BFA 8.3 - Targeted Corruptions and Faster Cloak Empowerment (Updated June 16th)

Today, Blizzard shared some updates in reference to both ranking up the cloak and the rotation that the Preserved Contaminants are on.

If you're interested in the changes to ranking up the legendary cloak, then the final paragraph tells all:

After analyzing hundreds of thousands of permutations on the most efficient path to empower Ashjra’kamas, MOTHER has shown Wrathion how to make Torn Pages more potent so you can upgrade your cloak to Rank 15 quicker. Now, each Rank up to Rank 15 can be achieved in a single Horrific Vision. For example, upgrading your Rank 13 cloak to Rank 14 now only requires 2 Torn Pages of “The Final Truth” (was 6), so if you’re currently in possession of 2 or more pages, you’ll turn them all in and immediately complete that quest. The following quest to upgrade from Rank 14 to 15 will then require that you go get 2 more new Torn Pages (was 8). The requirements for further minor upgrades to the cloak after Rank 15 with Malefic Cores have not been changed.

Blizzard just released a post talking about how they're going to be changing the acquisition of Corruptions, adding additional sources of Echoes of Ny'alotha, and hastening the time it takes to rank-up the legendary cloak by lowering the cost of vessels.

I understand that a lot of multiboxers don't run much corruption due to it being difficult to deal with, but here are the prices of everything:

Item	Cost (Echoes of Ny'alotha
Vessel of Horrific Visions	1750
R3 Essence	2500
Masterful I	3000
Siphoner I	4250
Twilight Devastation I	6250
Siphoner II	6300
Ineffable Truth II	6750
Racing Pulse III	7875
Echoing Void III	12000
Twilight Devastation	15000

well, guess it's time to farm echoes

it's nice that we can target them and apply them to whatever item we want.

This is going to be epic, excited to see if this helps us push the envelope on difficulty to a higher level.

Yeah I suspect with stacking the right corruption we should be able to push keys 2-5 higher than where we're currently sitting. That's my guess anyways. I don't think a +10 would be completely out of sight with a rank 15 cloak and stacked corruption.

I usually run less than 40 corruption on my teams. I think the melee team it's a bit easier to stack corruption on just because I'm moving them so much most of the time anyways. Anything over 40 and a character can get zerged down pretty quickly.

Well seeing solo players doing things like
50% haste
50% Twilight Dev tanks with 1million+ health
Versatility stacking
and such, things are getting ridiculous.

I want to try and stack 50%+ Leech on my DH's, and maybe full Infinite Stars on my druids. Still wondering what would be good on the hunters. Is there a cap on range with Marksman hunters mastery? How funny would +50% mastery to all source be on MM.

Agreed on all points. It definitely raises the mythic + threshold. My guess is a +15 is doable If really well geared.

For a melee team it seems like they can handle the corruption a bit better because they are moving. I’ve leaned toward 39 as the max. Where a ranged team anything more than 25 felt too much. So it basically gives an extra 14-15~ corruption as an option.

The builds that everyone is making are interesting. It feels like the Wild West with all the new builds coming about.
