Bolstering has to go

No. But the way bolstering does that is very inconvenient for a lot of classes.

Incovinient or challenging ?

I do mythics regardless of the affixes our week has… I don’t think Bolstering and fortefied should go. It feels like crap sure… But this is the mythic week combo that makes you actually think about your pulls. Your kicks and mechanics besides bosses.

Instead of just having a sonic theme playing in your head with a gotta go fast mentality.
Fortefied and bolstering week makes you tip your toes and actually step back from the ‘‘gotta go fast’’ mentality besides bosses.

Its the affix combo that makes you think ‘‘Slow and steady wins the race’’ xD cause if you go into this week with a ‘‘Gotta blast fast’’ mentality your gonna wipe your group repeatedly. And loose the key

Inconvenient. Because, let’s take DH as an example, many classes nowadays just naturally cleave with their normal rotation. Why do you think they changed how raging worked? Because it caused the same problems but in a even heavier form. Affixes with a percental scaling mechanic in a gamemode with its own percental scaling by the keystone level have an absurd escalation potential. Much more than affixes which require certain moving/positioning actions to counter them.

probably within the saga expansions with there being so many dungeons designed for m+ , affixes will become less effective . right now withouf affixes dungeons like TOTT would be irrelevant o affixes do cover the lack of mechanics but there are also dungeons like VOTI dungeons where there’s already enough mechanics etc. i think that’s why affixes become an issue

Ok that just means you have to change the way you play around it slightly

they should just cap the amount of stacks an enemy can get.
And the same should be applied to bursting

1 stack with 1% dmg increase? Stack lasts a second too

Oh I’m not trying to sway your opinion. You’re as entitled to give feedback as anyone else :+1:t3:. You aren’t the only one who prefers kiss curse affixes.

I don’t think they can really remove any more affixes, but I wouldn’t object to them swapping Bolstering to a Tyrannical week.

Affixes are meant to be an annoyance IMO. I hate spiteful. It’s not fun having to kill everything twice before you can move on/healer can drink/you can ress etc. Or worse everyone else in your group uses whatever portal/bubble lift and you’re left there with your ‘friend’ :dracthyr_hehe_animated: I also discovered (the hard way) that if you have spiteful on you and you’re doing the speedy maze bit in DOTI, you don’t get to go fast until it vanishes.

Just stun and move on to next pack

Or just move on to next pack, why waste a stun?

This is another example of people not being able to think more than 5 seconds ahead.

Player--------10 spiteful mobs ---------- Next pack

Could be

10 spiteful mobs ---------- Player ------------ Next pack

I know its not always that clear cut but…

Exactly all affixes can be played around and that’s a good thing. If you can ignore them what’s the point

Ideally yes if you haven’t already used your stun on the gazillion interrupts required on mobs. Or if you don’t need to go through a portal. Or if your healer doesn’t want to stop to drink. Or if you need to go through the maze. Or there aren’t three on me etc.

But thank you for stating the absolute obvious. If you have cc you can use it on a spiteful.

I’m having a great time with it. It’s okay that sometimes you can’t just hurpdidurpdidurpull300mobsandAoEthem.

I’m against the affixes on a principal level, sort of. I think they could do more by creating different bosses or mobs or mechanics that change slightly every week, but I prefer this to nothing, and I don’t think this affix is that bad.

Moving to the next pack doesn’t get you out of combat.

Congratulations never would have guessed that

I did a 20 EB last night, pulled super safe because of the horror stories here and timed it with more than 10 min left. Yes, I know this is just a baby training wheels key yead yada.

There is no reason why you gigachad bigdong megaproxDqt types can’t make this work on your big boy keys. You just need to change up your playstyle so you aren’t bolstering abominations, and theres what, 2/3 of them in the dungeon?

The more I think about this, the more I’m convinced affixes like this separate the unthinking tryhards from the people that can actually adapt as intended.
I think this “I only have fun pushing” statement is really “I only have fun upping my score and I don’t like it when you make it hard”.

To those of you that refuse to adapt, week is halfway over, maybe you can make a pre-emptive whine about next weeks affixes.
Start with “waaa spiteful touched me without permission” or " class X can’t do incorp the sky is falling and I just want to push score".

Swear they made that change a few years ago? In sl or bfa

Your reward is the gear at the end of the key

The gear is just a bonus. Your actual reward for completing the key is the satisfaction of completing said key.
