You'll see exactly why Blizzard decided to remove Area Damage procs from the seasonal power abilities, why the firewall and meteros were improved and more, so it's definitely worth a look!

Specific Vendor Corruptions Prediction Theories Specific Vendor Corruptions Prediction Theories Update: The second theory has been debunked, as it's predicted items did not show up in today's list!
We have some possibly good news for all the people still chasing their perfect Corruption setup (which would be most players everywhere), as two separate theories have come up predicting which Corruptions will appear at what time in MOTHER's shop. Both theories are based on the Corruptions that we've seen so far, so neither has the full info for all Corruptions yet and both predict entries in different time frames, so their predictions don't conflict with each other.
