You’re saying that TD isn’t OP at all, yet you’re walking round in a pair of 410 trousers after running all dungeons on a +15-16. Those 410 trousers are better than ALL the other pieces of trousers you’ve gotten, because of TD, and yet, your TD is only r2.
That alone should say a lot, a 410 piece of armour with a R2 PASSIVE ability is stronger than any 460+ items you get, so imagine that being a R3 instead.
We have a DH in our raid group that their top damage is r3 IS. I have R2 on this and it’s max damage is about 150k a proc, where as r3 is around 250k a proc. It does around 20% of their max damage, and they’re top of the board getting purple logs.
Checking logs of every other class, and the corruption is the difference between the people with Orange logs and the people with Blue (Can be said for all rankings of the logs).
Just think, I went from Blue/Purple (And a few orange) logs in Battle for Dazar’alor, to grey logs. My kill on Carapace tonight, I did 40k dps, and that was a grey 9 log (Probably could have gotten it higher if I used beam instead of my ST essences as well). But, the fact of the matter is, Skill doesn’t always beat corruption.
I’ve played with a friend who’s terrible at Affli lock, I’ve always been able to beat him, yet because he has TD R3 for M+and IS rank 3 for raids, he out-damages me by a good amount, those 2 corruptions being his top damaging spell and doing a good 20-25% of his damage, where as my r2 IS is only doing 5-10%.
