As title says it needs to change for the fact that not every single class can deal with it.
I honestly do not even play m+ when it on, because of the fact i have 0 ways of dealing with it.
The same could be applied to incorporeal as some classes can’t cc for more than roughly 8 seconds.
If this is not chnaged in The War Within, i might actually consider not playing it at all, and switching to classic fully as its way less frustrating and the only bad part you need to deal with is the playerbase toxicity, unlike retail where you need to deal with playerbase and unfair game design.
And for all of you players who do 10-15s, im talking from a pug and semi-casual pov.
IMO : Yes you are right. And if blizz really, really, really wants to keep it what it should do is add an item that allows any player to dispel both afflicted and incorporeal.
And on top, some classes can in addition use their CC/dispel as well.
However. If they dont do this, I think its not that big of a deal to be honest. Especially in the 10-15 range where people are ~ skilled enough to deal with it.
IMO, when it comes to getting invites what affects the most in that range is the perception of “meta” power.
As for toxicity its not really that big of a deal. Grow a pair.
You say that when you play as a shaman. I do my best to try and put a lite load on the healer and tank as i can, but as it comes to weeks with afflicted i literally cant do anything and it ruins my week.
You telling me to grow a pair doesnt even make sense as i play classic also, and there is also alot of toxicity there.
My post was mainly about the fact there needs to be changes to affixes as im too fed up dealing with awful gameplay design while also dealing with the wow community.
WoW comunity is fine. There has been a ton of posts about it.
But TLDR : If you are sistematicaly finding toxic people you have to find a common denominator (you). Because everyone else does not find toxic people all the time. In fact, most of PuGs are actually really friendly.
I agreed with you that its unfair that you cant do anything about it. Well, technically you can banish some incorporeal mobs? Or am I wrong?
I have a bad memory. But I remember warlocks being able to solo Incorporeal with Fear + Banish.
Either way. You are right. Its not fair for half the classes not to be able to deal with the affix.
A quick fix would be to make an item that does it. But who am I right ?
So? You think that as a healer I want to deal with the affixes?
The only reason I somewhat tolerate afflicted is because I can use Poison Cleansing Totem. But using my dispel for that has caused the death of more than 1 person.
And its frustrating.
And incorporeal is a pain. Because Frog is a casted spell. So 2s watching people die… Not fun. Unlike other classes that have an instant cast spell to CC the mob.
You could make an item to do that, but that would solve it for that expansion. The easier and better option is to make so everyone has a way to dispell some sort of effect off a friendly target and then make the afflicted have a “Everything” debuff.
When it come to incorperal. yes some classes can deal with it solo but some cant deal with it at all.
All i want is for all classes to have some “equality” when it comes to at least gameplay wise.
You are asking for all classes to have a dispel. Which is the wrong direction.
The same way some clasess wear plate and are tankier vs. physical attacks.
Or your warlock, which compared to other cloth casters is mighty tanky.
On the other hand.
If what you propose is to give every class a special ability that allows for the affix dispel/CC, then its the same thing as an item.
It will only have sense as long as the affix exists.
Which brings me to :
No. It would solve it for as long as the affix exists. Its like keys. The item. Those exists. And will continue to exist as long as M+ exists.
I will go even deeper… in fact… NOBODY should be able to dispel anything at all. Only the healer.
And the dispel mechanics should be : if the mechanic is intended to be healed, NOBODY dispels it. If its intended to be dispelled, then ALL healers can dispel it.
Because you think that Afflicted sucks ?
Ok. How about dungeons like BH with diseases and DHT/EB in S3 with poison ?
It was MANDATORY to take multiple classes that could dispel poison/diseses in those dungeons simply because : Either you dispel that mechanic or you are dead.
And good luck to healers/DDs that cant dispel it. Its a massive Fyou in their face…
