Flames and Overwhelming Power

#

Both are great

wary lantern
#

i have it like this

strong forum
#

Okayish

#

Warden is not recommended

#

It averages out to be around 2k hps

#

At rank 3 it becomes better because of the extra 3% stam

wary lantern
#

and lucid?

strong forum
#

Lucid is perfectly fine

wary lantern
#

i have it on r3 tho

strong forum
#

It's still not great

wary lantern
#

😄

blazing current
#

lucid heals you and restores rage often

strong forum
#

The heal is to be ignored

#

Most of it is over healing

exotic spoke
#

If you need corruption resistance rank 3 formless void is the go to

strong forum
#

Same as warden

#

90% overhealing

exotic spoke
#

The rage regen is why you take lucid

wary lantern
#

hm, kk, so just swap warden for lucid and should be good

strong forum
#

Ye

exotic spoke
#

As a general set up yes

strong forum
#

I mean you're not wrong with warden, it's just not recommended

sick sentinel
#

I’d work on sphere too 🙂

wary lantern
#

i dont have sphere, but can just buy it instantly on r3 i think

exotic spoke
#

Situationally others are good. There are also very good other options as generalist essence slots

strong forum
#

No essences are required to play your class, they just improve it in some aspects

blazing current
#

aegis is nice in crowd of adds. like m+. situational

sick sentinel
#

Sphere is typically a more consistent option than aegis. Aegis gets its power when you are fighting a lot of adds at once

#

For a majority of the dungeon

exotic spoke
#

The standard go to is visions major, CnS, aegis, lucid, sphere (pick 3)

Honorable / situational mentions go to formless void / warden / CoF / null barrier / Worldvein - and using some of these / the ones above as majors

sick sentinel
#

You want uptime

strong forum
#

Aegis I only really like in WM FH and maybe ML, outside of that not really great in my eyes

#

Not enough big pulls

exotic spoke
#

Big pulls are a state of mind Nome

strong forum
#

Big pulls are a state of dps and healer pepsihands

exotic spoke
#

Sounds like a healer problem

strong forum
#

I'd like to call it a dps problem

exotic spoke
#

Sounds like a non-tank problem

#

There I fixed it

wary lantern
#

😄

strong forum
#

When I'm reaching 50k dps and my dps players are at 58k max overall... I cry

blazing current
#

btw you always need null barier at wrathion cuz there is amazing magic dmg

strong forum
#

In raid you always play null

#

But this was about m+

#

I thought

wary lantern
#

minor?

strong forum
#

Yes minor

#

In raid you ALWAYS play Null r3 Minor

#

It's a must have

wary lantern
#

kk, will farm it on rank 3 today

exotic spoke
#

Nome, do you have god tier corruption?

blazing current
#

you can try major if you cant face fire breath but there is 2.3 mins CD

exotic spoke
#

You use rank 3 for the dps it brings

strong forum
#

Major is big nono

exotic spoke
#

Nah if you need a major you’d use undying

blazing current
#

rank3 null barrier gives you dps only. no saves

exotic spoke
#

40% every 45 seconds is solid

sick sentinel
#

You shouldn’t need to use undying major tbh

strong forum
#

I have EV t1 on 410 and EV t2 on 430.

exotic spoke
#

You shouldn’t Hawgz - you’re right

sick sentinel
#

Thanks dad

exotic spoke
#

But if you do it’s better than null Major

strong forum
#

Jammin, you play for max dps in raid anyway

#

Unless you're dying to stupid shit

wary lantern
#

what usually Major for raid? VoP? or something for dmg like crucible?

exotic spoke
#

Worldvein or crucible

#

Right now for me

tame garden
#

Worldvein?

#

:0

exotic spoke
#

World vein for pumping

wary lantern
#

no one in my guild uses that

tame garden
#

Pog

wary lantern
#

so thats no for me

strong forum
#

It's 4k mainstat sure, but idk if it can beat CoF

strong forum
#

On hivemind probably ye

#

Or vexiona

blazing current
#

so I dont need mega dmg cuz I have nice DD but sometimes I have lags)

strong forum
#

Define nice DD

exotic spoke
#

Hence why I listed CoF and Worldvein

wary lantern
#

need to work on my trinkets and weapon tho

sick sentinel
#

We are prot warriors. The most chad class. We need mega damage ALWAYS

exotic spoke
#

But 4K strength that lines up with avatar or close to it is very nice

blazing current
#

ahah yeah

#

legion was nice addon

#

eh

tame garden
#

1m cd is nice

exotic spoke
#

I’m just happy about my ring from my cache

#

It’ll be great for raid

blazing current
#

in legion we had devastator and booming voice at one time

#

golden times

exotic spoke
#

You still use devastator if you’re going for mostly single target damage

blazing current
#

yeah but I lose booming voice. there is always choice

sick sentinel
#

And if you are trying for ST damage devastator is the choice

blazing current
#

and devastator dont give rage like in legion

wary lantern
#

Devastator for raid?

sick sentinel
#

Only for ST damage

#

On primarily ST fights devastator pulls ahead

exotic spoke
#

It is a loss of survivability since you’re no longer incentivized / rewarded as much for hitting demo shout

#

But if you can afford that it’s a little more single target dps

blazing current
#

devastator for dmg. voice for more survivability

strong forum
#

Si

Damage 👐

wary lantern
#

i am warrior

#

all i want to do is smash things

jolly robin
#

is a socket on a ring worth 15+ ilvls? 🤔

zenith vigil
#

we only gently smash things in here

#

our other two specs are where the turbosmashing occurs

wary lantern
#

i came from fury

#

as i couldnt feel my fingers anymore

strong forum
#

A socket I'd personally value 10-15ilvl yes

exotic spoke
#

Yeah Json. It’s worth somewhere in that range. 10-15 ilvls depending on who you ask

inland silo
#

Prot is higher apm than fury

wary lantern
#

but i have better keybinds on prot

strong forum
#

Prot is highest apm in game I think

exotic spoke
#

More things off GCD helps that

#

That you need to hit *

wary lantern

i played prot some in season 2

strong forum
#

I'm pretty happy about my HP predictions from beta

#

Na, there's more to it dafty, traits, trinkets, talents, essences and buffs

You also don't get rage from being hit, thus generating less

#

And no lust/hero ofc

anyone?

Cleanse the haste one

Can you block the tank buster cast from awakened now? Feels like I take a lot more damage from it when shieldblock/last stand is not up

analog zinc
#

no

zenith vigil
#

does it feel like it?

#

logs>feelings

sick sentinel
#

You can bop tank buster now

#

they changed it so you can

#

You just can't line it

exotic spoke
#

Not many people log M+.
That said logs are the best way to get answers

However block doesn’t work against it

#

Wait - when did they make that change? LOS doesn’t work any more?

sick sentinel
#

LoS hasn't worked for a week now

#

from last reset

#

just like you can't snap the tentacles away from the slime

#

they snap back to place when out of combat

exotic spoke
#

I was LoSing the tank buster on Monday

tame garden
#

What

exotic spoke
#

Range still worked yesterday - didn’t try LoS since I only did UR and there wasn’t a great spot for that

sick sentinel
#

You can only outrange it

#

Just going behind a wall won't work

#

it'll smash you through it

zenith vigil
#

you don't need to "log" it

#

you can just check your details

#

or recount or whtever

exotic spoke
#

Like as of Monday I was able to LoS it

#

I know for a fact that I LoSed it

sick sentinel
#

You might of got lucky with something

#

Because you aren't suppose to be able to

exotic spoke
#

Are there notes for that?

sick sentinel
#

Nope, just like there wasn't notes for you not being able to bop it and now you can and the slime snapping thing

exotic spoke
#

Slime snapping thing seemed like a bug. But LoS definitely didn’t since it was a cast

analog zinc
#

certain walls dont work for los

#

but you can defo los tankbuster

sick sentinel
#

I tried every key

#

I'm not able to los

zenith vigil
#

im so happy fort/tyr dont apply to awakened minibosses

#

i would kms if they wre

#

theyre already a pita

exotic spoke
#

The same ones that didn’t work for void don’t work for this. ML was bad about that

#

Like I was LoSing them all last week

sick sentinel
#

I tried in every key

#

it's not working at all

#

and other tank sare saying the same thing

exotic spoke
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

Haven’t tested this week since I’m back at work - but as of Monday I know you could LoS them.

#

This is the first I’m hearing that it’s not LoSable

sick sentinel
#

Ye my other tank friends and healers said they weren't able to los it

#

and I experienced that multiple times in multiple keys

Damn you ion

is vita titanshard any good?

comparable to rezan's / wrath trink?

#

i cant los it anymore either

#

tested it 5 times, hit me through LoS all those times

exotic spoke
#

What dungeons?

sick sentinel
#

all dungeons

#

I tried on every losable dungeon

exotic spoke
#

I understand but that is the opposite of what I experienced on Monday Nike

#

That’s why I’m questioning what dungeons Rosjen specifically tested it in

sweet summit
#

only done two freeholds so far

sick sentinel

freehold?

exotic spoke

I never did it on FH - just ranged it / circle kites

sick sentinel

hey there, have a question... 8% leech worth? or just keep ring and clease it?

sweet summit
#

leech isnt worth corruption

#

as long as you have something else

sick sentinel
#

Unless you have nothing else and are using Lucid major which is unlikely

#

it's not worth at all

zenith vigil
#

LOS is cheating

#

not intended mechanic

#

yea, because every other cast in dungeons ignores LoS as well 🙂

not the reason then

for specifically the minibosses then

sweet summit

CnS is good for necro for kiting=less stacks i guess. and the fear guy adds maybe

zenith vigil
#

ye

sweet summit
#

CnS is just solid all around imo

zenith vigil
#

and fort/raging/bolster

sweet summit
#

fort alone isnt bad

#

bolster isnt an issue unless you are playing low keys or with dumdums

exotic spoke
#

I mean - you can literally kite it for days just with leap

#

And face tank it for a bit

sweet summit
#

CnS major is underrated

#

change my mind

limpid pawn
#

for necrotic yes

exotic spoke
#

But LoSing it felt so good. Like a good way to out play the mechanic

zenith vigil

high level tanks are using it this week too

World vein pumps and necrotic can be a non issue 🙂

Worldvein minor is the one you can run as a team right, or only the major one stacks?

#

For raid.

haughty forum
#

But wasn't sure what the ring counts.

exotic spoke
#

Absorbs count as healing but don’t restore health

They did that to capture shielding - which when meters originally came out in vanilla - shields didn’t track as heals in meters so priests looked bad on meters

Do it

analog zinc

why would I?

strong forum

@analog zinc do M0’s?

analog zinc
#

they're mythic-5 with sick traits

#

i'm gonna use them for months

strong forum

m0s only give 1 chalk

analog zinc

chances are a random mythic piece would be worse

sick sentinel
#

Ooooof

analog zinc

they give 20

hallow phoenix

You could have horned horrors

sick sentinel

There get 3 pieces

Or wait until two more emissaries to scrap 445’s

IMAGINE YOUR PARSES

i've done a couple dungeons

strong forum

what you could achieve!

analog zinc
#

i'm trying to find some people to sell me m0 plate stacks

sick sentinel
#

Dude M0 should drop 445 azerite armor

#

Emissaries shouldn’t have better rewards than any group content lmao

analog zinc
#

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hallow phoenix
#

Have you done islands

sick sentinel
#

At least semi challenging group content

analog zinc
#

holy shit

#

emissaries

#

thank you so much

#

i do the emissary & i only need 10 more

sick sentinel
#

Yeah there was one in zandalar yesterday

#

Also if you did any before this week you may have a 445 in bags that’s worth 40

hallow phoenix
#

Warfronts can drop azerite

sick sentinel
#

^^^^ that too

analog zinc
#

already did them tusks

#

i've already scrapped everything i could

hallow phoenix
#

Islands?

analog zinc
#

didn't get residum

You can’t get azerite gear from islands?

#

Ohhh residue quest

Yeah that’s dumb

I feel like I'm struggling with trinkets atm. Just opened the weekly and pulled the 465 Jes Howler (😫 ). What would you recommend for Raid and M+ respectively?

analog zinc
#

jes aint bad

#

well

#

not that bad

#

go run atal & waycrest for trinkets

#

or raid

I've has such terrible luck in Atal

Just loot the items you want

"Listen here boss, you're gonna drop THIS, and I'm taking it, k?"

Just get a 475 socketed Rezan’s from your weekly cache

#

I might just get "There's always next week" tattooed on my forehead at this point

storm isle
#

i've gotten leach corruption and haste to avoidance

sick sentinel
#

@errant widget I would do 2 patchwerk sims of all trinkets, 1 boss and 5 bosses. Use 1 boss for ST/raid use 5 bosses for keys

errant widget
#

@sick sentinel Thanks! I'll run it now.

limpid pawn
#

for m+, simming doesn't take into account survivability though

#

so like rezan + block vs vita + wrathion trinket

#

which combo would truly be best for high keys?

sick sentinel
#

Well haste is prot’s best stat

twilit smelt
#

how's Ra'den and Wrathion trinkets for raid?

sick sentinel
#

For a mix of damage and defense. So I’d go with vita/rezan if all same Ilvl

twilit smelt
#

mythic wrathion but rezan is 465 cap

sick sentinel
#

Vita is better than wrathion unless you need that speed proc

#

Tbh I’d just sim for damage. Idk if any of the tank trinkets are good this tier for keys

twilit smelt
#

im talking about raid

sick sentinel
#

@twilit smelt sorry I was talking to bro. Uhh, idk man. What are your options?

twilit smelt
#

i'm just deciding whether to bonus roll wrathion

#

I have both TEP trinkets

#

as well as dps ones

sick sentinel
#

On mythic? I’d wait

#

The haste proc won’t increase your survivability in a meaningful way for mechanics that are actually dangerous in raid.

#

Extra self healing from urchin/edicts absorb may tho

twilit smelt
#

havent found edicts and urchin outstanding

#

3k hps max

sick sentinel
#

Well the haste seems like it has good uptime. This is from mythic Skitra

#

It’s the closest thing to a ST encounter so far in early NYA

#

Maut doesn’t count since there’s cleave targets more often than Skitra imo

#

So I guess choose your buff. Healing/absorb or haste.

#

I thought the haste was pretty low for that trinket too, but could be wrong

unless you have the "stop dps decay if dps stops" thingy

i dont think it tracks someone if theyr'e not in combat

okay so you have the "objects seem closer than they appear" option on

didnt know there was a diff

well if you stop dpsing after burst

on activity you seem like a god

but on actual overall youre just barely above the tank

man i wanna see the nerfs and buffs

i dont

keep it as is please

i dont wanna lose 15k

strong forum

i cba using my 410 piece man

i just got td t2 pants with socket and almost acceptable ilvl

EV and TD need a nerf. Honestly don’t understand how they didn’t see this coming

so maybe thats better than ev t1

no its 4 target dummy

tame garden

strong forum
#

constant 80k dps

sick sentinel
#

Twilight devastation is fun

#

Echoing void however is just op

strong forum
#

this is TD t2 vs EV t2

#

on 4 targets

#

for like 3minutes

#

seems balanced

sick sentinel
#

Yeah so you got lucky procs

#

the problem with TD is it’s god tier or garbage

exotic spoke
#

I agree it’s fun. But it isn’t balanced

sick sentinel
#

All based on procs

#

Yeah but reducing its damage would make it even worse

exotic spoke
#

TD and EV I mean

sick sentinel
#

Now if the proc rate was balanced or consistent without the 0 procs in 2 mins or 5 procs in 30s but reduced or tuned to fit that then cool.

exotic spoke
#

Over the course of a dungeon it’ll average out

tame garden
#

👀

sick sentinel
#

That’s tier 3

#

If I did bigger pulls I’d have more but first time doing a 15 of junk

#

It’s rewarding when you do bigger pulls but mediocre on small pulls/ST

exotic spoke
#

I mean. That kinda illustrates the point of why it’s not balanced / healthy design for the game imo

#

And EV is a bigger issue than TD imo

strong forum
#

the strength of EV is the consistency

#

how many stacks you gain

#

vs often you proc

#

and then dump said quickly obtained stacks

#

TD is only good in aoe cuz it just pops for full dmg

#

if it would split like EV, it would be balanced as shit

sick sentinel
#

If it split like EV it would be garbage

#

Nobody would want it over EV even after nerfs

strong forum
#

but it would be balanced

sick sentinel
#

No it wouldn’t be

strong forum
#

it would do like 200-300k per proc

sick sentinel
#

TD is random sometimes you get no procs

#

EV is just a free % dps

upper nest
#

i got rank 2 EV, should i go for stam flask? 😄

strong forum
#

not at all

sick sentinel
#

No

strong forum
#

unless you literally stack like 3-4x EV

Untrue

strong forum
#

its not worth going for extra stam

sick sentinel
#

Oh wait you’re talking to him

strong forum
#

yes

upper nest
#

sure thx

sick sentinel
#

But seriously look at logs. EV is absurdly OP compared to anything right now

strong forum
#

breh

#

breh

#

calm down

sick sentinel
#

Stars is only good ST but EV is good everywhere

autumn pendant
#

Soon nuked

strong forum
#

i said EV is broken

#

im not defending EV

#

im saying if TD split like EV it would be balanced

#

thats all im saying

sick sentinel
#

I know i just don’t think TD needs nerfed unless they fix it’s unreliability.

strong forum
#

if anything does more than 20% of your dmg in m+

#

its broken

#

my guy

exotic spoke
#

They said they were looking at TD but hadn’t decided yet. EV nerf inc though makes me interested

strong forum
#

yes

#

same

sick sentinel
#

It only does well in M+ if you get many packs together

exotic spoke
#

Because honestly, how did they not see health based attacks being an issue

tame garden
#

TD needs nerf lol

sick sentinel
#

It’s ST is garbage

tame garden
#

So?

strong forum
#

^

sick sentinel
#

So you’d be killing it for any ST

tame garden
#

Its not a st corruption

strong forum
#

its not an ST corruption

sick sentinel
#

Then everyone would bitch and moan about not having stars again

strong forum
#

no

#

cuz stars is shit in multi target

sick sentinel
#

Neither is EV but look where we are.

strong forum
#

EV is amazing at both

tame garden
#

U just dont want it nerfed cuz you have it :kekw:

strong forum
#

Stars is so niche

exotic spoke
#

EV is amazing at both

sick sentinel
#

But TD is only amazing in aoe

strong forum
#

yes but too amazing

exotic spoke
#

TD isn’t bad single target. It’s just not optimal

sick sentinel
#

It’s mediocre in ST

tame garden
#

And op in aoe

#

So its op

exotic spoke
#

So mediocre in ST and god tier in aoe. Sounds like OP in m+

strong forum
#

Stars is beyond shit in anything but PURE ST, thats why its not getting nerfed, EV is insane in both, TD is balanced in ST broken in aoe

sick sentinel
#

Again so the way to balance it is to make it a reliable proc but nerf it a bit

#

Not just nerf the damage

#

Or reduce damage of targets hit just slightly

exotic spoke
#

Not really lol

tame garden
#

Corruption apologists smh

exotic spoke
#

Thatd be a status quo

strong forum
#

just make it split, like EV, and its perfectly balanced, not anymore LUL I JUST HIT FOR 4MIL

exotic spoke
#

It averages out over the course of a dungeon. So if you lower damage but make it proc more it’s still OP

sick sentinel
#

It would be worse than EV then

strong forum
#

anything doing more than 5k dps in ANY SCENARIO is broken

sick sentinel
#

Even after nerfs

strong forum
#

how will you know cbegs

tame garden
#

Both need nerfs

exotic spoke
#

And? There will always be a “best” corruption

strong forum
#

you dont know how EV will be nerfed

#

maybe itll be reduced to suck in aoe AND st

#

maybe itll be a number change

sick sentinel
#

Because TD is unreliable

strong forum
#

maybe itll be a proc change

sick sentinel
#

Some packs I never get a proc

#

And I also play fury

exotic spoke
#

Except it’s not over the course of a whole dungeon

tame garden
#

So

sick sentinel
#

EV is CONSTANT

strong forum
#

ye but on average you get enough to do around 10k dps

#

so it averages out

exotic spoke
#

Stop looking at the trees and look at the Forest

strong forum
#

EV does the same

sick sentinel
#

So if it split it’s just a Shittier EV

tame garden
#

I dont understand why the reliability matters if overall its op over a dungeon

strong forum
#

🤦‍♂️

#

this guy will never get it

sick sentinel
#

Because I’m not talking just dungeons

exotic spoke
#

It doesn’t matter on a single pack. That’s irrelevant

sick sentinel
#

You guys are looking at one specific instance

strong forum
#

no

#

we're looking at everything

sick sentinel
#

Take into consideration world, raid, pvp

strong forum
#

yes we are

exotic spoke
#

We’re looking at the instance it’s mostly likely to be used in. M+

tame garden
#

World :omegalul:

distant crystal
#

because all else equal you'd rather something that does good dmg to every pack versus something that does insane dmg to one pack and nothing to others

sick sentinel
#

Nerfing it because it’s good in M+ would kill it in raid/pvp

exotic spoke
#

But it does damage to most pics waat 🙂

sick sentinel
#

Unless it’s balanced

tame garden
#

Why does it need to be good in raid

distant crystal
#

it needs to do a good bit more overall if it's going to whiff sometimes

tame garden
#

It's an aoe corruption

warm plinth
#

Isn't TD and EV already nerfed heavily in PvP?

strong forum
#

it is

exotic spoke

^^

It’s 75 fucking corruption for rank 3

strong forum
#

ye cuz he cant see that TD is stupid strong

sick sentinel
#

The damn thing better be good

tame garden
#

1 corruption being bis in all content is giga toxic and bad design

#

It SHOULD be bad in raid

exotic spoke
#

It’s too good though

sick sentinel
#

You guys are looking small picture

no

you are

Why? Because you say so?

No

strong forum
#

#

What

exotic spoke
#

What?! Lol

strong forum
#

if a random proc, does 1-4mil a pack

#

ITS NOT BALANCED

tame garden
#

U smoking that loud

#

Dude just wants an op corruption to wear in all content

#

Smh

exotic spoke
#

Look at your damage spread. TD / IS / EV are over powered.

Tanks shouldn’t be crushing it like that

strong forum
#

EV is only good cuz it procs often, but for small numbers, TD is a big Proc that happens sometimes

#

different thing, same outcome

distant crystal
#

being split is better tbh

strong forum
#

yes

warm plinth
#

As much as I hate that it's getting nerfed since I like it, I also think corruption would be better if the spread wasn't so huge.

distant crystal
#

it makes its output less dependent on big pulls

exotic spoke
#

We’re not even geared yet. Wait til we get closer to 1M hp

distant crystal
#

when td procs on one mob you feel bad

exotic spoke
#

This is as much of an adjustment now as it is planning for the future

warm plinth
#

What's making me the most upset is how long it took them to realize it was still busted XD

broken stratus
#

how good is infinite star compare to TD and EV?

sick sentinel
#

Yep so nerfing it further just makes it ONLY a key corrupt

#

Maybe

exotic spoke
#

It shouldn’t have hit retail in the state it did

strong forum
#

IS is very niche

sick sentinel
#

EV will likely be Better.

strong forum
#

not very good

#

IS only works in PURE ST

exotic spoke
#

What’s wrong with that CBegs?

sick sentinel
#

What they should’ve done is made corruption more plentiful if it’s this imbalanced

exotic spoke
#

Why shouldn’t we have different corruption for different things?

sick sentinel
#

Because some of us don’t have good corruption to fall back on

tame garden
#

Why do you want 1 bis for all content

sick sentinel
#

I don’t

distant crystal
#

the dmg corruptions should only be beasting for tanks/healers imo

tame garden
#

Then what's wrong with TD being bad in raid

exotic spoke
#

You change gear for different content. Essences. Talents. Traits. Why not corruption

tame garden
#

???

distant crystal
#

real dps that are geared should perform better with good stat corruptions

sick sentinel
#

I’d take stars/EV over my R3 TD right now

strong forum
#

we all do

sick sentinel
#

Because they’re consistent in raid

distant crystal
#

otherwise the stat ones are literally good for nobody

sick sentinel
#

TD is not consistent

strong forum
#

TD is for aoe

#

how often do we have to tell you

tame garden
#

See ur just salty that the one you use might be up for nerfs

strong forum
#

its not an ST corruption

ruby fog
#

Whats stronger overall, 1 piece of deafening crash + 2 heart of darkness or the other way around?

exotic spoke
#

CBegs, I had shit luck until Tuesday. Now I have two pieces worth a damn. Speg still has garbage tier luck on his Druid.

This is another major issue with the corruption system I agree with you about it.

sick sentinel
#

AND at the end of the day we change wayyyy too Fucking much for each piece of content

#

It’s kind of stupid how much we have to change to be optimal

tame garden

but we dont

exotic spoke
#

However, that is temporary and it will feel better as we get more options

but what is the value of dc vs heart after you have 1 dc

exotic spoke

You don’t gain much from a second Dc

sick sentinel

It is. Talents, essences, gear, azerite traits, talents, corruptions

heart will be better overall

It's probably better than DC (obviously if you have over 25 corruption)
