I'm confused.Will one malific core take my cloak to 92?
They really need to eliminate the weekly Malefic Core cap at this point. As bad as the system is, it's designed to check itself already. If you don't have enough currency to enter visions, you already can't progress.
OK so what Im reading is if you don't hae the cloak on an alt and upgrade it to 92 this week, $%^& it and take a nap till the 11th of September
It's a weekly reminder of what the new cap is. It's nice of them to keep track for us.
At this point the only people left playing are loyalists waiting for shadowlands. They need to remove the 2 core cap already....let us have fun with this system already. My guild is taking a raiding break so getting a n'zoth kill on my alts is like pulling teeth as most pug groups still can't beat him
Blizzard really did not think this trough.I do not raid so only 1 core a week for me and my cloak resistance is at 71. This means that on 8/4 i can have max 92 resistance which is the same as a fresh cloak in that week. From 8/11 onward my resistance is lower that that of fresh cloaks...
Removed
It's just wowheads way of telling blizzard the catch-up isn't working.
Hey, I hit rank 15 on my alt today - woot!So I need how many months to catch up, and if I don't raid... oh that's right, can never catch up. GG

They need to remove the weekly core cap ASAP. It should be +3 resistance (1 core) gained per full vision clear not per week.. Even then you are capped by the currency to buy the visions at 10k each anyways and you'd STILL be trying to catch up.
Gosh, this catch up system is the worst, how can people have fun with alts by the end of this expansion? How do I get friends to come play if I also have to tell them that no matter what they do they will never catch up? This is just stupid at this point.
Quick add to this since I learned that Malefic cores will not drop in the same week you hit rank 15, and is independent of the weekly reset. This was confirmed by a couple of GMs after I had filed a ticket. So if you hit rank 15 this week, you won't start getting Malefic cores from n'zoth kills, even after the weekly reset. This is what happened to me:1) Hit rank 15 cloak 6/152) Killed h n'zoth 6/16 after weekly reset, no maleific core dropped3) Filed a ticket 6/16 and was told by a couple of GMs that I would not receive any malefic core drop this week since I hit rank 15 this week even though it was before the weekly reset.4) It should drop for me after 6/22 resetI was not able to confirm whether horrific visions had the same rules because I didn't want to waste my vessel. This is a disappointment as I effectively lost one week of catchup on my alt. There doesn't seem to be any logical explanation why this restriction is in place. I would like to see this hotfixed because this is a hidden penalty for catching up to rank 15 on alts.
No, 1 malefic core increases your corruption resist by 3, if you're behind you can get 1 from a Vision full run and 1 from a N'zoth kill per week.
