Afflicted = healers problem

There are legit concerns.

I seen its harder to get into higher groups as a Lock/hunter so I am sure rouge/warr/DK/DH are all in the same boat this week. Blizzard should have done better- Epic fail.

I pugged to top 2 percent, last season. I am 2600 this season pugging only. Yesterday I raid lead Heroic without knowing any boss mechanics and got to the same point as you in one day.

If you think he is bad. What are you? You have BiS gear on and are sitting there hardstuck. I have 2p and a 411 trinket on.

what support do warriors add LOL no brez, no lust, no externals like pallies, no grips like dk’s…a stun I guess? rally, assuming they use it. idk warriors are typically not on the list of classes that bring much besides damage to a key. maybe I’m overlooking their value.

Hunters have 0 ability to handle this week’s affix

To be fair they do bring a pretty fat buff too. However you aren’t wrong they have no utility for the most part. This ret paladin is just super delusional.

I guess because they play a class that it isn’t a problem on. It’s not a problem for anyone else XD

Meanwhile us real players are out here skipping right over warriors for the shaman in queue.

oh, yes I overlooked that. they bring a nice buff to physical damage, but if you’ve got two int users, that buff is only helping the tank :woman_shrugging:

Trouble with reading huh? Figured youd learn that in preschool. See i said LAST weeks affix. Reading comprehension is hard.

Congrats? Some of us dont care about m+ as much as you do. Either way you doing 20’s is besides the point. This affix is no harder on a 12 than a 20. So again your point is irrelevant.

They bring shout too. Your overlooking alot. Ontop of really good m+ dps.

apparently not nearly as much as you have trouble stringing sentences together.

yep, they do, a buff to phys damage. not super helpful if the group has two casters, but I guess the tank will benefit.

If I told you we could go sky diving and we went.

Then I told you there is two stacks of Parachutes. Pile A 5/5 can open on the way down. The other pile B 2/5 can open.

Which one are you picking? A or B

Regardless of you saying it’s just fine with only 2-3 cleansers. Experienced players are going to hard stack 5 in their groups because it increases the odds of success. 5 eyes are always going to be better than 2 especially when the game already creates situation’s within itself to make it hard to deal with them. Maybe the healer is stuck healing and 2 people are forced to move characters. Well if you have 5 dispels that’s less of an issue for your party.

You can keep living in this dream world where that isn’t the case but it is.

Im on a phone so cool… be a grammer N on a internet forum.

Also theres more physical dps than magic so they benefit more ppl overall. I was referring to rallying cry, thats my bad on name.

Its not a healer problem, in fact its probably the most braindead affix yet, the only challenging part about it is that (like incorporeal) that the things can spawn behind you some and its annoying. The punishment isnt good for failing it, but its not the end of the world either.

Your other DPS can easily take their dispel if they are hybrids, hybrid healing is good enough to heal BOTH of them if you had to, and the healer can dispel one/heal one quickly if your hybrid DPS are idiots (Assuming you chose to bring a hybrid DPS).

This is not just a healer problem, and for someone to say otherwise shows either greed or incompetence.

Your wrong, but its ok. Your example was so different its not even funny. Just wow…

I guess when your bad and need to be carried you think like this.

I pugged a ton of keys this week so far. Every group I have been in the dps and myself have been dispelling. I was in 1 group with a healer that had 0 dispels when I looked at the end. Your joining bad groups I guess. It’s 1 global to dispel. This affix is a joke as long as you have 2 dispels in the group. Even mages can deal with them.

Its not hard you just have ppl like this mage and pally who need 5 dispels or cc’s cus they cant play their class correctly.

The pally ill give leeway cus casting as a tank is a no no, but the mage can cc last weeks. This week the pally can dispel. Yet they need 4 other ppl…

What a joke.

Really don’t understand the complaints about this affix or incorporeal. Both are braindead easy to handle. I spent most of my week fighting with other people to the CC on incorporeal. Both affixes are so much easier to handle than old explosive (vastly easier… vastly) or really most of the other affixes. Its one or two gcds and done. It’s not pure misery for healers like explosive, giga bursting stacks, bolstering stacked, or even how rough raging can be for both the tank and healer. I think people are just coddled and used to riding piggy back on tanks/heals that now they have to push something other than DPS cooldown it’s too much.

Yep, they dont even change difficultly depending on key lvl. Its just easy. In no realm should u need 5 ppl who can cc or dispel, period. Get two who are actually good at their specs.

the joke is you look at the avatar and assume that’s what I’m playing. Yes, I’m doing keys on my level 50 mage :roll_eyes:

fwiw, I don’t think either affix is hard. I actually prefer this week’s over last, because it’s an instant cast and gone, last week my cc (soothe) had a cast time, which is problematic when tanking. but still, not a hard affix.

imo the hardest thing about this week’s affix is sometimes they’re hard to spot & they can spawn inside other mobs, which makes things a pain.

this whole “discussion” has been on the lack of ability for some classes to handle the affix at all. While 2 people can handle the affix, It’s undoubtedly easier with more than 2 people in the group who can handle it.

Lol ahh the fools, they just jump to insults when they have no relevant info to add. Honestly i didn’t look at your avatar cus i couldn’t care less about a coward who hides behind a different name.

Just like how you called me out for something that i literally stated was last week. Yep…

Keep trying, eventually you will make a statement that is somewhat relevant/makes sense.

Its only easier if your players are bad. If they are like you then sure you might need 5, however every group ive been in both weeks needed only me and 1 other. THAT doesn’t change on key lvl.
