Whoever designed either iteration of this affix needs to be fired. I'm not kidding. It's incredible how this &*!@ gets through team meetings, and it literally takes like 2 seconds of thought to figure out how this is still poorly thought out galactic !@#$ tier design.It'll be...somewhat okay if they make it so people running back can't get it, but the fact this is even a change that needs to be made shows how poorly designed this affix is in general. Just...you get a debuff and have to stack to clear it...is just...such lazy design.
1. 15% buff disappears when the debuff is removed. please don't make us min-max this2. 8 seconds stun. no comments. everyone dislikes it3. -> Don't Run Back. The affix can proc on people who aren't with the group. This means that running back will be super dangerous So if I(especially as a DPS) died, released and run from a far distance I could easily kill myself and another player.Current design is even far from "not bad".
Just delete this affix. It's just unfun.
Can the stun be dispellable atleast?So if f*** up happens and tank still alive (somehow, stated it does crap ton dmg if not removed) it can be removed by heal.Technically, stun is regarded as physical category cc, so pala's bop or bubble should work regardless but what about the other tanks then...
Quite a big oof. There's going to be a weakaura that tells you who to run to and in what direction that's gonna be mandatory in pugs. On top of that there's multiple bosses that have damage amp phases in this season and you run into times when stopping dps to one bang a phase is a real issue.On top of that there's a lot of fights where running to the tank is quite impossible. Right now it feels like having this affix on every single dungeon all season makes the otherwise great dungeon pool a lot worse.
Dont like it even after the changes. I hope blizz will change it again and make it better.
as a tank main this sounds awful for so many reasons, pugging in this season will be dead
There are multiple grammatical mistakes in this article.
Ok after trying the affix on beta I would say it's not as bad as some people think it is. It's definitely not the best seasonal affix and there are some bugs and glitches but overall I could see it going to live. Lightning and air debuffs are clearly visible and there are already weakauras that track the timer (although you don't need them if it's easier for you to glance over at debuffs). Tanks don't get the affix unless someone is dead. It doesn't spawn too often and lightnings on the ground are easily avoidable. 8 seconds stun and a bleed might be a bit too much for failing to play the affix and I would cut that to 4 seconds and increase the duration of buff to like 20 seconds.
Brutal affix. Love it.
One season, no seasonal affix please, or just no affixes all together. Just one season, let us have fun for just one season.
Time to update those big “don’t release” weakauras.Also what happened to “we don’t want the seasonal affix to to be too impactful”?And what happens if 2 people with the same mark hit each other?This is still trash pls stop stunning us.
stun=not fun
just add a third that doesn't proc the primal overlord that goes on the 5th, either tank or healer and can dispel the other two. As for the other, don't allow the debuff with less than 3 people within x range. You have 3 people die, they gave to deal with the mechanic. Since only 3 can get it, that only tank or healer one goes on the third making it easy to handle.Something like that
More anti-melee affixes? Awesome!Not.
