There’s no logical reason why some classes have zero way to help with the new affixes.
This is just further gatekeeping M+ groups, which is already enough of an issue for pug’ing. It makes absolutely no sense.
Everyone should be able to talent into something to deal with afflicted/Incopr. Idk how this toxic oversight was not only never considered, but also still not fixed.
If you have to change the affixes, sure. If you have to just replace one of the “never take” talents on classes to give them a solution, sure. This is not a hard issue to fix, but I really thought something would’ve been done by now.

My idea was that crafters should be able to make a consumable that everyone can then use to deal with affix’s.
this way there is no class call.
I was able to do keys this week and i dont have dispel and i pug

You mean ways to handle Affixes?
Because there is. Many of them.
Your highest key is a 10. You can literally let every affix go off in a 10 and still time it.

Half the classes in the game have 0 way to assist with afflicted, which frequently spawns 2.

What’s my class affix ? Rage burst, prideful or Fortified 
Afflicted is the only problem in the bunch. Let’s get real, this is purely a warrior and DK “omg we can’t do incorp or afflicted” jab.
Incorporeal though I alone can handle, with a timed interrupt and stun, nearly half of the life of a single one. It’s not a good option compared to literally every other CC, but I can at least help. Warrior has the same option here.
Afflicted is worse because the mobs are totally immune. The afflicted mobs should receive 100% additional healing as well as instantly recharge the dispel of healing-specced players when the dispel is used on them. Healers still got to pay the mana and GCD cost, but at least all healers can reliably handle afflicted on their own.
I was actually kinda LOL this week as I played my feral druid, with omen of clarity I could heal afflicted after doing a finisher, and easily deal with it, but my warrior can’t even use a bandage…

The point is that the affixes literally don’t matter in the key level you’re doing anyway, so it doesn’t really have any affect. I’m not trying to hate on you for not trying to push keys, it’s your playthrough not mine.
But in that level of key, the affix literally doesn’t matter, so it’s hard to make a valid point about handling them.

afflicted starts 7.
it does the same debuff at 7 as a 25
your argument is moot
I had keys in 11-15 where literally every one went off (afflicted) and we timed it anyway.
This is not possible 17+.
That’s the point.

Pretty sure no one is engineering comps for a +8.

I run higher than 10s and agree that it’s not good design to have some classes completely unable to interact with an affix. There are many ways to potentially address the issue and for most groups, they will have multiple options. But the fact that there are viable comps 8 out of every 10 weeks that rely solely on the healer during the other 2 is not a well designed affix.

Yea iv actually never seen them go off so im not really sure what happens to be honest
If you’re telling me you bring a party of a Warrior, a hunter, rogue, and a DK, you’re making this REALLY hard for your healer.
You need to get variety.
“You need to decline certain classes because of the week’s affix”
That’s literally what you just said.
On top of already covering the lust/bres roles.
This is the problem and shouldn’t be because of a new affix.
Right, but you did that off the backs off your team.
Warlock can’t do Afflicted either.
