I actually never had anyone said that to me tbh. And I missed alot of afflicted this week on my healer
and I generally pug on it. But tbh if I hear that then they’ll find themselves needing a new healer and a broken key
Its easier for us experienced healers at lower levels to manage 2 because we are used to dealing with them on higher keys but imagine how it must feel for a healer who is new to the role or a new player, f that id be out for sure, no wonder people don’t bother on afflicted weeks, healer gets blamed for everything anyway, might as well get blamed for our dispel having a CD too

Meh it’s just stupid and dumb dps at that level. There’s a reason why healer and tanks who’s worth their salt can easily climb up the ranks. Because they have learn to heal/tank stupids which makes it easier at the higher levels
Well you are lucky then! I get complained at all the time so now i just think meh ill do it anyway and not say anything cant be bothered to have a debate about who should be dispelling, i can now manage them on higher keys too, dispel one and use power word life on the other but i shouldn’t have to!
Yea its this crap affix and few others that are brought up by my raid healers. They want nothing to do with M+ because of stuff like Afflicted.
They dont mind doing mechanics, healing and throwing out DPS. But the affixes like Afflicted just stress them out because they are already trying to learn to play the dungeon. Now they got to learn to play the Affix!!!
People want to play Mythic DUNGEONS not play Mythic AFFIXES… Honestly, affixes where added back when we had the SAME 8 or more dungeons the entire expansion. Now that we get a new mix of them each season, there is no need for the affixes.
Tbh it’s not that bad to do at lower level. You’ll find you have plenty of time doing them since there’s hardly any dmg happening. And if we look at the OP’s main. It’s a shammy they’re built well to deal w/ it this week. Every 2nd afflicted she has poison totem to deal w/ them
What they should do is what ever player takes care of the Afflicted Affix, they should get a haste buff. Then if someone doesnt help them, they dont loose haste. Would see so many players trying their best to get that affix.
I honestly would have preferred they kept the old affixes and didn’t replace them with afflicted, its a terrible affix that is so uninspiring to the point of borderline trolling.
Exactly for experienced healers its not hard to deal with (just annoying) but for a noobie to the role i couldn’t think of anything worse!
Totally they want to partake in the content but don’t want to be inconvenienced.
Legion had it best mythic plus wise no affix at all i don’t know why they didn’t remove all the affix, go back to Legion format with a seasonal affix that was a little harder as seasonal affix affected all people in the group
I can be down w/ that. I always like kiss/curse affix. Problem is we will see people who can’t deal w/ them complain here because they think they’re being “excluded”
No thanks. I like to never have to deal w/ quaking, explosive or necrotic ever again
As an experienced healer that heals 20+ keys its not hard you are right but for a new healer its must be horrible then you get abused for not doing it correctly.
Completely agree.
I wouldn’t mind a seasonal affix. If it is a kiss/cuse one, even better. I liked those affixes.
While its not as big of a deal on my shaman. Poison Totem and a MO dispell. Its the fact I am trying to heal players and every 30 seconds its this annoying thing that pops up that I must do. I dont want to play pop goes the affix, I want to play the dungeon. Keep my eyes on the trash mobs or boss. Not playing freaking where is Waldo with the affix.
Luckly, I have poison totem for every other 2 pack. Not so much on Disc. Its always play where is Waldo. But its made worse on my Disc Priest as I only got one Heal that will actually heal the Affix to full health and it has a CD on it. Which makes me forced to choose between heal a player who is about to die or heal the stupid never ending affix. If it was on a 2 min timer, I wouldnt complain. But every 30 seconds, the devs need cussed out for this.
Tbh what you’re experiencing isn’t a problem w/ affix but on player you find yourself group up w/.
Yes I said this from the start. Its only a real issue in pugs. In guild groups its no more of a concern then rotating kicks on mobs.
The Affix cannot be fixed. It should be deleted.
I will refuse to play any dungeons as healer on this weeks.
It has no nameplates, it cannot be targeted spawning inside big packs or within the bosses, it conflicts with priority dispells and AOE damage events in dungeons, and you need to spin your camera 360 degrees while dogeing mechanics
Not going to lie. I died TWICE this week due to having to find the affix and got hit in the back with a mechanic. ON LOW KEYS… So humiliating…
Yeah its great on my sham using totem really helps i think the affix is made worse because its hard to target, if you could use a target macro it would be much easier which i guess is why you cannot lol
I cant imagine what its like in a plus 20 key dealing with everything and that on top of it ![]()
I would like that a huge amount when mythic plus first released i loved it. Imo at this point they could remove all the silly affixes and just have a really in depth seasonal one to make up for it, I loved the pack of mobs that would spawn in SL they could do that but make them harder mobs or where one needs to be cc’d most classes can cc, would make it so much more enjoyable.
I understand that they add affixes to make it difficult but i would argue that the affixes themselves are not actually difficult they are just irritating more than anything and it ruins the experience for me also causes some classes to be picked over other classes which then makes some classes a disadvantage.
Well most are kinda like there are nice rich people out there
20s is where the op plays.
