How many complaints do you seriously get about this stupid affix and you still think people enjoy it?? It almost doubles the length of a boss fight in certain encounters and completely makes it an unfun experience.
This has to be the WORST affix ever next to Legion Fel Orbs.
They should buff Fortified so the difficulty of both are balanced.
Congratulations: they buff Fortified and now Spires of Ascension becomes literally impossible extremely quickly.
Imagine that.
Fortified and Tyrannical should be removed. That or moved to the +10 position. They are not fun and really add nothing engaging to M+. Mob health and damage scale with keys already. Why add in an affix that just gives things more health and damage? They are my least favorite thing about M+. And until they nerfed loot drops they were the only thing I didnt like about M+
How about no.
Fortified is already the hardest affix due to the current state of tanks, and the amount of tank buster mobs in these dungeons.
Delete fort and tyran or make them both permanent. Either choice won’t matter, M+ already scales. Seasonal affixes are great.
Tyrannical just makes bosses 5 minute slog-fests and if you end up wiping it usually means the end of the key. Super unfun.
I would prefer that they remove the first three affixes and give the bosses cool new abilities at higher levels instead. I know it’s simple, but the weekly rotation of affixes is really annoying. I hope for a push week every week so whoever wants to try M+ can enjoy it to the fullest at any time in the season. I have liked the seasonal affixes I’ve seen, though, so I would be down for those staying in for keys 10+. (If they stay fun!)
Also I hate explosive and it’s way more annoying to deal with than volcanic or quaking. No matter what please remove explosive or let them be affected by AoE.
When Fortified/Tyrannical where the +10 affix (in legion), the jump from +9 to +10 was immense.
That’s why it was moved to +2 in BfA, to make it more linear in difficulty.
I would love to see this, instead of ridiculous affixes,p which no one likes, they make the bosses more interesting with new mechanics…
It’s an amazing idea. Honestly do you see Blizz putting in the effort…
How about they remove both affixes, but reduce the amount of time we get to clear it.
Maybe buff the damage/hp scaling of higher keys a bit, fortified/tyrannical have never been close to balance since Legion, one is always considerably harder than the other and it creates a situation where half of the time it makes it unfun to run keys.
The other affixes should be the main focus for m+, not a boring hp/damage buff to boss or adds.
This exactly happened to us last night. Probably 85+% down on the boss with over 2m to go in Spires, and we wiped (my fault, I got distracted and wasn’t in the bubble). That wrecked the key.
At least it was my key that got hit, but still.
have you tried gitting gud?
While I like the idea of tyrannical and fortified… I don’t like how tyrannical can just turn some keys into dead keys with certain bosses. Particularly those with enrages.
Oh boy, I can’t wait to body drag this week through 100 tyrannical mists to not get my weapon.
Tyrannical and explosive on second boss mists is fun…not.
Tyrannical is just a boring affix, and way too punishing.
Should be replaced with something more exciting.
Buffing fortifications ed or nerfing tyranical
Or
Getting rid of both
All had same affect. It will make keys balanced each week.
Having Fortified and Tyr as the first affixes was the best solution as people have a chance to acclamate to the affix as they increase their keys. Previously, when it was the 3rd affix… you had this, at times, quadratic jump in dungeon difficulty because of that affix happening on the 10th key level. The health scaling is more linear when it is the first. Not to mention, this is first season… it is always more difficult. We are barely a month into the season. Relax and L2P.
And having rotating weeks where the mobs are problematic vs the bosses being problematic was probably meant to shake up how you optimize groups. That hasn’t materialized, but I am guessing that was the intent.
They shouldn’t have even went with Tyrannical/Fortified as a base since BFA.
Three max.
