What Mythic+ Affixes do you Like And Not Like

Hi

I’m just curious about your opinions in Mythic Affixes, because I’m growing to get really tired of some of them

I mean some of them are fun and some of them I feel are just there to make your day awful

here are just few of many of the Affixes that i dont like

1-Necrotic: i feel like this affix is one of the worst affix and I dont know why and how they thought it would be a good idea to have it as affix
2-Bursting: another affix where i dont feel any fun whenever its up in the dungeon
3- Skittish: this one is just an awful affix to make you and your tank feel awful

and some affixes when combined they become very awful like where is the fun in this, its no longer fun.

and on first patch of BFA, they give us Infested which compared to Beguiling was ok, but was also none-fun affix

after that they give us the lovely affix Reaping everybody liked it. no issues there

and then they give us a massive slap in the face with Beguiling, like what the… ?!

I truly think they did Beguiling affix just to make it fun to watch in “Esport” while in reality, its the worst affix ever created, bad for the players since it sometime require Voice communication, and nowadays that dosn’t exist, and people leave after 1 wipe in a dungeon

I think they should make affixes more towards the fun side than the challenging side

but these are just my opinions, and i really wanna know your options on this

and what affixes you like and what you don’t like

Necrotic, Skittish and Quaking. The rest all have a method in which to deal with them, but the first two are major frustrations for the tank and Quaking serves no purpose other than being annoying.

Only hate quaking.

I love necro it shows the good and the bad tanks same for skittish and sanguine.

I also like bursting, it shows early if the dps have a brain. And if we can time it.

Grievous shows how good the healer is which i like.

Bolstering is fun at certain dungeons but a pain in others “siege of boralus”

Others i never really mind.

I hate weeks with bursting and bolstering. Basicaly afixes that cockblock you from pulling big. :joy:

5

Don’t hate any affix individually. It’s when they stack like skittish and sanguine, just a nightmare to tank. Wish they made more DPS affexyed affixes, 90% of the time it’s a tank/healer problem

Can’t stand sanguine as a tank
EDIT : Also can’t stand skittish as tank, but love it as 2 other roles

Can’t stand quaking as a healer

Can’t stand explosives as dps

Anything else works

Bolstering. My first affix I got while started tanking, hated it ever since.

8

I find quaking annoying. And bursting is a bit meh… when i have to start healing everyone they just run away from me to the next pull. I’m not good at healing on the move :sweat_smile: griev i used to hate, but its not too bad if the group is good at dodging avoidable damage. Well, most affixes can be a pain in the a… if the group is bad.

if i could i would blacklist bolstering and quaking from their respective tiers.
Dunno why so many dislike necrotic, for me it’s like no affix at all. Monk’s dodge helps i guess, also mass taunt makes skittish trivial

10

As healer, grievous and quaking, the rest are pretty much fine, allthough things can so south real quick with every affix, these two are by far the worst for me.
Quaking more because its just completely annoying more than anything though

11

I don’t really mind any of them, but I find Quaking to be a tad bit annoying…

12

You don’t play caster do you?

Otherwise I think Quaking would be topping your list based on this…

13

Dont play much dps at all tbh

Assa rogue
Affli lock
Marksman hunter

Upcomming : Firemage

Since im more of a tank & healer player and dont enjoy dps much but i wanna play every class so the pure dps stay dps cx

14

I like teeming because its just more mobs to kill which is always nice. That’s it for what i like.

I dislike:

  1. Volcanic, because in my opinion it’s existence is totally unnecessary. Step one to any direction and you are fine… Just… why? There is nothing challenging or fun about that.

  2. Bursting/bolstering, because they go against what mythic+ is. Try to clear the dungeon as fast as you can to upgrade your key, yet you can’t do that, because it forces you to be slow, otherwise you die after every pull. Bolstering is slightly better if you pull packs with equal amount of hp, but one pull by mistake during that and you have one mob that could oneshot Sargeras.

  3. Skittish, because it feels like it only serves one purpose, to screw with everyone.

I don’t really care about other affixes, but people who don’t know how to handle them can certainly make me hate them for a short period of time.

15

It’s solely a caster and healer affix to lower dps through movement.

16

Nice thread.

BAD affixes are Bolstering, because it magnifies any ninja pulls and teeming.

Easy affixes are Volcanic, Skittish, Quaking and bursting. They range for me from easy to deal if you pay attention to ignore worthy.

The rest are decent, Sanguine and Necrotic are decent, not too hard not something you can ignore.

Just my opinion ofc.

17

from disc pov definitely bursting and griveous.

thats the only time i legit get triggered when people stand afk after a pack instead of regenerate their health with food.

I’m ok with affixes that can be reasonably controlled, or have little effect on the dungeon. I don’t particularly hate any single one of them, rather some combinations. In itself, none of them are much of an issue really.

  • Teeming: More mobs. Who cares?
  • Raging: Well, don’t pull 3 packs, duh. And finish off low-hp mobs fast. No biggie.
  • Bolstering: Focus on most dangerous mob first, and don’t pull 3 packs, duh.
  • Sanguine: Mobs need to be positioned, and pulled out of goo. Only a problem in narrow places, but even then, there’s usually plenty of cleared space to pull them to. Casters can be a problem, but line of sight is one’s best friend.
  • Bursting: A tad annoying, when you want to drink before the next pack, but other than that, no big deal in itself.
  • Necrotic: Kiting is an art. More people should practice it. With a decent tank and group who help with kiting with slows, knocbacks and whatnot, and a tank that starts kiting while he’s still healable instead of once he has 40+ stacks, this is fine. Not much different than, say, Sanguine.
  • Skittish: This one is fun! Finally an affix that relies on DPS not being mindless! It’s fun watching them get scared and try to drop aggro.
  • Volcanic: The easiest way to spot a bad player: they hug volcanos. I heard many people complain about not being able to cast due to volcanos. To you I say: hahahahaha. DPSing is not just about standing still 24/7 and casting spells or abilities. Sometimes you gotta move. Volcanic makes you move.
  • Quaking: Same as volcanic. The spread-out dance is fun. It’s a bit annoying when you want to drink up and get quaked, but that’s my biggest issue with it really.
  • Explosive: Switch targets. No biggie.
  • Grievous: Since I try to keep everyone topped, because I mostly PuG, and people stand in all kinds of nasty stuff anyway, I usually don’t even notice Grievous.
  • Beguiling: Void emissaries are a pain, the other two are not.

Now, some combinations, like Necrotic + Bursting are a pain in the backside. Those I hate, because while people can usually deal with one, dealing with two is often considerably harder. Like, I’m fine with high bursting stacks, I’ll keep the group up. But with high necrotic stacks to boot… ugh.

All in all, I find most affixes fun. Challenging at times, but still fun, if for nothing else, to see how the group handles it. Handling it well is fun. Seeing the group utterly fail is amusing.

Skittish. Not because I dislike the idea behind it (from what I can guess), but it is being played wrong by most of the dps.

After one attack of a tank a dps instantly pushes his Azerite Beam, at this point the mob pack did not reach the tank yet. Then you either read “ugh, tank please” or “I hate Skittish”. Yea well, duh, that is the whole point, that you control your aggro. Besides, it seems to affect the already lesser representated tanks the most, bad idea.

Apart from that some combinations are horrendous.

  • Fortified + teeming.
  • Sanguine + Quaking + Void heavy dungeons
  • …

It is just sad to see that most pure tank/healing affixes are no problem. But when the whole group has to pay attention most of the successrates drop below 50% :laughing:
