Remove these mythic+ affixes in Shadowlands

You are clearly don’t know how the affix works.

I target an orb, moonfire it and… it doesn’t die. unless I have a procced moonfire, I have to spam it several times for that to be enough to kill it.

to kill it, I have to reserve mangle for it, at which point, I overkill it by a stupid amount and waste that damage that could have otherwise gone into the mob I’m fighting… assuming mangle isn’t on CD.

I would agree with you if it was as simple as target->moonfire->dead but it is not.

Maybe if I’m only doing trivial +5s, it would die, but in +20s? one attack is not enough to kill it. Probably not in +15s either.

Teeming is awful because it screws with counts.

But its not quite that simple.

Its such a horrible affix that greatly favors melee, and even then…its still horrible.

Now throw in a cast time, and how 1 lightning bolt is not guaranteed to kill the orb in 1 shot…

As an elemental shaman, for me to go after explosive orbs hurts my DPS so much that the best course of action is for me to completely ignore them and let others do more of the orb work.

Its stupid.

this is how blizzard likes to design these affixes though. not every class and spec efficiently deals with every affix, that’s part of it being a group activity where you get to choose your own group.

some things suck more than others but I think thats the general idea around it…

you don’t bring disc priests during bursting week, you dont stack dot classes and casters during explosive week, and you try to bring hunter/rogue/damage based tanks during skittish week.

that said they definitely need to either design classes better or take a look at redesigning some of those affixes for sure to be more doable for more classes.

Then… Use a stronger spell

If my divine favor procs and I see it, I use Templars verdict to get rid of it

Then I continue on the target I was attacking

27

What week do you stack casters?

28

I don’t bring disc priests at all :wink:

you literally never stack casters.

/sigh

29

This isn’t how it works for other classes.

30

fair enough, I would probaly not prioritize discs for pugs either :slight_smile:

rarely ends well.

31

Sorry, have a melee person in your run like an outlaw rogue where his between the eyes can hit it hard then

32

This seems like a bad time to me.

I wonder if Disc will get a rework in SL?

33

Yep let’s just wait for the rogue to kill all 7 of these explosives with his combo point spender. I’m sure that will go well.

man, I gotta say…

I might disagree with you, and think it’s a bit ridiculous you’re trying to school me on m+, but…

your xmog + name combo is fantastic.

35

it was an example :slight_smile: surely you get the essence of what im saying rather than taking it literally?

36

I’m more concerned about quaking. In these times of social distancing, I want to at least cuddle ingame.

37

Well since this week is bolstering, you shouldn’t be mass pulling them all at once…

Why not? Just kill at the same time.

39

you kinda have to spend as less time on trash as possible with long, tyrannical bossfights. This week is fun because the affixes tell you to pull small, but the timer tells you to pull big :stuck_out_tongue:

40

Tyrannical & Explosive, actually, thanks.

41

You just gave an excuse on why multiple explosives show up, I suggest pull less and now you’re like “but why” :thinking:
