I want to add we hated bad seasonals. We had some really good ones in shadowlands (kiss curse)
The first dragonflight affix was just garbage sadly

No they arent, they are easy just requires people to play properly.
The dispel isnāt easy. Itās difficult to target the affix adds when they spawn in the middle of a trash pack or on the other side of a bossās huge hitbox.
And they favour certain classes to such an extent that players of classes who donāt have a way to deal with them might as well sit out of pugging M+ altogether on those weeks. And if you play with a fixed group, you put your entire group at a disadvantage in some weeks depending on what class you play.
Entangling is fine, especially if you have a pala who can freedom the tank (or a pala tank), but afflicted (in particular) and incorporeal just suck. Even explosive in the mini boss room of Halls of Atonement was better than those two. You might have all had to run round like headless chickens trying to get the orbs, but at least everyone could contribute.
I honestly havenāt minded any of the seasonal affixes. Even prideful (which was hard on pugs, but so are the new affixes) was fine in a fixed group when you could control where you spawned it to take advantage of the āfree lustā from killing it, and use self-heals and rotate group wide healing CDs during. In SL s1, we built every route to make the most of pride spawns.
I can only assume the devsā decision to move away from kiss-curse affixes is simply another case of āfun detectedā.

And what exactly need to do, if i donāt have dispell or hard cc?
The dispell is relatively easy when you take a group with 3 players who can deal with it. CC has any class except warrior? My problem with the CC is that you can overlap CCās on the same target, getting the spell on cooldownā¦ Dispell at least doesnāt work when someone else did it.

If Unholy take Undead Dominance, itās cost 60% dps overall. So this is the 2 affix that I donāt have a way to deal with.
Control undead means 60% dps overall loss?
For Unholy - yes. Itās dismiss our pet and turn off a lot of passive bursts.

The dispel can be magic, curse or poison so a lot of classes can do it. Its not difficult to target them, mine have a health bar.
A warlock can take care of incorporeal entirely on their own, and also DH, Druid, Evoker,Mage, shaman, preist, paladin, hunter and monk can take care of them. People just need to actually do it.
The only time this should be an issue is if you are in a party with only DK and warriors in it, which would be a bad group in the first place.
Allthough i understand it is far from optimal for unholy (frost doesnāt give a crap), i doubt you get a 60% dps loss over a whole dungeon by pressing it a couple of times.
If āa lot of classesā means about half of them, then yes, I agree. Was the reason that you didnāt list them (as you did for incorporeal) because you didnāt want to admit that it was actually about half?
So do mine, but I still have to spend time messing with the camera angle to target one thatās on the other side of a boss hitbox, and while Iām doing that I risk missing an important mechanic.
Sure, lots of classes can deal with them. Thereās also the issue of sometimes not seeing them, especially if they spawn somewhere behind you in a corridor. The cast ignores LoS, which is absurd.
(Hunters often find it very difficult to deal with them, by the way, because hunter traps are floor targeted, not mob targeted. If the affix mob is in the middle of a pack, thereās a high chance of the trap hitting the wrong mob. The only time hunters are really useful against them is when they spawn somewhere away from other mobs.)
Well, yeah. It would be a bad group, but only because the affixes have been designed in such a way as to make warriors and DKs undesirable. Which was entirely my point.
No the reason i didnt list them is because the healers i run with usually deal with them without issue. one dispel and one is healed up. So much so that i dont even think about it and my healers just sort it out.
Well not really the affixes, also that you have no healer, that could pose an issue too.
Realistically they arenāt healable or it is a low key. I have tried it last week again of course but it needs about 5 heals including big spenders like word of glories. I havenāt managed to heal one. Next to that i am 95% of the time healing my team anyway, so it is a very big risk.
depends of timing. In moment Unholy lose around 80%. If it in burst - gg 3 min of dps lost. Talants way also cost 5-10% of overall dmg. DK havnāt dps without cd at all, so if you dismiss pet while burst - dps drop below tank.
Ah, youāre so clever. Why didnāt I think of that?
Of course the group would have a healer, but your attitude here is the reason why so many healers refuse to play on afflicted weeks:
āJust another healer affix. Let the healer deal with it as well as keeping us all alive.ā
I guess tanks never need dispelling. Right?
I mean, you said overall damageā¦ Not 1 burst timing. When i have to do it as healer during a high damage window we all die. You can choose to have 1 pull wasted dps or wipe.
