Effects of the Season 2 Mythic+ Affix: Reaping

PTR Posted 2019/01/09 at 10:26 PM by Squishei

What is Reaping?Every 20%

For example, on the 40% reaping wave, creatures killed between 20% and 40% will resurrect and be the ones you'll have to worry about..

At 80% only mobs killed between 60% and 80% will resurrect.

At 100% only mobs killed between 80% and 100% will resurrect but if the dungeon ends by killing trash count (as in you've defeated all the bosses already), you won't have to deal with the last wave.

Miscellaneous Facts

They do not count towards Trash count.

As these mobs run towards the party, they will NOT aggro any mobs they pass along the way.

They do NOT have true sight. You can be Stealth past or use Shadowmeld to drop combat.

If you wipe or get out of combat with them, they will reset to the location where their mob originally died. However, they then have a gigantic aggro radius.

All alive Reaping adds will also automatically pull on the next Reaping wave.

They are unaffected by Sanguine.

They can be hit by Heavy Cannons in Tol Dagor.

Comment by Spanky2kI like how Blizzard listened to all of the complaints that there is *way* too much trash in the dungeons of BfA and responded by adding an affix that spawns even more.Comment by IshiyoWhen the Risen Soul dies it casts Expel Soul, summoning lots of swirlies.

The tool tip says 10% for 30 seconds.Comment by SquisheiWhen the Risen Soul dies it casts Expel Soul, summoning lots of swirlies. Any player who is hit takes damage, is knocked back and has their damage and healing reduced by 30% for 30 minute.

Comment by AcusiontIt appears that you guys linked the Lost Soul twice instead of the second Lost Soul being a Risen Soul.

Other than that, this definitely looks like it'll be an interesting Affix if I ever get around to picking up my laziness with Mythic+ this xpac.Comment by Lynixai"Lost Soul" is listed twice under the "Which Reaping Mobs Spawn?".Comment by ShryI really like the idea of the bargain option. It is a nice little push for casuals that are pushing for gear, but may not have the gear or skill to finish the dungeon period a little nudge to finish the run. Since it is after the timer, the key will not upgrade, but the gear can still be looted, and people will still need to work, a little meeting in the middle by blizzComment by TwistedMetalThe damage over time from the Risen Soul + grievous sounds horrible.Comment by Zeheve"Lost Soul" is listed twice under the "Which Reaping Mobs Spawn?".Comment by OvahealzLooks more fun than Infested for sure. At least you'll have to be reactive on it and not just CC it.Comment by SquisheiWhen the Risen Soul dies it casts Expel Soul, summoning lots of swirlies.

Comment by MoreMaatiJak hands down has the best wow stream, disagree and I'll see you in Darkshore.Comment by orleadanWhen the Risen Soul dies it casts Expel Soul, summoning lots of swirlies.

Comment by 1238240This post was from a user who has deleted their account.Comment by PalewindI sincerely hope they tune this so it's PUG-friendly at the lower and medium end or they'll chase away a lot of players and the dungeon scene will become quite toxic.Comment by MaizouI'm guessing the Bwonsamdi debuff will just prevent you from bargaining with Bwonsamdi again for 2 hours.

Meant to be a way to let a group that just *barely* isn't making a boss kill to do it, but not meant to be a perma 20% buff.Comment by FelStormI sincerely hope they tune this so it's PUG-friendly at the lower and medium end or they'll chase away a lot of players and the dungeon scene will become quite toxic.Comment by RoguePostDocThe damage over time from the Risen Soul + grievous sounds horrible.Comment by 1238240This post was from a user who has deleted their account.Comment by Luck4This is going to be worse than Infested. =(
