Worst affix in M+

Most people will be like - buuuhuuu it’s bolstering!
Answer is no. It’s very easy to deal with.

What really is the WORST… is…
AFFLICTED.

Why? Because only a very few DPS classes can talent it. It forces you to play with specific classes just to be able to really deal with it. Which, you all know, sucks.
Playing my resto shaman feels good. For sure. I press 1 button and don’t care.
But playing my DPS chars, such as rogue, DH or wlock? I’m in a nightmare, that I can’t control. Because I am fully depending on others. Please… Remove this absolutely USELESS affix.

Well, we have incorporation. Which in my opinion is fine. But it’s quite boring.
Then we have all the affixes that hurts everyone, such as storming, raging, bolstering etc.

Afflicted is the current only HEALER affix in the game. We had overflowing and griveous etc.

But DPS are hurt by most. But there’s so many idiots in this game, that straight up refuses to because “I’m DPSing!”, it makes these weeks just a pure nightmare which is completely impossible to stand.
Try play a DPS without dispell, with a friend who can’t dispell either. Now you have to just PRAY TO THE GODS that this 3rd DPS can do his/her job.

It’s also insanely dumb, with so many debuffs that needs dispelling, that this affix exists. At least nerf its HP by 50% so any instant heal can do the job.

I found Storming more interesting that most affixes. It made the combat actually have more depth on an RNG level.

Poison cleanse totem so can’t feel your pain on this one. Although I have no idea how you are supposed to handle raging in Brackenhide when they all scatter and can’t be CC’d.

You only need two ppl to deal with it. Its a joke affix

Cant like at least half of classes spec for it tho?

Yeah, but here’s the problem right… The healer, and the other guy… The other guy generally don’t dispel in most keys… I’d rather be able to dispell with my characters too, but I can’t. Then the healer has to dispell other stuff too which are lethal…

Personally I hate sanguine the most.

Nothing more frustrating than seeing a caster that can’t be interrupted or gripped hard casting spells in the middle and not moving. Sure with good play it usually gets avoided easily enough, a that moves well will mostly mitigate most it… But when it goes wrong… It’s just pure rage.

It’s not fun, it’s not challenging, it’s pure annoyance.

13

for me its bursting… or whatever its called? The one where if you kill mobs they do x amount of extra damage and one shots you in the end.

I have too watch all those health bars and just go hands off the keyboard when the health bars are low. So my AOE dmg don’t end up getting everybody killed.

Other players are sometimes the worst affix, the ones I’m referring to will complain and insult others over the smallest thing and usually ends up on a failed run.

Bursting and Bolstering is nasty.

Afflicted can be annoying, but when I play Prot Pala, I just dispell one of the ghosts and it becomes a non-affix.

16

Bursting, raging, bolstering etc all become healer affixes because the healer has to deal with the consequences.

You’re talking rubbish.

This affix spawns 1-2 Afflicted Soul who cast Afflicted Cry every about 30-40 sec.
You have to heal them up to full hp or just dispell.

Macro for hovercasting:

If your cursor is on some friendly target then you cast the 1st spell else you cast the 2nd spell.
Change this macro for your abilities as you wish.

Druids might also want to use the upgraded version of this macro for their specs:

PS: The souls are disappeared out of combat.
PPS (thanks for Rosep): Death Knights can heal the souls with Death Coil

Considering we need to be in melee range to hit things, yes.

It’s not like these spawn at random they come from the mobs we kill/around the mobs we are fighting which is funnily enough where we stand.

Not like healers aren’t affected by spiteful either. If they want to drink we have to kill them.

19

Afflicted can be dealt with by priests, Mages, paladins, shamans, druids, and evokers, as well as with direct heals.

Most of the time my healer gets mad if I do dispel them because it’s a waste of my time to do it when they can comfortably get both of them.

Bursting, is just as much a DPS affix as HEALER affix. If DPS push too fast, they will explode. Simple. Griveous was 100% healer affix.
Raging??? How is this a healer affix? It’s SOOTHE, which only a few classes has. It’s more of a “tank” affix than a “healer” affix by ALL means.
BOLSTERING?!?!?! How is this even close to being a healer affix? It’s 100% only a DPS and TANK affix???

You’re talking rubbish, and clearly have no idea what you’re talking about.
