If you can self-heal that counts too, but the absorb is pretty big on 11.

Self only:

  • Death Knight: Anti-Magic Shell (with Unyielding Will)
  • Hunter: Feign Death (with Emergency Salve), Aspect of the Turtle
  • Monk: Diffuse Magic
  • Paladin: Divine Shield
  • Rogue: Cloak of Shadows
  • Warrior: Bitter Immunity

Self or targetted:

  • Druid: Nature’s Cure (healer), Remove Corruption
  • Evoker: Cauterizing Flame, Expunge, Naturalize (healer)
  • Mage: Remove Curse
  • Monk: Detox
  • Paladin: Cleanse (healer), Cleanse Toxins
  • Priest: Purify (healer), Purify Disease
  • Shaman: Cleanse Spirit, Purify Spriit (healer),

AOE:

I realise Shamans with their totems are likely to be very popular this reset but other classes can do stuff too.

what a big surprise

Thats why shaman is so good this dungeons all dungeons have curses - poisons and gues what shaman is good at removing. The only nerf to shaman i woild suggest is make cleansing poison totem a 2 minute cd instead of 45 seconds

No Shaman? No invite.

Yeah, we’ve been talking about this affix yesterday on Discord and we’ve concluded that shamans will render this affix as absolutely trivial. Basically non-existent to the entire group, just the shaman.

If you’ve got a shaman on your group, it’s basically a free buff every so often.

That beind said I’m a bit confused why they decided to put in such an affix again as it reminds me of afflicted which caused issues with several classes such as warriors in M+.

Looks like warrios will have a hard time again with this affix.

Warriors can selfheal to remove it if they really need to.

It’s not just a dispel, you can heal through it too.

Question is - can they selfheal enough in the time window they have? Idk, someone mentioned it requires a lot of healing on +11s.

Someone is a little salty i see. You play a priest, you can MD and purify(disease) it, world of priest craft!

It is a dispellable rift, isn’t it? So every spec with a dispell can solo this affix?
People go wild over shaman, but it looks like a lot of classes can solo it.

Yeah, doesn’t Ion main a Shaman? Ok, ok, I remove my tinfoil hat.

For real, only one of these is usable, and that class was already popular due to (among others) that reason. MD: long cooldown and crappy range. Revival; long cooldown. So, good for Shamans again.

This is ridiculous.

The way i read it is you can dispell the rift as mage and it is GG.

Solo on a short CD only shaman in think, other classes will have to rely on the group.

It all depends on how frequently it pops

I am very hard searching for videos to see how the affix works, but i can’t find a good explanation yet.

Wowhead:
The rift unleashes its energy after 15 seconds, healing all enemies in combat. The rift collapses if it is dispelled or players receive enough healing, granting all players critical strike chance and maximum health.

So to me it sounds like every spec with a dispell can GG the affix.

It is basically afflicted but on all 5 players.

Jesus christ.

Blizzard simply cant learn anything can they ? They need to fix this dispel situation because its getting out of hand.

It got out of hand with MD. Its getting out of hand with poison clensing totem. And I fear that instead of doing what must be done, they will gut that totem as they did with MD.

It works different. Its a debuff on all players, so unless u have aoe dispel u cant do it alone.

Iirc dispels have like 8 sec CD, u wont have enough time to dispel everyone before it runs out and then negative part is applied.

Rn only 3 classes aoe deal with it and only shaman can deal with every single onr because of CDs
