Fair, albeit the ‘buff’ is at lower ends. High yield ward generation methods don’t as much anymore as the falloff is higher for high values.
And 1k+ corruption.
Yes, I know there’s some life builds which can reach it still, always was the case. But they’re far harder to sustain then Ward was, you simply had more EHP with the old system in most cases. Not without reason the corruption ceiling had come down quite a bit for many many builds.
As said, exceptions apply.
