I am playing as Ret and always try to help with the affix’s. Last week swapped to repentance, this week helping with cleanse toxins. The only grip I have with them is not being able to /tar them. I’m already running around trying to get off my rotation and dodge multiple mechanics from mobs and interrupt threat casts, it would be nice if I can make a /tar macro to spam when one spawns to take one out instead of having to stop what I’m doing to click on one then hit my cleanse.

Plater cannot change friendly nameplates (Afflicted Souls are friendly mobs).
There’s no addon that can alter friendly nameplates in instances since they removed that functionality in Legion. Maybe you are confused with Incorporeal Mobs?
I had to keep reminding them. Should not even be a thing. smh
I wouldn’t mind so much if only one spawned. Two is too much for me, and sometimes it happened in critical moments where healing was important. Triage only works so much, sometimes people have to die/dispel doesn’t happen/etc.
Also, both of them were TERRIBLE. Haven’t really seen a lot of shams this xpac and maybe that’s why.

Thank you for your service, sir. 
I refused to search for just another weak aura telling me s***. This affix gets more hate than thundering and incorporeal was already nerfed.
Afflicted will follow.

People use nameplates? News to me.
No, I can clearly see Afflicted mobs names and cast bars. Easily clickable. Idk.
I haven’t played in weeks and have done no m+ since the new season started, but all I see is how unfun and annoying it is. That’s kind of a problem since that’s all there is to do in the game. You think Bliz would make it fun and exciting not annoying and frustrating.
If you actually read the thread this was already addressed. You had to repeat it because…?
My mistake, the other replies didn’t load for me and I didn’t see that someone else had already pointed it out.
Target them is not the real real problem their some classes can’t do anything, like warlock, hunter, DK they just suck to the afix

I could go on a rant about affix designs. Story for another time.
Yeah, that is one point but there are 5 people in a group. Any bloodlust DPS can help with the affix except hunter.
Any hybrid DPS can solo the affix.
Warlock brings a brez and gate. DK brings brez and melee utilities and can heal the affix with death coil. Hunter brings tranq shot for raging.
Anyone who is roadblocked by one of the new affixes wouldn’t survive a 20 with zero affixes, DPS that ignore affixes are not good DPS. Party leads that give absolutely no consideration to who they invite are not good party leads, that is it.
I haven’t had any issues using the plater addon. Might be worth while to check that out if you haven’t already.
Oh. Yeah. Warrior/Warrior/DH in the group and still time 20s because bringing two classes that can trivialize the mechanic themselves even with three classes who can’t do a darn thing about it. It’s… Almost like I know how things work. @_@

The Blizzard nameplates animation has been broken since legion prepatch, which is also around the time I started having very bad motion sickness issues with this game as a long time player.
Before that, I could target anything in a giant group of mobs and play for hours straight without sickness. It’s actually crazy how their old nameplates animation, spacing, sizing and movement is 100x better than the current. Something about the modern nameplates booping around constantly even if the mobs are standing still, as if they’re hooked to my camera, rather than the mob, makes me physically sick. I also have horrible eyesight so it’s just all around bad.
It’s really sad other players hear people who have actual issues that should be easily remedied complain and just say “get a better ui” or “it must just be you”… when in my experience the nameplate addons don’t even make them move any less crazy.
It’s pretty simple, not being able to see/target the affix due to in game ui problems shouldn’t be what’s difficult about the mechanic, and that’s literally all that’s difficult with this one. I had no issues with Incorporeal because the mob was actually visible to a person with bad eyesight, and because it was an enemy I feel it was much easier to target… even if it’s nameplate was hidden or moving too much you could still tab to it quickly. I have friendly nameplates turned on, but that makes everything animate even worse because there are more nameplates on the screen. I don’t want to shut off enemies just to be able to focus on seeing the Souls. Idk, I feel as if the “challenge” of this is just not fun because it’s only challenging because I can’t get the thing targeted and am trying all sorts of addons and UI settings to make my nameplates act right.
Okay? Meanwhile Warlocks can solo-counter the entire Incorp affix last week with Banish and Fear. It’s okay that you can’t solo-counter it this week.
Hunters still bring Lust and Soothe, especially for this week with Raging. Raging being significantly more impactful than Afflicted.
It’s not efficient, but they can Coil heal the Afflicted if needed.
Lmao, bringing home the bacon. He has nothing else to say now.
I don’t know how to tell you this, but you’re doing wrong. Granted, I deal with it myself in much the same manner. But I had to come to the forums to make sure I’m doing it in the most optimal way.
- TO THE FORUMS!!
- complain about how the new affixes which are non-issues are too hard
- put down everyone else that disagrees with you
- claim class segregation
- more QQ about not being able to deal with affixes although you’ve got the tools
- watch the world burn
That’s the rotation required to deal with the new affixes i’ve learned. Pretty sure a blue is gonna sticky the rotation and post it at the top of the forums here before too long

I did a 9 and 10 last night, i had maybe 2 spawn inside the group i pulled and i easily detoxed it and dealt with it . I used a simple /target /cast detox macro . My only complaint is they take a few seconds to spawn and i anticipate sometimes but thats a me issue . I also use the standard ui so i dont get the hate
