RIP crafters who want to wear what they craft but also want corruption
The more I learn about it, the worse the Corruption system sounds - when it hits I'm sure, if left unchecked, I'll be removing all the corruption from my gear anyway, ESPECIALLY for a raid.
I still see no reason to use any corrupted gear beyond what you can negate by resistances. Of course by the time this goes live the whole corruption thing with be nerfed until the positives and negatives are both meaningless.
Because certain fights and at certain times having more corruption won't be as much of a negative as others this is going to require the elite raider to carry corrupted and non corrupted versions of their BiS gear. As the article points out above if the damage your taking from Grand Delusions at 40 corruption isn't going to kill you but you need the added dps, especially when content becomes farm and your just trying to top the meters. You will need a non corrupted version for your safety build and a corrupted version for when you need that extra umph...Remember Corrupted is like titan forged, its effects can make it outperform a similar ilvl piece of gear. Assuming you can handle the corruption. ;)
Let's make crafting relevant!But not today. Maybe in next expansion, maybe never.Ion said they want to repair many things, so why they are creating more problems now, instead of slowly fixing them? To make Shadowlands looks better? To make it looks like it repaired more problems than expected? For me it's starting to look like they are purposly creating problems to bravely fix them with next expansion and become heroes who saved World of Warcraft. It sounds very like Neron carp.
This is a bad idea, terrible system, dead on arrival.
My only quibble at the moment is that there's now a cost associated with purifying. A small one, sure, but still something more than we were previously told.
