Anybody else noticing that NM dungeons with the “resource burn” affix notes that attacks from a distance are supposed to burn your resource, but in reality the game is burning your resource at close range too, so against mobs you basically can’t use your core skills at all?
Weird

Yes seems so.
Had discovered the same issue. Dungeons are most unplayable with this mode for me.
Yes, every damage drains your resources, highly annoying
Does anyone actually run those dungeons? They are just instant scrap for me.

Unplayable and zero response from Blizzard (after 24+ hours). Pathetic.

They were the same before the patch, been auto salvage for me for a long time.

Noticed that a while back (before patch) and I insta salvage those. It seems like certain enemies are flagged as distant attackers and it doesn’t matter if you get in their faces or not.
These dungeons are completely unplayable. Don’t even bother with them. Try going into a mob with WW Barb and you can’t do anything but die.
Technically any mob out of a melee range is “distant”.

Yeah, but they still burn your resource even if you are in melee range with them it seems.
I tried a 21 nmd and just couldn’t stay alive with no mana.
I chuck any sigil with that affix lol. Not salvage… throw away on the ground, douse it with fire and burn it to ashes, then take those ashes and make a grey paint and then paint the words “Never Again” all over Kyovashad…

Ok glad I’m not alone. I figured it was forcing me to learn to dodge better or something, but it was mostly unplayable and I was only really able to use my core skills once I got to the boss… did clear the dungeon with one revive left but will probably avoid those ones from here on out lmao
Rerolled dungs with resource born.
Don’t worry, in the season, they made it worse. The Vicious affix on elites is Resource Burn. Now you can’t avoid something that prevents you from being able to attack at all.
Not only is it burning at close range, its also nearly triple what its supposed to be. My affix said 12% resource burn, yet I tested with a single mob and it was doing 30% per hit, regardless of range.
AND I had the caged heart that supposedly reduces resource burn by 70%, which does not work in any way. Resource burn NM are insta-sells.

Same, scrap them every single time, absolute worst.
If I see resource burn on the sigil it gets instantly salvaged. I don’t care if I can overcome the “challenge” or not. Not dealing with it.
It’s probably “ranged attacks”, not “attacks made from distance”, so if you melee attack ranged mobs, they’re still going to burn your resource. This kind of thing is par for the course at Blizzard Entertainment.
Yep. Game devs don’t play the game so they have no idea that close enemies are also burning your resources.
I can’t believe I payed for this garbage.
