Corrosive change is terrible

Lagzee · January 26

Can we get an actual reason on why this is getting nerfed so much? You increased the dmg cap from 3% to 8% now to 12%. And what was the reason given to give it 8%? Because it had a dot. Now it does not have a dot, and you nerf it even further to 12%? It makes no sense, and the dev comment doesnt either. Its like you've nerfed this skill 3 times over, can we at least build ult in it again?

I feel like this has to be an oversight because its just that bad of a change. Yes the DoT was completely over tuned on the PTS, but that does not mean nerfing it in such a massive way compared to where its at on live. If you're going to remove the dot, bring the damage cap back to 3%. Thats the only thing that makes sense. There was a reason to increase it to 8%, it was in a dev comment, because its getting more damage. But now that the DoT is gone, whats with the extra nerf?

Definitely killed my enthusiasm for the patch, this and the pointless removal of weapon/spell damage from Molten Whip... all while we're being gaslighted into thinking DK is getting buffed or made interesting with the "rework" ("renerf" more like it) - I guess PvP is just an afterthought in the end.

Current Corrosive is one of the Ultimates I feel best skirts the line exactly where you want, at least in PvP.

The "Live" version is strong, very strong, but very short, makes additional Penetration on a build a debatable weakness and a bargained liability, and is more recognizable than most abilities and not terribly hard to shut down or avoid by an opponent, unless the DK/player is careful.

It works as a fight flipper in the right hands, and it's good but not a guaranteed "I Win!" button and since they removed Ult Gen when it's active, I felt like Corrosive was among the best and most dialed in of major abilities in PvP.

The PTS version started off too strong, got overnerfed, and it's felt like they really can't decide what to do with it and that it's gonna wind up yet another unused waste on a pile already far too large.

PLEASE, ZOSers, don't change Corrosive with the DK Update. Give it flames and a paintjob and rewording, but don't bungle what's a surprisingly perfect Ability as it currently stands. It took you a long time to dial it in just right, don't throw it away.

ya i agree. was deff overtuned, but now that the dots gone i just dont see why it needs such a drastic nerf. Tbh its not even that common of an ult to see in pvp anymore.
