This affix is horrible, it doesn’t do anything to address the mana spent trying to catch up in heals after spamming your spells twice as fast.
Reverted thankfully.
Worst affix so far, all the other bargains are cool
My Key group is massively demotivated this expansion vs even season 4's boring keys, they missed the mark pretty badly,
Blizz BEFORE expansion release: Our "new" philosophy is "Play the Dungeon, NOT the affix." 😇😇 Blizz AFTER seeing many suckers believed into that lie: Ha Ha! Did you really think we were gonna change? YOU WILL PLAY THE AFFIX and forget about the Dungeon as it's always intended. 😈😈
Best would be to simply disable each affix during boss encounters. There are too many edge cases which need to be hackfixed into at least 50% of the boss encounters to make them even remotely reasonable. Bosses should alone have all the abilities already in their kit, so there is no need for affixes in addition to those.
This affix is easily the most annoying one because it takes away damage from bosses and trash. At 30mil+ absorb shield it was way too much. It also stops you from progressing in Mists.At 14 mil it's a lot more manageable, but it should be nerfed even further.
Affix sucks.Even with the buff, a 50% CD reduction on "some" abilities is not worth the time you have to invest in killing the Emissary.It doesn't reduce the CD of trinkets and several other Major CDs, so just de-syncs your team. It also locks you in combat and can spawn even after you leave combat first. If I could change it I would- Change the CD reduction to flat +crit or vers, but give more to compensate for the time spent killing the Emissary + damage reduction on mobs- Have the Emissary de-spawn upon leaving combat and give the full buff regardless of killing it. - Direct attacks should lower stacks of the damage reduction on mobs in addition to removing it outright when killed.
50% cd reduction over 20sec is still just 10 seconds reduction total. Way better than the 4 seconds it was before but I'd still take haste affix over this any day
Would be fun to Watch a stream with the dev doing a high key with this affix heck I would pay money to watch cause that be some top tier entertainment
People got carried and/or boosted for gold (sorry, I boost them in m+ for gold ;) then they go to fast to high keys.. and don't know what is dangerous (boss,trash) or even know the mechanics. Saw it often.. yeah we boosters create the problem..I have to run my 10th anyways.. why not taking gold for it?
my opinion is all affixes are !@#$ and no chalenging thats it
This is such a stupid affix
