Hello everyone , not a salt post but just a general question about sanguine affix. I got to 3k as healer a few months ago and I’m very close to being 3k on another healer but this week is sanguine and I realised that whenever it is a sanguine week no matter if its tyrannical or Fortified I just “skip” the week completely. I thought there wasn’t many people who do it but turns out that the people I started playing with recently are doing the exact same thing , if it’s sanguine week they just don’t do anything over like +16 cus it’s just annoying. M+ feels like it was in a better state lately as there is now less affixes and some more annoying ones were removed but sanguine remains…Anyone else shares the same opinion or maybe disagrees? If you would want to “fix” sanguine , how would you do it? I would personally change the affix to go from healing the mobs to giving them a small dmg boost while they are inside sanguine but I wonder what the community thinks of this topic
I’d just remove affixes all togehter. Changing dungeons every season is more than enough variety and each affix is simply an annoyance, not something that makes the game more fun. They might keep tyrannical and fortified, but even those are questionable…
Sanguine is fine as it is. It just takes tanks a couple of days to remember to move the mobs before they get healed by it… and a couple of days into the next week to remember that it’s OK to tank them in one place.
It also takes dps to hold dps on a low health mob if its about to die under a ‘general’ or a mob with an uninterruptible cast 
Sanguine is not fine and it should be removed/changed asap. It is, in its current state, simply not playable. An affix that makes ppl quit the game for a week cant be a good idea or healthy for the game.
It’s is playable. What you wrote is just hyperbole.
If you mean you can complete keys in sanguine then sure. But you simply cannot time your top key levels in sanguine and since m+ is kind of about pushing keys to your limit it is not playable, no.
?
No.
I’m doing 16-17 keys for ages by now because I just can’t be bothered playing at my limit.
If you think Sanguine is not fine now then you would’ve really hated it pre-DF. And still then, it was fine if the tank knew what to do. It absolutely is fine how it is now.
So? Changing/removing sanguine doesnt take that away from you. Leaving it as it is takes away pushing for those who want to though. Thats why it should go.
Its just not though. How the tank plays or whatever you try as a group, you cant time your top keys on this affix. Hence it is a dead week for everyone who plays to push keys.
It is. Sanguine now is way more manageable than it was in pre-DF. Literally have a tank that stopped playing on sanguine weeks pre-DF and now he’s just minorly annoyed by them.
And what kind of top keys are we talking about? 15s? 20s? 25s? If its anything under 25, no one cares. No one pushes the “annoying” weeks anyway. Just look at the top runs and see what affixes people focus to push on. Always been like that.
I don’t see your point. If sanguine has been worse in the past doesn’t mean its not bad now. Sure below 25 no one cares, so why not change it? No one pushes in bad weeks anyway? Yes, that’s exactly the point. Sanguine is by far the worst week and nobody pushes keys. It has always been like that? Ok sure, so that means its good then?
In the end there will always be a worst affix. And i am not asking for the removal of all affixes. When this issue only arises above +25’s i think it is fine.
Totally agree, but that doesn’t mean blizzard should not even try balancing them at all right? Even if its never perfect it can be made better and better by changing the very worst of the worst.
It is quite difficult to balance them, since some affixes have more influence in specific dungeons than in other dungeons, and also depends on group compositions. Overall i think blizz is doing quite a lot of work on trying to balance them. They have also taken some terrible ones out and made some new affixes for this season (whatever the oppinion/experiences are with the new affixes).
Yes they do and I am not saying that affixes are a total mess. But again saying it could be worse doesn’t mean it can’t be better.
It means no one cares. Just like people not wanting to push Tyran weeks over Frot weeks unless its one specific affix combo every 5th wee. I see way more people complain about Incorp and Afflicted. Me included. Not fun not being able to properly deal with an affix. Everyone dooms and glooms over every single affix when its just fine as it is. Just don’t play that week or play an alt and wait for another week. Its not an issue.
Everyone has a problem with every single affix. Seen some caster complain about Volcanic because they have to “move too much”?. Should that be removed too? The only affix warranted a removal was grevious. That just added more stress to healers than they already had.
First of all its a fact that sanguine is the worst affix for pushing keys right now, you don’t need to belive it you can just look it up on raider.
Secondly, ofc I can skip the week and play alts like I do, but does it make sense to keep an affix in the game and tell ppl to just not play? I don’t think so.
people are over dramatic anguine isnt that bad isnt even close to the worst affix
