How's the tyrranical + bolstering + necrotic affix for you guys going on? Tank/heal perspective

I just tanked a +13 out of time and not even going to attempt doing anymore… I feel these affixes lower’s the confidence levels of a healer and tank… and thats why why mostly people avoid these…

respect to tanks and healers who brave enough to push keys on these afixxes. some day i will be like you

its annoying.

but the most annoying part is dps classes saying its “easy” because their job is literally unchanged.

seems horribly taxing affix for tanks and healers.

but gotta blame blizard for making game harder and harder each expansions.

its also problem cause by lack of loot of tf. people are doing dungeons while horribly undergeared compared to BfA/Legion.

i dread having to do “only” 1 x 10+ as tank for GV lottery this week :confused: because i know it will be horrible experience. hoping for some “weekly” group that dont mind wiping many times in there :stuck_out_tongue:

This week is better than fortified + spiteful :slight_smile:

I’m going to try healing a PF+12 later today. We’ll have two monks in it and I’m hoping that double Ring of Peace will negate Necrotic.

More bothered by Tyrannical. At least with Fortified you can always finish the dungeon, even if it takes ages.

As healer, I have to find an extra ~30% output and longevity, which generally means I have to aim a few key levels down. So yeah, I agree; Tyrannical lowers confidence. Even dedicated push groups tend to slack off on these weeks.

Doesn’t feel healthy for the game, tbqh. If you have weeks where “everyone knows” you don’t push keys, what are those players doing with that time?

did a 16 plaguefall, wasn’t too bad aside from the new hotfix completely messing up the rain timings on last phase.

then i tried a 15 sanguine and decided im never going back to that place.

they need to nerf tyranical for the sake of balance.

no reason to discourage people from playing keys every other week. just nerf it to 20% hp instead of 40%

sorry i might have to disagree from you from a tank perspective. Since tanks are already rare ------this week make it even more harder for pugs to find a tank healer for these horrible affixes.

This week is horrible. I will do maybe 4 max m+ this week, and lower keys than usual.

Probably just gonna do one +15 like every week. Whatever the affixes, don’t bother me much. I don’t care about timing the key either since I’m just doing it for weekly vault.

ye just did 15 plague, phase 3 is defo aids, with tentacles rng and rain hitting a ton.

but it was “easy” accoring to my rogue. to output 10k hps rain run from melee minions that one shot you and dodging tentacles.

I am not pugging so there is that. But my tank is REALLLLY happy last week is over. It was so draining he was only able to play a couple of keys per evening. Yesterday he could go on and on and on.

tbh for me the rain wasnt really the problem, I just set up cooldowns beforehand and rotate them. what caught me off guard was the fact that their hotfix to make her cast rains less in P3 made it overlap in such a way that she started casting it literally in the middle of a tentacle dance which I wasn’t ready for.

didn’t wipe but it certainly caught me off guard as I had never seen that before.

its only an issue in phase 3 when you have to run from tentacles and adds while rain is happening.

I thought plaguefall is easy now after the nerfs… i have a +12 PF and was thinking to pug it on the week end…

WELP… i guess not then

The problem with necrotic is that there is just waaaay too many mobs that you simply cannot kite as a tank especialy a low mobility one like blood DK, prot warrior or prot paladin.

Thank god its not fortified this week.

fortified is easy af

well I would say its EASIER than last week (if you have good route)

just saying it caught me off guard, and now I know that I must save mobile healing cds for P3 instead of like always just saving lust and using whatever healing CD happens to be up.

how he is happy that last week is over?
Spiteful doesn’t even affect tanks at all. In fact in encourages you to pull and run to the next group quickly.
Volcanic is is a non affix as well and fortified trash is more fun than tyrannical like 10 times.

I am tanking…

this is why sanguine was a nightmare for me this week. Gauntlet felt like complete **** when the adds just stack up necrotic in 5 seconds and gl kiting them when boss keeps running at tank mach 7 when hes trying to reset.
