BFA 8.3 - Targeted Corruptions and Faster Cloak Empowerment

[MiRai]

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.
