This affix is literal crap, it’s unfun, it’s disruptive, and it synergizes really badly with other existing affixes.
Overall id give it a 0/10, this is my most disliked affix in the game at the moment.
You removed teeming in the past for reasons, but kept explosive? What exactly is the thought process here?
Is it about fun? Explosive is not fun, what is it about then?

Maybe don’t pull more than you can handle.

Have you considered making a better argument?
This is about the intrinsic unfun factor of explosive.
It’s not just about added difficulty.
I always get arguments like this, you criticize something, and people immediately wanna show off how much of a better player they are, because surpassing badly designed mechanics is somehow an achievement.
Well maybe if you don’t like this dogs… maybe it’s because you’re not good at the game! Or maybe i don’t like it because it’s just bad.
Please, just stop, and think.

There’s nothing bad about explosive. It’s just people being bad and expecting one player to handle all the explosives or pulling too much so they can’t kill explosives.

All right, this will be my last reply to you because clearly there is no conversation to be had.
So ill keep it brief.
You’re wrong.
It’s about as detailed as the response you gave.

Same argument as before, at least try a little harder than the other person.

All I hear from you is that you can’t change targets fast enough.

All right, are you gonna make a better argument now? On the actual merits of explosive and what it brings to the game?
No you won’t? Then just get out of here.
It brings additional challenge in the form of making you not smooth brain your damage rotation into an aoe pack.
You want to know an affix that brings next to nothing?
Thundering.
Explosive is fine.

How does it differ from other affixes that also make you think about pulls, but in a less annoying way?
Like bursting, or bolstering etc…
The answer is it doesn’t, because there is nothing intrinsically fun with explosives. You could argue that it teaches you about priority targets, but we already have that in the forms of particularly powerful mobs, or mobs that do something that must be dealt with.
Explosives is not fine. It’s anti fun. i don’t give a damn about how hard it is, m+ is already an infinitely scaling system, you could make it as hard as you want even without a single affix. So if there is an affix that makes the gameplay worse, i want it REMOVED from the game.

They have 1k HP, and a single moonfire/instant will delete them. It’s not a huge deal. However, certain mobs are spawning far too many in one go, which I think should be looked into.
It doesn’t make game play worse though.
You’re really angry. Go eat a snickers or something. Maybe get some fresh winter air.

except that it’s garbage and atrocious for people like me who can’t properly select specific targets due to reduce accuracy with my hand.

You know lots of people tell me that, i think when you say that kind of stuff it just shows how mentally weak you are.
That you have to resort to effectively: well i don’t like your attitude argument. Which is not even an argument.
Just accept that you don’t know wtf you are talking about.

Compared to the other affixes, this is one of the rare ones that actually affects dps players. The others are all tank & healer stuff. So yes, it’ll suck (for dps) this week. But it’s fine. It’s one week. Do the bare minimum for your weekly chest and take a break

I have to disagree with that.
The point that “this is one of the rare affixes that affects dps player” Is just false.
Sure, there are some affixes that are more targeted to healers or tanks, but in general it’s pretty evenly spread.
The only real outlier i can think of is grievous. That’s basically it. But even as a dps you can do a lot of things to mitigate that.
