its back. devour can be removed by healing AND dispels… many many many people have both other than the healer .
as a healer i will get most or all of these for you no problem.
i am happy to.
but
there will be very few moments in the game that you will need to do this. so lets make sure we are looking out for them.
there are fights that have you running all over and you put yourself out of range to me its in this moment that you need to manage it.
if there is a Janky over lap coming just get rid of it.
work with me here XD
because after me saying in /p “care of your range to me on this fight” and then to have people out of range for the affix and then blame me when the boss heals… ./facepalm.
just press it XD i love you for it.
this has been your public service announcemen / rant ty
ps. dont forget to spec into your dispel this week XD

I use MD when it’s up and always get my own for the healer. I don’t know why people make such a big deal out of doing mechanics if their kit is capable of doing it.

The amount of ret paladins who don’t know what their dispel does or that it even exists should be criminal.

Ive straight up seen DPS trash talk healers on the forums for even asking DPS to help with the affix. I don’t understahd why everyone thinks healers are the only people who are supposed to pay attention to it. Just crazy. Lol
I’m 2 keys in and already want to quit for the week. First one the shaman didn’t have his dispel and the second one the mage just didn’t use it. So many devours going off and healing everything. This week is going to be crap.
You’re a healer. Can power through it.
And there’s the attitude that makes this week utterly unbearable. How about we help our healers out with a dispel or two and make it a little less miserable for everybody? And I am not just a healer.

I’m gonna be honest, I’m over this affix after two keys. It can go well enough, but I just don’t find it fun. I don’t want to heal with this week.

Needing to heal doesn’t make the role miserable especially now, with so much gear.

I think the point is while these things do help and people should do them, not doing them resulting in “so many devours going off and healing everything” is partly on you not prepping hots / ramps.
When I’m doing my weeklies with an rdruid I barely notice the affix it feels like, their hots just erase it. Ofc I throw my own dispel into the mix but it often feels like a waste.

Remind your group that the faster the affix goes away, the more dps they do from the buff. Easy.

This isn’t actually true, you can remove 4 stacks then the 5th one at the last second to refresh it and effectively double the duration.

Yes, but if you dispel yourself immediately, you immediately gain a stack. Healer can delay the last.
Problem with this Affix as a Lock is you get the choice of the Dispel to help the healer, or Kick which helps the full group. If I take kick, I need healer help, if I take Dispel, the group needs to pick up the kick game.

Here’s something that most players here aren’t talking about or perhaps aren’t aware: many people don’t know about dispelling the affix.
My first two dungeons players were upset at me because dispel wasn’t being used. It was in my third dungeon (11 Stone Vault) that a prot paladin was asking everyone he invited to the dungeon that we make sure we use our dispels to make the run go easier because of this week’s affix. Once it was explained, I was like “D’oH! I didn’t know that”.
We then aced that bad boy with no wipes or anything; ran smooth.
Moral of the story: Take the time to be courteous and ask if everyone understand the situation they’re going into. Life becomes much simpler. I appreciate Druidzugging giving this PSA for all of us.
Well done, Druidzugging.

I can understand very low keys, but by +11 keys the onus of understanding mechanics and affixes are on the individual.
How? It’s not like there’s a manual on how to deal with certain mechanics. As stated, many players do NOT come on the forums and get answers. If people took a minute to explain WHY things are done, like the prot paladin I mentioned, running dungeons could be so much easier.
It doesn’t hurt to be courteous like my man Druidzugging.

An affixes that prioritizes healers having to heal makes you, as a healer, not want to heal?

What the heck is this? They both accomplish the same thing, making the dungeon easier.
