So the game picked a main for me

‘Just ignore it’ is neither a tip nor a trick. Neither are snide remarks about feeling entitled to BiS gear for logging in, if you took a minute to read what I have written or checked my characters yourself, you would know that in the last three weeks I have invested equal time and effort into both characters and the amount of time and effort invested is not inconsequential, and yet the difference in power between the two characters is massive.

Once again: you expected a ton of ‘‘good’’ corruption gear already even tho it is as random as titanforging or warforging.
Is it required at all? no, its a nice bonus to have.

And yes it is an amazing increase in player power. But you are making it out to be your paladin is totally useless.

Yes, it is bad you soaked equally amount of time in both, but 1 more week to play on your paladin and the tables might have turned since thats how RNG ‘‘can’’ work.

@Andíra-silvermoon

I am beginning to think you simply don’t understand how the system works, I checked both you and your guild on Armory but decided to give you the benefit of doubt, I guess that might have been a mistake.

I post on my hunter simply because i want too, i know what i am talking about and have been raiding for years, i run M+ on a '‘high lvl"’ and enjoy the content on 2 of my characters (which you would have noticed: are classes with a tank specialization since i wanted to be clear about the experiences i had with corruption)

@Andíra-silvermoon

We are not six days into the corruption system. The patch released on the 15th of January. We are three weeks into the system.

You are talking about the corruption and the uses it has for raiding and your ‘‘disability’’ due to lacking said corruption and holding your guild back, okay in that case i am a few days off.

However the raid is just open for 10 days or so. And i am saying this because pre-raid corruption items are good and sim well, but are trumped by ilvl pieces without corruption if we talk 460 or higher ilvl due to stats being more important than.

@Andíra-silvermoon

‘Just ignore it’ is neither a tip nor a trick.

I never said this straight up, i said:

Play the character you want to play and dont bother too much about corruption right now, it will come over time.
Either from raid bosses or group content or the weekly assault or any other source of gear basically.

And swapping a character just because of some ‘‘better’’ corrupted items is in my eyes still a bad call if you dont enjoy the game as much as you do on the paladin.

@Andíra-silvermoon

It honestly feels like the game has chosen my main for me.

Moving away from the paladin now and ‘‘making’’ your druid your main due to its current corruption pieces doesnt solve your problem at all.

The paladin will just get behind and lack or lose out on chances to get better corruption gear because you will: bother less with M+ or raiding or whatever since it doesnt have the proper corruption pieces at this moment, only 10 or 12 days into the whole patch.

So i stay with my original posts and remarks that i have made in this thread so far.

And nobody is forcing you to play the druid because it had a bit more luck with RNG.
It sure can be annoying but i wont let my fun be ruined because my DK has a few items with better corruption than my warrior. (and i prefer playing my warrior currently)

But i guess you wont believe that, since i am not going to link any armory or even bother to link it.

TL/DR: The corruption system isnt making you play whatever has the highest or best corruption gear, if you wanna min max it like that, thats your own choice.

Changes coming! So corruption effects arent so powerful anymore!

[Ghenka-shadowsong]

cant help agreeing with you here. being made obsolete from day 1 for being the only tank (inc backup tanks) that didnt get a specific staff that taked thier dps from around 20/30k to over 100k

@Andíra-silvermoon

. You might not even be raiding anything for all I know and you have no concept of what I am talking about

Well your busy in normal and heroic the people talking to you are infact raiding Mythic and offering you advice if your going to be obtuse to people who are raiding at a higher level and longer then you why post on the forums .

Corruption Effects Adjustments Incoming

Update – 2:20 a.m. CET February 6 We have been reading your thoughts on the Corruption changes and have decided to hold them for regional restarts next week. We understand the impact they will make on your gear selection and agree that it makes more sense to do it at the start of a week. Also during regional restarts, we plan to make some tuning changes to Mythic N’Zoth to better align the encounter with the changes that are being made to players’ Corrupted items. Thank you all for your feedb…

The mythic raiders in this thread have been both impressingly pedagogic and patient. Me, a little LRF scrub these days, agree because I played long enough to know how the game works, what will come and later pass - while OP is still comparably new. Sorry for salty but I just had to…

[Lepanto-chamber-of-aspects (Lepanto)]

So you make a post complaining about some char getting better gear than another one and you somehow think this is definitive regarding that char having an insurmountable edge over another one. Sure.

Ilvl cap in M+ is highly relevant as if you really are serious about gearing up it’s only after this has been lifted you’ll really spam those M+. Since M+ is probably the best source of gear and corrupted gear is attainable there, your doing more M+ runs will make you get a lot more corrupted gear -> your main will end up getting way better gear 99% of the time.

I mean, c’mon mate, just play what you like and gear will follow?

[Andíra-silvermoon]

So we have a new loot system and the dev team has repeatedly stated they are looking for feedback on it for going forward in Shadowlands, and making a thread with feedback that is backed up by character examples is ‘gtfo LFR scrub whining about being entitled to BiS gear’.

Thank you for reminding me why it’s pointless to come on the forums, won’t make the mistake again.

BTW, Twilight Devastation ring in my druid’s M+ cache today, versatility on taking damage in the paladin’s box.

[Lepanto-chamber-of-aspects (Lepanto)]

I understand your anecdotal evidence is important to you. And again I stand behind the final statement “play what you like gear will follow”.

In the short run RNG might cause scenarios like the one you’ve experienced. In the long run your most played char will have better gear + corruptions.

I have far better corruptions on my hunter, my priest got an absolutely horrid leech 470 ring, and my main is still hoping for a good corruption to drop.

However, the system is fun and Blizzard is not being shy about fine tuning it.

Shrug.

And ? My herber took bis pants with best corruption (yes, my herber does M+ too occasionally, because I am bored) and my raider took… what she took… ‘glimpse of clarity’ … she is a bloody brew monk with no need for this corruption,. It gives her nothing.

I am going to still go in a raid with my monk, and not my herber.

Play what you like, not what the math tells you.

I think a lot of people would find more enjoyment if they didn’t focus so much on numbers and rankings.

[Lurian-auchindoun]

Claiming you are pushed into another character because of corrupted gear after 3 weeks of the system being live isnt called feedback.

Your post also lacks other things which are needed to give proper feedback:

• suggestion for change
• issues you are coming across and which are shared by many people.

So far, your post and replies show nothing of the above and are all based on only your personal experience.

I once again stand with the original post i made:
Play what you like and the things you need will come.

Be that:

• HoA level
• Corrupted Gear
• Upgraded legendary cloak
• etc etc.
