This new afflicted affix is left to the healer for the most part. Once in a while a dps or tank will dispel. Not to mention the classes without CC last week seemingly can’t dispel this week. They are useless in runs to put it lightly.
Groups shocked when they die after a 100% haste debuff goes off when the healers one, maybe two dispels are on CD or they are spam healing to keep the group alive.
Unless I’m with my normal five stack no reason for me to join pugs to heal this week.
TLDR: Not enjoying afflicted, worse new affix by far.
lol after a boss fight i was oom. dispel one, not enough mana to heal the other. stare at it, tank stares at it, goes off.
its a very easy and kinda fun affix if you have atleast 1 other person helping
its a little less fun when you have to heal them. its prob just my spec because rdruid is not the fastest at topping them
Please stop spreading the idiotic rumor that dk and wars are useless this week and last. Its flat out wrong. At max only 2 can spawn, a group is 5 ppl.
They still add dps and support etc. Even with both the affixs are inconsequential. Afterall 3>2.
If you fail with a war or dk in group its not their fault but yours if you can cc or dispel. If they are beating you on dps while you can cc and dont it is infact you who are useless.
As a hunter you should have absolutely zero issues in ANY group with last weeks affix. Abit more this week but still its easy as heck to deal with.
I’ve had the opposite experience. Most of the hybrid dps that can dispel are helping. One shaman (dps or heals) with poison cleansing totem can take care of half of them without having to target anything. This is a pretty easy affix.
This is my experience too so far. This week most of the pug’s I join have dps are grabbing and using their dispels. So much so that sometimes I didn’t even need to dispel at all and some spawns we were all fighting to dispel them at the same time xD
Easy affix, unless you run with bads that think it’s a healer only affix and you get them spawning during a heal check where every GCD is important. Id steer clear of those groups/people. For every 1 dps that doesn’t use dispels this week there are probably 2-3 more that are using dispels covering for the lazy dps.
Lol i dont understand ppl who dont do it either. Its literally one button, cleanse or repentance for me. Takes 1 gcd and i saved the heals a headache and did my dang job lol.
Please don’t call people bad when you are failing +17 key’s with 4 set and BiS trinket.
You aren’t understanding what they are telling you.
What’s better. Having 5/5 people who can deal with the affix. Or having 1/5 that can deal with it? Especially when healer’s sometimes need to keep healing and don’t have the downtime to deal with them.
This isn’t rocket science, it’s basic math. And in actual high keys, you know the ones you aren’t doing. People aren’t taking Warriors or DK’s because of this. That’s an actual fact. So far I ran with one Warrior this week, and he was literally the leader lmfao
Every group I am in fills to the brim with Spriests, Shamans, and Paladins this week. I would imagine Priest heals too, but I am Hpal so I wouldn’t see that.
