My prediction is healers are gonna go on a strike and be shouted at for wipes. Whats yours?

Yeah, I probably won’t heal many keys this week unless the DPS learn how to use their utility to assist. lol.

Mine is it’s the second week of me having to beg guildies to let me come to their keys because it’s yet another affix that some idiot who doesn’t even play the game over at Blizzard made that excludes entire classes and forces you to bring others.

Affixes need to be something ALL classes can interact with. These just feel bad overall due to exclusions of select classes in the playerbase.
I do hypothetically prefer this affix over Incorporeal as I can insta-cleanse as Prot Pally instead of a cast timer turn evil/repentance. Though, others can’t interact with this affix at all and that sucks.

Done just one key… i don’t want to heal anymore this week. I can’t believe i miss explosive or grievous.
Afflicted is just horrible

Exactly. Entangled was actually a good affix, I liked it, it went on everyone and everyone had to deal with their own entangled, we didn’t need to bring a Paladin to Freedom us or something dumb like that. But these affixes that require certain things that some classes just do not have access to is infuriating. And yeah it’s slightly better than Incorporeal, but it’s still just so tiring to deal with as a class that now has had 2 weeks with an affix I can’t do anything about.

Looked it up cause I’m new to M+ and omg why…
Most of my healing comes from Fistweaving and HoTs not to mention I heal via VuhDo and doubt it’ll show a bar for that Afflicted Spirit 
Ok there may be a way via Special NPC >.> but still sucks as it’ll be a distraction I’ll probably have to use Soothing Mist on and spam Vivify
Have not healed this week, does it also pop during boss fights ?

I would imagine so, since they act as generic adds like explosives incorporeal, etc. They aren’t tied to specific conditions like mobs dying and creating a spiteful shade.

Why wouldn’t you just cleanse it?

Dispel heavy dungeons may not be able to exactly waste it safely if it’s a safe option sure though.
Oh come on. Afflicted is not a bad affix. You can’t just make this thread every single week saying the exact same thing about how it’s a deal breaker. You can dispel, heal or LoS it. It’s a minor annoyance and if you take the debuff not one of the five of you has a brain cell collectively.
Yeah. Detox only has an 8-second cooldown. Probably a much less GCD-intensive option than direct healing the add.

I really don’t understand why some of you are begging for more responsibility within the dungeon.
If you are a class that has nothing to handle afflicted. Guess what? Be relieved that it’s not your problem to deal with.
Once again, only 1-2 people are needed to handle the affix. The other 3 spots don’t have to worry about it at all.
You don’t need all 5 people with dispels.

This affix is literally so free. It’s not just on the healer either. Anyone with a dispel/cleanse or heal can counter.
As usual people are making mountains out of molehills.

Because they don’t get invited. As a spriest I can thankfully deal with both while not being a healer but I imagine not being accepted non stop is a nightmare for 2 weeks.

i love it
ive been dpsing with my friend on heals to get her ksh and we’re having a blast
Then you’re wrong, because no class can’t do ANYTHING about afflicted, you can LoS the debuff altogether.
Literally nobody has to take afflicted.
Ok hopefully if I do run M+ will be able to handle it will set up VuhDo fpr NPCs and just in case look into alternative options possibly a mouse over dispell macro or target macro I guess 
Again, groups do not need to 5 stack to counter the affix.
