I conceded that every tank is running and timing them at 25+. Less keys overall are being timed this week, as well as lower levels of keys compared to last week. I think my point still stands.
308 timed 27s by BDK last week vs 155 timed 26s by BDK this week.
Thanks for posting that!
Yeah it is interesting to see the mental gymnastics people are doing to say necrotic is fine.
I mean, thats what i was sort of implying. They can make affixes that are fun and challenging.
Im a firm believer that stuff in this game shouldnt fundamentally negatively affect how you play your class, such as taking abilities away. Example being content where they force you to drive a vehicle. I dont want to drive a vehicle with 2 buttons to go smash mobs, i want to use my abilities to go smash mobs. Kyrian covenant fight club vehicle-palooza is another one, not interested blizz.
While we are at it, can we make quaking only popping during combat. Show of hands who has been 9 seconds into a 10 second rez cast when they had to cancel it because of quaking?
How come he stopped posting on the forums lately . Did GD scare him away ? 
only 99% of the rezzes i cast
Generally, I like to roll with the punches on affixes. Whatever it is, I’ll still try to do it, because running keys is super fun. Or it was until this week.
As a BDK, this week suuuuuucks. You know how viruses have little keys that let them into certain types of cells if it fits just right? This is like that. The necrotic affix is basically designed to nuke BDKs.
And you need trees. Or EE. Something to pull the lieutenant off of you while you kite the mobs that you can actually slow. And that’s all you do this week. Step into melee range for more than 2 or 3 seconds, and you’re a dead man walking.

Not every affix needs to be friendly to every spec.

THIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS 
no i dint think of bdk it probly is bad ! is probly alot hard , i say on u probly time do a warior . o wall
Okay. So, you’re not wrong, but necrotic just…turns off BDK active mitigation. And for some reason, they took away the tools BDK had to deal with it. On top of it all, most other tanks run Kyrian for m+, so they all have yet another tool that most DKs don’t have. All they need to do is make it a magic effect again so they can protect against stacks with AMS.
The equivalent would be like making an affix that prevents tanks from blocking. Some don’t care, but it inordinately affects warriors and paladins.

Necrotic sucks.
More so on Blood DK than any other tank.
It should either not affect the DK’s personal healing or affect it to a lesser degree, since that’s the main form of mitigation.
I just warned my m+ team I’d only dps anything over a 15. This isn’t a friendly week for tanks.

TBH, I don’t really understand that pull at all. That’s basically the 2nd worst pull in the dungeon, it is a fortified week, and you’re making it worse by adding more stuff. And then making a misplay and getting mad at the game.
Obviously this week is very tough for the tank, but I don’t feel like anything special was going on there except for the tank getting overconfident, making a misplay, and then getting salty about it.
I feel like there are far better examples of why this combo of affixes sucks, like the DOS Jar pull.
I have pally, war, BDK and DH all tanks … no fun doing m+ with any of them, this affix needs to be removed!
Bottom line, AMS needs to block stacks of necrotic like it used to. BDKs entire kit is shut down by necrotic, so it makes sense they’d have a way to counter it.
I’d rather lose the affix entirely, though.

Affixes shouldn’t be friendly in general, they are there to add challenge. But they shouldn’t be overly hostile to any particular spec or they become “nobody wants your spec this week”.
Kiting is problematic to start with, because tanks vary so widely in mobility tools, but when the kiting-promoting affix ALSO hits BDK right in the mitigation…
Hello!
Although necrotic is an affix that is definitely doable with a decent group, I feel that it is a bit too unforgiving compared to the rest of the affixes.
I’ve always wanted the necrotic affix to behave like a death knight’s pvp talent Necrotic Strike. Rather than having a stacking debuff that reduces healing, have it create healing absorbtion instead that grows larger the more you get hit.
This way the healer and the tank can heal through the absorbtion if they so choose to or the tank can continue to kite the mobs. I’m sure blood death knights wouldn’t mind just healing more to get past the healing absorb…
