i can confirm that range has been decreased damage is still stupid though
As other people have stated, there has always been a marker over your head when chased by the spiteful scumbags. The best part was seeing casters screaming about it as they know dang well they need to run from those flying gremlins.
This affix most definitely targets ranged and healers. (Healer myself). So the first part of your statement is incorrect. But the second part about it hurting groups dps as a whole and making groups prefer ranged over melee, I agree with.
Feel bad for healers this week, these spiteful prevent them for getting a quick drink before next pack, and on top of that, grievious drains their mana a lot. They actually need some mana before going into pride cause of grievous.At least when I tank I try to pause at least before a pack that procs pride, but on my alt very few tanks notice their mana. They don't even have time to write cause they need to dodge and walk away from spites
"Now, if you want to create a Weakaura that lets you know when you're fixated by a shade, it's much much easier!" Because the eyes on top of your character were not enough. Nor was the mob being red when it's fixated on you.
Can confirm that the spiteful adds no longer has arms that can reach across time and space to hit you
Can confirm deleting this affix from the game
it always has and still is affecting range (and healers). not sure where you got your info from.
mmmm...ok...and...
For me spiteful week means I’m not running many keys when normally I am addicted to themMaybe that’s what Blizzard wants? Less people playing means less strain on their servers
Their melee attack range is definitely smaller. I can whirlwind them now (8 yards) without taking hits, whereas before their range was longer than that (I suspect it was 10). Now it seems to be equal to my melee range (5 yards).
Totally off topic, On the Spiteful image on this topic what nameplate addon are they using?
I love how every other week is anti-melee week. I have 221 ilvl 1300 io Rogue but I am melee and you can basically only have 1 melee in a group on certain weeks. It feels really terrible to apply to groups for 30 mins and never get invited. It would be a welcome to change to have affixes like these change more quickly.
