Might be just me but targeting and getting the int sword felt more like a “silver medal” reward and i dont think raid gear should ever feel like that. I mean its r2 IS where i want/need r3. Dont get me wrong i liked targeting that piece (the first week of the raid i did carrapice 6 times for bonus rolls and 2 times every week till i got it) but thats because im overall unlucky when it comes to TF/corruptions and still there is a much better version of the corruption that i can’t target.
It is always like that. I remember I had a twink rogue with BiS items that some of them bought from AH.
Guess what? Gear > Skills since 2004
Not to this extend though. Yes when you have huge ilvl gap between you in gear you are gonna get steamrolled , but atm we are seeing people get flatlined because of some passive procs in PvP and people that are lets just say subpar in PvE getting purple parces because of some other passive proc.
Nice looking toon. Well done 
ye I mean i lost all motivation to bother with pushing due to corruption.
its a dice roll.
awful system

Such sincere opinion

P.s. hope you get r3 avoidance <3
I totally love the corruption system, it’s super fun and I really like it.
I don’t think it’s a problem that you can buy powerful gear for a high amount of gold.
However I do have a problem if that gold came from irl cash, which sucks real time.
By that logic, gear in its entirety should be removed since skill should matter.
Wow was never a game about skill, it was never a hard game and should never be ( As much as I really want it to be a hard game ), you do have a point but it’s not as severe as you make it to be, I don’t want to turn gearing into a mundane acquire stat sticks because I don’t want RNG at all in an MMORPG which is a genre that thrives on grinding and RNG.
I don’t want to hit a gear cap and feel like I can no longer progress no matter what I do, especially when the content I love ( M+ ) is uncapped.
I agree and echo these suggestions, besides that 100% chance on corruption on M+ since that’s silly.
Perhaps Corruptions should be less rare and more difficult content have a higher chance to corrupt.
I’d also like to add that Horrific visions loot drop should be always corrupted, it’s a 470 item a week, just like the weekly mythic chest.
This is a tough reminder of the old days that sucked big time.
You had to have 2-4 set pieces, a weapon and the raid trinkets to actually be viable back then.
And each of these milestones increased your dps by as much if note more than corruption did.

You’re joking, right? There are ppl who are 3k+io this season but couldn’t come close to that last season because their overall corruption reduces the difficulty of the dungeons they are doing…
You literally have people with TD on top im dungeons and IS on top in raids and both these corruptions are sometimes up to 70% of their overall dsmage
There are people doing 20s without bis coruptions… How?
Again… Im not saying coruptions are weak… But 70% of their overal dmg? Realy? Do they play with 150coruption or what?
Dude you’ve no idea what you’re talking about, R3 TD is around 6-8% of my M+ damage overall, huge boost yes, but nowhere near 70%.
I haven’t done much raiding yet, but my R3 Stars was at 8-9% of my damage dealt on a boss as well. It puts you from 55k dps to 60+k DPS, but it wont make you do 100k all of sudden.
I run m+ with dk tank and twilight devastation deals like 40% of his overall dps.
Because it’s a tank with 1mil HP and low DPS overall. TD does damage based on your HP percentage, therefore yeah TD will be a huge chunk of his damage dealt overall.
As a DPS class, the better your gear, the less impact corruptions have. In 430 ilvl maybe yeah, Stars or TD may do 25%of your Damage, but with 460+ ilvl it drops in value.
People are so clueless.
R2 TD is still 15% of my damage 
with ilvl we also get more HP.
Then you do 30k dps overall bro, and let the TD do the work for you:)
Do 60k dps at the end of an M+ run and then tell me how much % of that was TD.
Addition to that, having a extremely low RnG chance, can make game extremely long. If your drop chance is 20%, you need to run dungeon ~5 times to get what you need. But when your drop chance is 0.2% or 0.002%, you need to run what? 500 to 5000 times. That is like extremely easy way and cheap way of making game last long.
Guess what I been telling the whole month. Bro I made a topic saying the TD corruption is way too op. As dh I cannot compete in m+ because I don’t have it. Then I got people who actually said its not OP LOL… right
Look at those people? They’ve been at the top since forever…
You said that at higher levels skill>corruption. That’s fine but it’s not exactly the whole “truth”. Corruption makes dungeons extremely easy for people by reducing risk factors or damage checks simply because it allows them to complete a fight very quickly. This means that players with less experience or knowledge are able to breeze through encounters a lot easier than those who possess that experience.
I know of a few dh and warriors who run rank 3 and rank 2 TD’s simultaneously and TD ends up doing 40-50% of their damage (depending on procs ofc). Then you have tanks pulling 50k-60k overalls (and sometimes even 50-60k single target) because TD does so much damage. Pala healers who run TD also do ridiculous amounts of damage in dungeons…
Just look at the top 100 shadow priests for mythic maut. Most of them have IS damage up to 25-30% and that’s just one class. There was a mage in my raid recently whose IS procced so much that it did 57% of her damage >_<…
Of-course, the shorter the fight duration the less IS procs so try looking at some mediocre guild logs and you’ll see IS up to 40%+ of overall damage.

And u said coruption> skill which is even more further from truth than what i said…
So they push hardest content and u dare to say its because of their coruptions and not items? At 20+(25 is world highest in time?) things literaly oneshots you, and they play with like 80-90 coruptions, according to wjat you said. Man if u took average player he probably wouldnt even finish +10 if whole party had coruptiom like that, no matter dmg they do, they will die because coruption.
So once again, yes, coruption is strong, but it isnt as strong as u tell us it is, or think it is, and for sure those people doing 20+ keys are doing them because of their skill (team comp, comunication amd stuff) and not because of some lucky drops… Also, they did so many runs they have all kind of gear, so its like saying people on top are om top because they got better gear than me because they play more…
I couldn’t agree more with this!
With my main I don’t get any corruptions (I’ve like 2 items but they are trash for my spec).
I’ve done a normal raid with an Alt that I play very very casually (like a few hours a month) yet I’ve dropped the corruption I needed for my main (Twilight Devastation).
I’m quite angry now! I did a lot of things to get corruption yet I don’t get anything but the worst is when I get a corrupted item, it’s useless! I can drop it to the trash!
Also, there are people in My guild with some corrupted items that are doing 30% to 50% of their overall damage! That’s nuts!!
I mean I’m doing 45K damage to 50K because I got crap items and their are doing like 70K to 110K depending on the items but they have good ones.

Thank you for the r3 avoidance blessing, have a nice day^^ (also in case you did not know, it was a rhetorical question, I thought I made it obvious enough, but not for you apparently)
