I'm sick of the Xal'atath affixes

M+ doesn’t get fun until +12, except that the scaling is so high that you can barely enjoy it because that’s most likely where people reach their stop. Doing lower keys is just not fun because I constantly have to focus on this atrocious affix. Lower level keys are just frustrating at this point.

This is even worse because I have to do lower keys to get runed crests… It feels so wrong that +2~11 keys are more sweaty cause of the affix than +12 keys.

Oh no, 17 out of 20 times you have to spend 4 seconds to gain +20% of a secondary stat for 20 seconds, 2 out of 20 times the enemies get 1 stack of benefit (you still get 18% stat) and 1 out of 20 times you are close to/actually wipe because of it.

I have a feeling you would have loved OG Bolstering or Explosive.

If you want the highest ilvl gear in the game you should have to concentrate and play mechanics.

That ratio is a lot different for boss fights. It’s annoying with trash, but it’s worse for fights. Last boss CoT, TWICE we had orbs while being rooted at a timing where we couldn’t deal with it. issue Same with last boss in CoE, etc.

No I did not.

That’s the thing, it shouldn’t be that way. The affixes should just be removed. It’s not fun, it’s annoying. Shouldn’t be that mechanically higher keys are less complex.

To be fair; you are a sitting duck when you need to fly on the 1st boss Dawnbreaker and the orbs spawn. And there are way more stupid examples like this. On paper every mechanic is easy. I am so happy playing on 12’s now.

Yeah that’s the thing, I don’t think the affixes are bad at all. Imo they are better than anything we got before, I just still hate them.

+12 keys are so chill, there’s no nagging feeling of an affix that’s about to spawn and you have to deal with. I’m just really sad it starts at +12 and then I most likely won’t go past +13 or +14 this season and I don’t even get to enjoy it…
