Corrupted Items Update on 8.3 PTR

Recommended Posts

46821-everything-we-know-about-the-corru

The side effects you get from Corrupted Items have changed on 8.3 PTR again.

As you probably know, Corrupted Items are making their way into the game in Visions of N'Zoth. These items come with a Benthic-like buff and +Corruption, which activates various side effects based on your current level of Total Corruption. Cleansing the item not only removes the +Corruption stat, but also its beneficial effect.

Blizzard has been working with multiple iterations of Corrupted Items on 8.3 PTR and side-effect ranges. Here's what we currently have on the PTR:

Corrupted Items

Items touched by N'Zoth's influence grant great power, but expose bearers to dangers of increasing severity.

  • Grasping Tendrils Grasping Tendrils (1 Corruption) - Taking damage has a chance to reduce your movement speed for 5 sec. The magintude of the snare increases with further Corruption.
  • Eye of Corruption Eye of Corruption (20 Corruption) - Your spells and abilities have a chance to summon an Eye of Corruption for 8 sec. The Eye inflicts increasing Shadow damage to you every 2 sec while you remain in range. Range and damage increase with further Corruption.
  • Grand Delusions Grand Delusions (40 Corruption) - Taking damage has a chance to summon a Thing From Beyond, which pursues you for 8 seconds. Its speed increases with further Corruption.

  • Cascading Disaster Cascading Disaster (60 Corruption) - If you are struck by the Thing From Beyond, you will be immediately aflicted by Grasping Tendrils and Eye of Corruption.

Recent 8.3 Changes

  • Previously, we had the effects activate at 10/20/40/60 Corruption as opposed to 1/20/40/60.
  •  Eye of Corruption Eye of Corruption previously summoned a corrupted zone, but the eye is much more visible.
  • Inevitable Doom Inevitable Doom which was available at 60 Corruption was removed and replaced with Cascading Disaster Cascading Disaster.

Problem I have is you'll need to carry a bunch of them around like a toolkit, "This boss I can't afford to get immobilized or I die, this one though I can wear this ring cause we never move"

Great for those raid encounters where mobility is key to prevent a raid wipe. "Uh guys I just got hit by an impossible-to-dodge AOE attack and am slowed, but I am carrying this huge *filtered* bomb that's about to explode and wipe the entire raid." 3... 2... 1...

Zek'voz Mythic from Uldir is a great example here (Last raid I played since I quit WoW). Titan Spark being the AOE ability that targets random enemies while Roiling Deceit being the bomb that is guaranteed to wipe the raid. But I'm sure you can come up with plethora other encounters where being slowed by damage is just a raid killer unless you are a class that has movement that doesn't rely on movement speed (Example given: Disengage, blink.)

 

 

Edit: Really, the part of your body you use to sit in the chair is censored/filtered? The terms of use on Icy-Veins is upholding COPPA law which means you need to be at least 13 years old to be here. /fliptable

Smart and sensible people will pocket a lot of the gear till they have adequate resistance before equipping.  This may take time and scrutinizing certain pieces for select scenarios.....

Dumb people will equip it all no matter what and complain constantly for unwanted deaths in raids, keystones, and other forms of content and expect to be carried/healed through their own gear selection blunder.

So.. 80% of player? can't wait to see the DH class play at over 9000 corruption and still be able to do everything just fine.

When you have players that refuse to understand when it comes to stacking corrupted pieces with 0 resistance then yes.  Even the DH class can not withstand a staggering amount of corruption w/o gaining a decent amount of resistance.

Class with heavy movement like DH , Monk , BM hunter for example will have a big advantage early in the patch , they can almost nullified the first and second effect. It won't matters latter when ppl will get some resistance but how much time it will take?

It also depends on the corruption stat rng that is attached to that piece of gear.  There is I believe, not sure, 3-4 grades of corruption that can be added on a piece of gear ranging from 10-75 (still in PTR testing I think).  However pending on x amount of times when the snaring/slow debuff goes off may not mix well during Sanguine, Volcanic, and Quaking weeks for keystones.   Even if you can Fel Rush or Vengeful Retreat for most of it you are still at the mercy of the debuff waiting for skills to come off cooldown.  What may even be a possibility if the debuff can negate movement cd's all together making your character stay put for duration.

I actually disagree with nullifying the second effect. The problem is it relies on the boss moving, not so much you. I mean it depends how big the circle is at what levels of corruption, but if it's big enough you may make a lot of zones that you can't really escape if you also have to stand on the boss to deal damage.

      Today's hotfixes are still very Plunderstorm-heavy, but we do get fixes for more achievement-related mount issues and PvP catch-up, in addition to the limited time event's adjustments.
      March 27 (Source)
      Achievements
      Fixed bugs causing mounts related to A World Awoken to be unavailable, including Bestowed Ottuk Vanguard, Bestowed Trawling Mammoth, Bestowed Thunderspine Packleader, Bestowed Sandskimmer, Bestowed Ohuna Spotter, Coralscale Salamanther, Stormtouched Bruffalon, and Taivan. Player versus Player
      Fixed an issue that prevented Splintered Sparks of Dreams from dropping from PvP sources while eligible for catch-up. Plunderstorm
      The Storm’s fury swells! Lightning strikes during the final stage of the Storm are faster and more dangerous than before. There is now a delay of 20 seconds after being revived where players no longer drop collected Plunder. Additional enemies now spawn at Witherbark Village, the wild area northeast of Go’Shek Farm, and the wild area between Witherbark Village and Boulderfist Hall. Fixed an issue where swapping back to default sword and gun appearances were not saving correctly. Fixed an issue so that now, picking up an additional rank 2 spell while the same rank 2 spell is equipped properly grants the rank 4 version of the spell. The Captain’s Orders quest “X Marks the Spot” now requires 1 item to be picked up (was 2 items).

      Well that didn't take long! We found out someone had broken the 700,000 Plunder milestone yesterday evening, and we're already done with the full amount now! Soularpower_ managed to grind it out a couple of hours ago in duos, and grabbed the Plunderkind achievement, so huge congratulations! It's been a week and a day since the event was released, and despite there being plenty of Plunder drop buffs since then it's still great to see someone get it all done already. 


      Unsurprisingly, the first thing Soularpower_ after reaching that goal was... play more Plunderstorm! He's actually still at it if now you want to check the stream out.

      Here's our first post-patch look at the Mythic+ log rankings. While the patch didn't really touch any of the DPS or tank specs, there's still some movement there, especially in the raw DPS chart. Healers got some solid changes in the patch, and the definitely had an effect.
      Warcraft Logs Points
      The below logs are based on POINTS, and not actual damage or healing, meaning they log the timed completion for the specs, with higher keys getting more points, obviously. The time in which the dungeon is completed is also a factor, but a much, much smaller one, as it grants very few points if you do it significantly faster than just any in-time completion. We're also using the Normalized Aggregate Scores numbers, for clarity, meaning the top spec is marked as 100 and then the rest are ranked in relation to that peak point.
      All Keys
      95th percentile DPS
      The top percentiles are extremely stable, which makes sense since the patch didn't really bring any significant changes for DPS specs. We have to go down to number 7 to see the first bit of movement, as Destruction moves two up, leaving its fellow Warlock down in 9th, as Arms gets between them, gaining 3 spots. Havoc closes out the top 10 three down, and right behind it we find the newly buffed Elemental moving three up. While Augmentation is being properly calculated, we still find an Evoker in the bottom 3, as Devastation drops one down and takes Marksmanship's place.

      Mythic+ All Keys 95th Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      All Percentiles
      It took Shadow a little longer to get into the top in the generalist bracket, as we find it in 3rd now, pushing Outlaw down one. Balance also moves up, 2 spots into 6th, as it and Arms take advantage of Havoc's fall. The Demon Hunter finds itself 3 down in 9th, while Fury remains stable at the very end of the top 10.

      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      Raw DPS U.GG DPS Rankings
      U.gg's rankings are based on actual DPS taken from Warcraft Logs data, focusing on the top players and span the past two weeks.
      While Outlaw remains at the top, pretty much everything's changing beneath it. Shadow and Retribution joined forces and moved two up together, breaking into the top 3. Fire is also on the rise, gaining 3 spots, and right behind it we find another big leaper, as Arms moves a whopping 5 spots up.
      Mythic+ All Keystone DPS rankings by u.gg.
       
      All Percentiles Tank (Points)
      There's actually some solid movement here, as we see Paladin take 2nd away from DK and Druid take Monk down, with Warrior remaining in last place and DH being far ahead of the pack.
      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      Healer (Points)
      Healers had some significant changes with the patch, but it hasn't stopped Monk from remaining at the top. Druid moves into 2nd, taking Discipline Priest down a peg, and it seems the Holy Priest patch reworks helped it out, as it gains a spot in 4th.

      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.

      In Dragonflight Season 4, Awakened/Fated raids will be on a weekly rotation.
      Upon accessing the Adventure Guide and navigating to the Raids section, you'll notice a green gem icon beside the raid that's Awakened for the current week.

      When a raid is Awakened, bosses are more powerful and loot drops are upgraded to a higher item level. The upcoming season revisits the Fated system introduced in Shadowlands Season 4.

      We've already taken a look at all the items coming to the Trading Post next month, as the Season 4 PTR revealed them, but now let's see them in movement as well! MrGM has detailed everything coming in April, from the awesome Dreadwake mount to a pretty cool polearm, some new capes, and all the other pirate-themed items. Let's take a look. 

      If you'd rather just scroll through some images, you can head on to our original post here.
