Dungeon and Mythic+ Affix Updates in The War Within - July 31

Thank you all for your feedback on our new Mythic+ affix system. As we continue to review community responses for future adjustments, we’ve made updates in this week’s Beta. This week also includes a pass on tank damage intake from many enemies in dungeons.

New Affix

Continuing with the theme of Xal’atath’s Bargain, where players can harness powerful boons granted to dungeon enemies by the Harbinger, we’re adding a new affix to our Beta testing this week.

Xal’atath’s Bargain: Devour

While in combat, Xal’atath tears open rifts that devour the essence of players. The rift unleashes is energy after 15 seconds, healing all enemies in combat. The rift collapses if it is dispelled or players receive enough healing, granting all players critical strike chance and maximum health.

    Yeah it's like afflicted but it goes away from healing your party and not an NPC so if the healer is already healing when it spawns you might not even notice it, just depends how much healing it needs.

    It also doesn't nerf the everliving shit out of your group if it goes off. Like, healing enemies isn't good but it's recoverable. -100% haste or -100% healing leads to a wipe in almost every situation and just feels like shit.

    Wouldn't be surprised if they meant the event. I hear it's not as easy as other events were, and the rewards have too high a cost. I haven't played it out yet, so I'm not sure of the specifics of how the event goes down. Also, mounts and pets are using old models for some stupid-ass reason.

    90 minute cooldown between events plus they are bugged and do not complete,

    theres not much to do either who wants to wait 9 mins for a 5-10 min event this week better to do the event stuff when the wait time between them has ben reduced imo
