M+ runners, which would you prefer?

Healing sucks. It’s why I don’t do it anymore. It use to just be in Mythic+. Now even the raid sucks to heal. Never seen so much NPC healing and gameplay dependent dispels in a raid before.

Then don’t heal? lol. It’d be like people trying to remove tanking because they don’t tank.

(Please remove the need for tanks so these people don’t die in 1 second for pressing something wrong and getting the entire group killed.)

Whoa. I said I liked affixes. Only specific ones they should get rid of. I was just commenting on the healing comment.

Idk about you other nerds, but rezans bleed friggen trucks me as a tank.

But yeah there’s not really much going on for the non tanks. I think they get bored and start standing in purple just to liven things up.

I don’t really mind the idea of affixes but there are definitely some that make me hate my job more than others.

As a healer, the tank is usually the only one I have to do anything with on Rezan. Both my current M+ toons are night elves and I usually run with a nelf DH, too. Between the two of us, we can negate Rezan’s first two pursuits, no matter who he targets (fun fact for anyone who may not know - if Rezan targets your gnome/dwarf/human/whatever buddy, a night elf can shadowmeld and it will break Rezan’s pursuit, even if he’s not pursuing the nelf).

I’ve chosen my aesthetic dreams of being a fat drunk over my healers quality of life by picking dwarf for them

That brush-it-off healing is trying its best!

The bleed is the only thing forcing me to cast a heal spell the entire fight.

Oh yeah, hope you don’t mind if I just LoS you for a quick second during fear and bleed out because I have no forethought

Holydin, but I do melee, so…

Healer positioning problem.

I don’t make it easy for them. I’m a dps main moonlighting as a tank this season so my sense of cooperation is not quite there.

I make sure I top them and have enveloping mist on the tank when the fear is coming out unless I’m able to LoS the boss in the same spot as the tank.

Hey I’ve got a question for you as a healer.

Things like totem boss disease and tott gauntlet disease where it’s going out on everyone; my thought is usually to Cleanse the healer or a dps with less defensive options (hunter, mage) and just leave em on myself because the extra tank dmg is usually nothing.

Thoughts? Tips?

I’m not the highest rank healer in the world so others may have a better strat.

I typically dispel myself unless someone else is really low and in danger of dying. I feel if I’m alive I can take care of the rest. If I know I’ll be preemptively using a defensive I may dispel someone else.

For the totem boss in AD though sometimes I don’t even dispel and just do aoe heals to the whole group. Dispelling to clear one person (usually myself) vs just continuing aoe healing is a wash.

For the ToT gauntlet I’m cooldown rotating aoe heals the whole time during swell because most dps can’t help themselves from blowing all the little adds up. I save revival (mass dispel) for a really bad high stack as well. It’s a risk on using a global on a single dispel vs an aoe heal, but if I do I’ll normally dispel myself.

I never dispel the tank because like you said they sustain themselves. This is important on the trash after the first boss of Fall where a nasty debuff goes always ok the tank and 1 other person. Always want to dispel the non-tank because the tank can take care of themselves.

Edit - just realized you may have meant who you should dispel as the tank, in which I’d say normally the healer for sure. Let him handle the party.

Yeah I figure if I Cleanse healer then he doesn’t have to worry about himself as much. Thanks for insight

As a concept I like them a lot. They can really change the way you approach a dungeon and that keeps the game fresh and fun.

However some affix combinations can be pretty brutal.

This season so far has been the best so far. As they continue to refine the m+ concept it keeps getting better.

My hpal is a dwarf and I would totally consider a dwarf druid if it was an option. Great racial!

Bolstering doesn’t increase HP anymore and the damage increase it does deal is on the mob for a very short amount of time (if you manage it correctly) and it doesn’t even affect bosses.

It’s a nothing affix. I would deal with it literally every week instead of fortified or tyrannical.

I want permanent Fort+Bolstering and I want it to go slow-mo everytime someone gets domed with a bolstered Shoot.

I’d prefer if they turned affixes into positive buffs/mechanics and scaled the dungeons harder to compensate.
