I would not be surprised if they updated the way they appear by the next time it’s back in M+. The addons are great solutions right now, but they’re gonna want to make sure it’s easily viewable on their base UI.
I’m not having trouble targeting them, but then again, I’m also not trying to target them tbh. Try a mouseover macro, those seem to work pretty easily
/use [@mouseover] Purify Spirit
This should work even in big packs pretty effectively

For those of yall pretending like the affix is easy to target, you are out of your mind! You should really try running some higher keys, when I double or triple pull a pack and an afflicted spawns 40 yrds back, inside a mob, or in walls sometimes then it is just an unnecessary annoyance. I’m almost 2.8k io and this is by far the most annoying affix so far this season. You have some classes (ie warriors and DKS) that I won’t even consider to bring to keys this week, at least last week they could interrupt or ST stun the incorporeal.
No one takes these forums serious because people up in here are talking mad game about something they clearly have no experience in.

In a previous post you said “I guess you haven’t done nelth yet.” So he gave you his IO which is 2200 this would have the assumption he has in fact done neltharus

This sounds like a skill issue to me. Try searching for a weak aura to highlight the friendly afflicted nameplate.
Please find me a weak aura to “highlight the friendly afflicted nameplate” or better yet, find me a nameplate for afflicted.
Took me 10 seconds. Don’t be lazy next time.
I haven’t done a key this week, but do they not have the same nameplate as incorporeal? I use plater/jundies profile and it color codes all mobs including affixes. The incorporeal were giant yellow nameplates when all the others are diff colors.
Good job, you found a broken weak aura, try using it and then come back edit: The weak aura you posted was an attempted export of the incorporeal affix onto afflicted, but it doesn’t work as afflicted don’t have nameplates. You can even see in the comments that the weak aura “doesn’t work”**
There is no nameplate for afflicted, that is part of the issue
Mouseover macro ftw ftw

I use the basic UI, always have, and have no issues.
Better UI is considered constructive criticism
I’m not going to do your job for you. I just did a quick search. Looks like you’re just going to have to “git gud” then 
I have to dispel things with a 25 yard range and I’ve had no issue hovering across a battle field to interrupt a 10 second cast with a mouseover cast with an ability that will not even go on CD unless it successfully dispels something. I think the only time I outright had to try and target it was when two spawned inside eachother under the 2nd boss of VP.
Between all the new affixes? The only things I’ve seen cause problems are people still learning the dungeon mechanics, the affixes are the easiest part. And before ya go, “You haven’t done 20s yet this season” I’ll simply say, “Soon I will and this is the easiest Fortified week to push.”

Aight, I’ve been running back to back 15’s, 16’s, etc this morning.
Not once have I encountered a group that does not have someone else dispelling. With at least two in the group to dispell, plus mouseover macros, this affix is a non issue, tbh.
idk … Just what I have seen this morning, running 4 mythics or whatever it was. And if anyone wants to get all huffy about it, check my io page.
I have been playing for 18ish years and never really used macros and never knew the scripts for them and such so thankyou!

What do you mean “You haven’t done 20s yet this season” I’ve timed every dungeon at 21 this season save for ULD where my highest is a 20 timed.
I really despise how everyone in here thinks that they are pro’s with their 2k io. The only viable feedback in this whole thread has been the suggestion of a mouseover macro. People up in here saying you “Need to fix your UI” when that won’t do anything to help.
The problem is, it spawns inside of things, it has to high of a spawn rate, it can spawn too far away, and sometimes the timing of the spawn will kill you. If a healer or a tank have to use a GCD to deal with an afflicted it can lead to someone dying or a wipe. Failing a key due to bad RNG never feels good. Not to mention when you are in a pug and the only one cleansing them your completely screwed cause as a prot pally I can only get one.

Get a better Plater UI. They are so easy to target. Your current IO/Score doesn’t make them spawn any differently, more frequently, or otherwise.
The area they are going to spawn glows for several seconds beforehand to even give you time to prepare. You then have an extremely generous amount of time to target them. It’s not like their cast is 2 seconds.

Reading comprehension. I was predicting you were going to use it as a rebuttal, which, you sortof did.
I’ve pugged a few dungeons today and none of them had only one person dispelling. None, and that’s only using 2.4~2.6k rated players. We even had an add spawn that no one noticed get its cast off and… What happened? We barely even noticed except, “Oh, our casts are a little slower. Oh well. ANYWAYS.” And that was in a 19.
I use default UI and have no problems dispelling them, I don’t even use macros for mouseovers and have no problems dispelling them. Tanks and healers dying because of one GCD? Sounds like a skill issue because you have ten whole seconds to use one GCD, if you are hard-pressed for GCDs that entire time, something else went horribly wrong in that pull.
I’m not even a super-serious M+ player and even I know timing 20s doesn’t make someone a pro because even I did it. You’ve just been over-exaggerating the impact of this incredibly neglible affix.

You say I’m overexaggerating, but thankfully Blizzard doesn’t listen to the forums and this affix will get hotfixed in the next couple of days reducing the spawn rate. Everything in M+ is exponential, the difference between a 17 key and a 22 is insane. There are plenty of packs that will global people this week, try pulling the double calif pack on a high VP and tell me it’s a “skill issue.” Just using that blanket term when you can’t come up with any real criticism is banal. Ya’ll keep throwin shade at average players just telling them they are trash and they need to git gud, when the affix will be significantly better with some minor adjustments (ie easier to see, less frequency, proximity to mobs). No one takes these forums seriously when people like you come and belittle everyone who tries to give genuine feedback or ask an honest question.
Well a Macro worked for me when I was trying to target those Treasure Goblins. /tar treasure goblin on a macro works great.
