Necrotic tho is a tank mechanic and u can blame ur tank all week and get away with it

62

Maybe it’s time for positive affixes? Fated power esque. Crank up power a ton.

63

We like the positive stuff for affixes. This whole xpac has been amazing for positive affixes. URH was one of the best things this game has ever seen. It made some classes literally viable because of URH ALONE.

do u see frost mages and havoc dhs right now? they’re sad. but they were happy during URH.

but the meta shifts from time to time. When someone’s favored, someone else is not.

Shrouded is pretty cool, love being able to get more haste the more demons the group hunts down.

66

I mean, sure it is, just take the bus or walk/bike.

plenty of people do it.

a warrior without stormbolt will hate it but a rogue or something with a decent stun will be fine

Can they atleast make some new ones and shelve the old ones for an expansion?? We’ve had the same **** for years now.

I’m all for necrotic, explosive, and bolstering being completely removed though. Don’t even have to replace them with anything. Wouldn’t upset me :person_shrugging:t6:

Tanks don’t need to “kite” around even during necrotic. They nerfed Necrotic significantly since the start of the expansion. All you need is teamplay like aoe stuns to drop stacks.

necrotic isn’t even the deadly affix this week. :100:

Dear OP:

  1. Chi Torpedo out.
  2. Keep running a couple more seconds with the speed boost it gives you.
  3. Necrotic stacks drop off before they can even reach you to refresh.

You don’t even have to use Leg Sweep or Ring of Peace or whatever, at this point. Necrotic has been nerfed SO MUCH that you can drop stacks just with Chi Torpedo.

That’s not “kiting”. That’s scoot, drop, then wade back in.

I don’t main monk and I don’t play brew master

Every tank has a way to scoot out in a jiffy to drop stacks, or slow/impair the mobs so you can get away.

They’ve repeatedly nerfed Necrotic, it’s super easy to drop now.

“I think I’ll walk to the store this week.” Horrors!

People actually do decide not to drive while gas prices are high.

On gambit when the Murlocs scatter at low up, suddenly you’ve got 10 explosives out inside the water.

ptsd material.

Guardian druids as well, from S tier to solid B/C when the season affix changed from UHR.

78

When you have DPS that do 20k overall a piece, any 15 key becomes a joke. Doesn’t matter the affix aside from maybe bursting

79

No we want more affixes like Encrypted that are kiss/curse. If Explosives gave a haste buff or %damag/healing increase when you killed them, or if stacking quaking did damage to mobs and to friendlies, or if necrotic just buffed tank damage per stack, etc etc etc.

Add some dynamic gameplay. Make us WANT to interact with the affixes. As it stands there are certain weeks that force you to either just do lower keys than usual or just completely gate melee classes out or other unintended side effects.

Affixes in general disproportionately affect melee who already have to deal with a myriad of trash mechanics that range don’t ever interact with like frontals, traps (which are hidden under 20 mobs), and threat (if you’re a warrior).

Kiting in M+ hasn’t been a thing since S1, and it died pretty quickly even then.
