The affix Exploding orbs needs to go. The keys in dragonflight are very tight and if you want to time need to pull 2-3 packs at a time. with exploding orbs that gets chaotic, because the casuals can’t keep up. you end up bricking keys. Exploding orbs does nothing other than make a toxic environment to Mythic Plus. Get rid of exploding orbs or nerf the way they spawn to 1 per pack not every enemy.

remove “affix exploding orbs” part from your post and you got the right of it.

Explosive was nerfed in BFA. If you can’t do it now gotta l2p.
They will go, next reset.

The ideal situation is to rotate a person that’s on cooldown for orbs. Example, if my cooldowns are down I can sit orbs. The only drawback to this is also managing interrupts, but these big pulls aren’t realistically something that you coordinate well in PUGs.
Though not supported by a lot of the dungeons, you can LOS the orbs if the opportunity presents itself.

I see the word “toxic” is the new replacemant for “personal shortcomings”.

I agree, because of casuals, keys end up getting bricked.
The word ‘casual’ has lost all meaning on this forum.
People use it now to say ‘your skill level is lower than mine’ when in reality, actual ‘casuals’ aren’t even trying to do keys. At all.

When I’m on my healer my groups have one less affix. If only most healers knew this.

Target it, any instant cast. How hard is it?

It’s fine.
Sure. It’s the “casuals” at fault.
Basically. I’d say I’m closer to hardcore than most casuals, and I’m not even running keys this week. And when I do, I dont feel like getting all sweaty in anything above 9
I’ve seen two keys bricked. Neither was on me. But muh casuals!
Well truthfully none of the affixes are fun. It’s possible to be fun and challenging at the same time, but judging by the number of these threads they only manage to be annoying.
Good luck. Learn2play issue.
Also, dont ever do 3 range dps’ers on Explosives week. Tab Targetting is awful. I saw a Hunter accidentally pulled extra group becoz of tab targetting.
Honestly, I wouldn’t mind all affixes going away. They is always a pain point.
You can still pull 2-3 packs at a time. The tank and healer should be getting 90% of the orbs.
Except in NO (and maybe the 3 pack first pull in HOV), the trash packs at 15-17+ are pretty easy to handle on Tyrannical… I actually get mad when people kill my orbs as a healer. 
It’s a free affix basically because it takes only one person 99% of the time to handle it, and otherwise has no effect on the group.
Is it me or did they change the rate at which the explosives appears compared to Shadowland M+ Season 3? ( I didnt play season 4 so dont know if they did change it for that one moving forward)
