Afflicted is the worst affix in the history of M+, god help us all

Maybe play a spec which needs more then Zug zug

For me this depends on which flavor of explosives and which expansion we’re talking about. BFA explosives were awful, as were DF S1. SL explosives didn’t bother me much because I was fairly bored healing most keys anyway and seeing 117 explosives killed on details allowed me to feel like more than just the 4th gimped DPS who was only there for the 4 damage events the group couldn’t survive without a “healer.”

Sorry Blizzard didn’t want you to play the class you wanted to. Better go reroll.

On the other hand, this week you get a free ride for affixes. Enjoy being able to play the dungeon while not having to worry about affix chores.

I’m still waiting for the “Minecraft” affix, where upon key start, you’re fixed to first person mode.

Theres also zero notification they are popping up, they can start to appear where youre not looking and totally miss them. There is absolutely no tell like a sound or notification. And then trying to target them if theyre about to go off can be a pain to if there are a lot of bodies around them

We found our answer. Just delete warriors from the game ~applaud~

Please don’t take this as a dismissal of your complaints - I just wanted to offer a work-around in case you’re interested and willing to use a weakaura. This one is fantastic - it has a countdown timer bar, as well as visual and audio cues for when they spawn and how many. It also tells you when they’re all gone/cleared.

Afflicted and Incorporeal do suck for warriors.

But the worst affix? Dude, Thundering was a thing.

i wasnt the leader, i joined a pug group

i wasnt the leader i joined a pug group but

we had a priest, he could manage it alone with MD, but we also had a prot paladin that can heal and dispell, and a mage

only me and the warlock could not do anything about it

in fact me and the warlock were the only ones that actually knew how to do the dungeon and we were carrying hard the others but when the -100% haste buff hit us urgh pain and agony

i dont have problems when i’m in an AOTC only raid or a high io group

people just need to get better so the majority of players are good players and then we’ll have to wait less to get into good groups

See? Incorp is easy to deal with because ALL specs have some form of CC or hard CC to deal with it

EVERYONE can interact with it, you dont need to rely on others

only a couple of non healers can help with it, my class can’t do ANYTHING at all

are you saying that i should be banned from playing this week because of that?

just remove this horrible affix and the problem is fixed

"Are you sad and depressed? Well, just stop being sad and depressed lol easy fix

So basically ban all specs that cannot deal with it, really good game design, very healthy

You must be kidding or trolling, i’m not even

no wait i am going to explain the OBVIOUS to you because there’s a tiny small possibility you ACTUALLY are being serious

I have multiple alts you see? I’m not obligated to only play my Ret Paladin, which is my current main, i also have other toons and one of them is a Fury Warrior

there you go Captain Obvious lmao

i play high keys on M+ since BFA and i can GARANTEE you that none of those are as bad as Afflicted, you wanna know why?

Because no matter what class/spec i played, i could always DEAL WITH IT, i could always INTERACT with it somehow, it was in MY CONTROL to solve the problem, instead of being 100% obligated to rely on random people to solve it for me

Don’t talk to me like i’m some noob that is only doing low keys lmao

I wanna play the class i wanna play with the spec i wanna play, is that hard to understand?

You get it

That’s literally the problem i’m talking about in the topic lol

I WANT TO WORRY ABOUT AFFIX CHORES

I don’t want to rely and have to trust random people to solve the problem for me because i will be punished for their mistake

If i wasn’t punished for their mistake sure, but i am

Change Afflicted to just debuff healers and maybe they won’t ignore it

I must be playing wrong. The dps classes I go most often with in m+ are warlock, hunter, warrior.

Having no issue this week with afflicted.

Does one poison totem dispel both afflicted?

Yes.

Man, that’s nice.

It really is. I ignore every other afflicted spawn (due to cd), in the sense that it spawns, I hit totem, I move on.

Or I just check to see if there are two, I hit totem, move on.

I typically try to get 1 other dispeller in my group as a back up. And I am perfectly fine with loading up on all of those “dead” classes that feel they have to sit out.

Wrong. Afflicted can’t be mass dispelled.

You make it sound so simple.

Or maybe that pally and mage you grouped with could use their tool kits and help out.
