It keeps me on my toes, I like it.

I love it wish it popped more often personally. The dreadlords felt like a larger DPS buff than this one since it didn’t have a timer

whats wrong with it? im not exactly sure how it works i just run into someone with a different overhead icon than me and it seems to do the trick. lol

I think it’s just made worse by Quaking. It’s a meh affix to me.

Seems like a lazy non affix really. If you don’t want to play it, just clear it quick when it pops and go about your dungeon. If you’re pushing then learn a bit about it and pull accordingly. I’ve only tanked one ten so far, and it was nothing we worried about as a group, well figure it out when we start pushing for our 20s and better players than I have shown the best way to utilize.

its a fine affix if you know how to use it… the sad part is you got a bunch of simple jacks even here late in the season that would run away from the opposite charge and both eat a stun and dot damage…

It’s the worst seasonal affix they’ve made in years. I strongly look forward to 10.1, hoping this is a random big giant aberration.

I find it silly that it happens in enclosed spaces, like the Azure Vault. Did Rasz really just scream so loud we could hear her through 100’ of mountain and then zapped us all that mountain? Come on. Really?

Bleh.

As far as a gameplay it doesn’t seem that impactful either way.

I really liked the BFA mechanic that had the ghosts of everything you killed come charging at certain intervals. It was fun to explode the dps meters in ungodly AOE.

It always seems to be the hunters that are already 40 yards away… its like dude stop bam stunned

Now that they made tanks have the same mark everytime so we don’t have to have people killed by cleaves/aoe

Good affix, it’s never my fault it goes off

I just dislike the people that clear it off me instantly. What if I wanted my buff? And it’s always the healer cleansing it off me too. Very aggravating.

I feel like it’s not nearly as bad as people make it out to be. I’ve heard the whole “it’s hard to tell who to run to, it’s difficult to clear it!” and I’m just like you match blue to white…stand close to someone (not so close that other affixes wipe you) of the opposite color, wait a few seconds while enjoying your damage and then clear it.

No, I honestly found it the easiest affix to deal with. In most instances I just stand still and wait for someone else to just run over to me when they wanna clear it.

I have a Weakaura for it though, and it makes it extremely easy.

Even during beta thundering received an immeasurable amount of critics and I dare say most of us were hopping they will axe it and copy one of the older ones from BfA/SL (like reaping, it was long requested) instead. (or they could have even used the Infernal affix from legion timewalking since they anyway have deleted the event itself)

But blizzard being blizzard ofc could not confess their mistake and instead continued to suffer with it. You can see the end result. An affix which is horrible still but in their defense, a lot less horrible than it was during the majority of the beta.

I’d rather thundering over explosives or quaking any day of the week. Can be annoying when it procs at an unfortunate time, but overall, personally I find very easy, and hardly notice it half the time. We just wait till 5s left and tag the opposite. That said, no criticism or disrespect intended, as I can totally appreciate how the affixes difficultly/experience can vary by role/class/person/playstyles. Happy gaming!

Comical how many people need to be told to clear it this far into the season. Like if I’m tanking mobs that cleave (the drakes in HoV) I don’t want to chase you down to clear this BS. Run near me so I can go about my business. I can only heroic leap so many times…
