Either double the internal cooldown or only apply it to half the group (100% random targets).
As it stands, wildly too annoying and quite frankly not worth dealing with.

What? You donât enjoy having to do stack mechanics at the same time as quaking and blowing up your group?
It also shouldnât proc out of combat.

Quaking is one of the easiest affixes out there
Only things easier are like⌠volcanic.
I have always thought quaking was a âlazy manâs affixâ but yes, there are far too many stacking mechanics in this game for quaking to remain current. It needs to be retired.
Agreed, the SECOND combat is over, even the current quaking should not finish itâs proc.
Itâs not hard, itâs just annoying as hecc.
Nothing wrong with it being annoying.
Only thing I really agree with in the thread is it not procing out of combat, that seems silly.
Disagree, annoying = poorly designed. Put crap in the game that challenges you, not makes you stop a 4s cast every 17s because youâre too lazy to design worthwhile content.
Correct, it is super easy
Until youâre forced to stack and it goes off and well now itâs a wipe
Who has 4s casts?
And itâs about planning, thatâs what makes it a good affix imo. You have to plan around it not just react to it like explosive, etc.
And theyâre fixing the major forced ones (like last boss of NO and the worm boss in shadowmoon)

And then it happens anyway cuz this is blizzard
never had it happen during NO pulls at all last night
Had it happen to a guildy earlier, thatâs why I donât trust blizzards âquaking fixesâ
Fire mages, I would agree if it was not every 17s. 17s is just toxic.
Youâre pugging a +20 HoV. Youâre on Hyrja and the storm is coming up. Everyone runs to the bubble but just before you get there you get the quaking debuff. What do you do?

Itâs not every 17s
Itâs not even random.
You can track when it might pop and plan around it.
Thereâs enough room in the bubble to spread out 5 quakings
And how do you communicate this to your pug? Who moves where?
How do you communicate kicks or stuns? Defensives? Where to path? When to pull large?
Are we really advocating that this game be designed around zero communication between groups?

Couldnât have said it better.
Though we donât even communicate this kind of thing in a non-pug group, there really isnât time, you just⌠spread.
Spreading like that has been a thing in wow for years.
âKick starâ. Addons.
Itâs an unspoken rule that people use defensives whenever they can on mob packs, and for bosses itâs always healers CDs first and then personals.
âWe donât need this mobâ. Rarely ever an issue because everyone does the same route.
âI have CDs you can pull bigâ.
Do you not see the difference between communicating something mid mechanic vs. your examples? You donât have much experience doing high keys, do you?
