You physically cannot heal through some of the fixate. Bracken hide and Freehold have them, if you get hit by them and you don’t kite them out or stun them you die.

Well I mean A) you’re one of the classes that benefits from the affix in that you have heals and a cleanse so you’re more likely to be invited to keys as any of your roles… and…
B) you think it’s trivial because you’re doing low keys. If you were doing higher keys and were the only member of the group to be able to take care of the affix, you’d find yourself in situations where you have to choose between potentially falling behind in heals or handling the affix. And if you choose to ignore the affix and let it go off, you get slapped with a giant haste debuff, which makes you fall behind even more.
This, inevitably, will lead you to stack your group with multiple members who can take care of the affix… which means you don’t invite classes that CAN’T help with this week’s affixes. So that means your meta pug group this week is at least 1 lust, at least 1 bres, optimally 1 or more soothe for raging, and 2+ afflicted classes. Think about what you’d want in your group and where that leaves warriors/dk/dh/etc etc. THEN think about last week, where we had Incorporeal, where two of these classes, war and dk, ALSO were on the short end of the stick. That’s why these affixes are garbage. You have multiple weeks in a row where people can’t pug unless they have some monster overqualification stats.
The fact that YOU think this affix is easy is irrelevant because YOU play a class that has tools to take care of it AND you limit yourself to trivial content in this game. Remember back in early S1 where warriors were the best tanks by a mile, ret was trash and spent more time facedown in the dirt than doing bad dps, and holy was pretty much the worst healer in keys? That’s what it probably feels like to be a warrior/dk right now. Stuck getting rejected from 16’s when everyone else is spamming 20’s.
So many deaths this week due to Fixate + Raging while trinket farming. Zero deaths from Afflicted or Incorp last week.
Warriors last week saying they didn’t have any way to deal with the affix but were told they could help out with it. This week they can’t do anything about it at all so all they get to do is enjoy the regular dungeon mechanics and do DPS which is what they wanted to do all week last week anyways.
What do you mean they have to compete with the dozens of other DPS who already have higher gear and rating? Say it isn’t so. That is pug life since day one.

…then you don’t need to worry about them.
Afflicted don’t affect anyone if they’re line of sight.
If they’re around the corner, then they’re line of sighting the group, which means their cry won’t hit the party.
If they’re in a cluster of mobs, then they’re very clearly visible and you should not have trouble seeing them as a healer. Your attention should be on the mobs as a healer as well. If you aren’t paying attention to the mobs the group is fighting as a healer, you aren’t doing your job.
You can use bop to save party members targeted by fixate.
LMAO. This is your contribution? BOP that has a 5 minute CD? When every pull leading to the first boss has Fixate? You also said members. No, BOP can only save 1.
Sounds like a skill issue to me.
I’m not the one dying. Good to know you literally have no argument and now you are just straight up trolling.
Sorry, got caught up with a thing before responding. Isolating this week definitely shows a meaningful uptick of paladins, shamans, priests, and druids. In fact, the only other notable statistic beyond the have-nots being underselected is that MW is steady on with its numbers from past weeks.
It being Week #4 with a sample size of ~41k players notwithstanding, I think maybe taking the seasonwide numbers and trying to make the case that nothing’s wrong this week simply with those as a basis dilutes fair analysis a hair. This is definitely a this-week problem. To be clear, I think Incorp is appropriate. Afflicted is clearly unique in the field with regard to impact and exclusivity.
Does this mean Warlock can? With Succy?
That is for incorporeal, something more locks already had fear and banish to deal with them. If anything, that is more to deal with death Knights and Priests while also giving warriors the ability to delete them with Shattering throw.
A stealth hotfix was put out allowing that to happen before but Control undead was 100% busted so they reverted it. Guess they fixed that bug and let it work again.
I already answered someone saying the same thing.
Oh, lmao duh. Idk why I thought it was about Afflicted.
It’s not a healer affix…
Try this in the second pack in vortex and see you group die as both wind debuffs come in instantly. If any debuff which rips your group don’t get despelled by the heal because of bad players like you it’s gg.
Incorporeal got nerfed already and it was far better to deal with.
Afflicted will follow soon as it gets far more hate than incorporeal.
It’s garbage game design

you need ppl with dispel for this afix and the classes that can do that are few, making the other classes not be considered in order to be accepted in stones. It’s like a jade temple that you were only looking for a mague or shaman to remove the curse and that’s disgusting in an affix
“Few.”
Everyone except Rogue, Warlock, Warrior, Hunter, and Demon Hunter can contribute to the current new affix yet you will still probably want those classes for other reasons (Rogue and Hunter can dispel raging, which kills more people than Afflicted, warrior does mongo damage and demon hunter can buff caster damage).
Feels nice that I can’t play Arms 2 weeks in a row.
Guess I’m tanking this season, again.
lmao.
