As a healer main to the core, this game will no longer have healers if they continue to make unfun, obnoxious, and honestly healer-punishing mechanics.
This is just all bad. Not looking forward to season 2 at all.
You KNOW for a fact how bad state of Hunters are in high keys when none of their abilities are even mentioned encountering these affixes. 😂Disengage gets rid of roots and Freezing Trap is a great hard CC that can be applied to almost all type of mobs unlike Banish, Hibernate or Turn Evil. 🙄 Also adding my vote for /remove Explosives but as we know, the always stubborn Blizz will play the hard ball and NEVER admit their failure. So, get ready to play the game or /unsub. You don't have any other option in this matter!Edit:- Forgot about Tranq Shot for Afflicted mobs too! Dang it, Hunters really are in a bad shape when you start forgetting one of their unique utility but I guess that's the goal and now it's working as intended. 😣
I'm skipping S2 and if this continues to S3, I am going to stop playing wow and play Diablo 4.
They can simply make:After you kill an explosive, the amount of HP that it had, do be dealt split damage between all targets.Wow, so hard to do beneficial things for community…
Oh awesome so we get another few mobs to hard stop/kick 25 million times alongside the normal trash we have to kick/stop already present?It’s already an “issue” (less so in coordinated groups, but let’s use the pug scene as reference) in some dungeons, with the sheer amount of needed kicks, to manage this incorporeal BS on top of this is even more BS. I’ll refrain from ^&*!@ing even more on the other affoxes and the explo change which will just make sure those m+ weeks sre not played.
I just don't understand. Why is Blizzard so hellbent on annoying the $%^& out of their playerbase? Why can't they just remove everything that isn't fun? It makes 0 sense.
Afflicted is just... horrible... its not like healers allready have to deal with most of the affixes... fml this going to be so %^&*ty...I allready have no interest in season 2. This season was... ok i guess. Seasonal affix for once does not do much. But this? Holy $%^&...On higher keys you always to bigger pulls. So you have no dispells for the players. Just one for the first mob. Heal the second. DIspell the last. And with some luck nobody dies while you pump 200k healing into one of the mobs....I don't mind the CC one... everybody has CC. These will be a absolut non issue. Same with the entangle. But the Afflicted will wreck PuGs and healers.
Looks miserable as expected
"How are you suppost to keep up" - while not even targeting the orb LMAO
Remove Affixes
I strongly encourage Blizzard Devs to read feedback for season 2 or they will indeed lose a lot of people.As a healer main this week is horrible indeed. Sure 20s are still easy but trying to push 23s/24s is not fun. GL dealing with all the orbs as a healer in RLP where everything is doing huge AOE dmg and you, believe it or not, have to heal. Not a push week shouldn't be an option. 25% of my sub time is just unenjoyable. That shouldn't be the case. We as the customers should be the priority for the feedback not the selected few MDI players or people who have never played high end M+ or even worse, ones who came up with all of this. Season 2 so far seems like a slap to the players. PS. I know there are some DPS players who think "hEaLer iS the EasieSt roLe iN tHe gAmE! ItS RelAxiNg. LooK aT My 3K HeAlEr aLt!" Yes, doing 20s isn't hard. I did a 20 intime on 391mage. What is your point? Mine is that as dps you can ignore most of the affixes if you have at least 2 braincells. A Spiteful shade coming for me? Ill just avoid it. Done. I got slapped? Healer fix this.Explosives? Ill take the on next to me. Done. Rest? Healer fix this.Bursting? DPS go brrr. Healer fix this. A SPECIFIC HEALERS AFFIX.Grievous? Healer fix this. A SPECIFIC HEALERS AFFIX.Quaking? Volcanic? Storming? Learn to walk. Ups, forgot how. Healer fix this.Didn't clear Thundering? Healer fix this.Sanguine? Tanks problem. Ups, stepped in some. Healer fix this.If this triggered you, congrats, you're probably the problem. PSS. At the state these affixes are, there is no way they are going live as this. Well, Id like to believe so. New explosives have so much HP that its easier to let them go off. Healer fix this.All the new ones just scream "Healer fix this".
.... and i thought it will be nice, dispelling one add.. when it actually can spawns multiple.. i thought it is affix not dependable on amount of mobs, f... this - blizz really hate healersEdit - thinking about it more - this whole change actually feels like downgrade - volcanic only forced one/two steps, quake when it hit at bad places - yeah, it hurt, but ultimately you needed just few steps too and stop casting - as holy priest - the entagling is just nightmare, i dont have way to get out of it (i hope atleast fade will work on that %movement reduction part), and dispelling 1 out of three mobs and then hard casting to heal them? and the explosive is just nightmare
