Make up new Affixes

[Felfaadaern Darkterror]

All of us who enjoy M+ are looking forward to new affixes in BfA, right? But coming up with new affixes that are challenging and interesting and balanced must be a challenge in itself. So let's help! Anyone got ideas for new affixes they think would be good for the game?

[Hey There Guys its Metro]

I'd like to see one where you can only see so many yards in front of you. They have used this mechanic a few times in raid encounters this expansion.
It would probably quickly get frustrating though.

Pantsed: when hit by an enemy there is a chance they remove your pants

Oh noes! You can kill me, but don't mess with my mog!

Yeah, give warrior tanks a combat ress ability and make legendary bracer heal effect a baseline. That would add balance to the power.

Freezing: Every second while standing still, you gain 1 stack of Freezing Blood, slowing movement speed by 10%. Upon reaching 10 stacks, you're stunned for 3 seconds. Moving removes a stack of Freezing Blood.

Basically, keep moving or you freeze. it's kind of like the final boss of The Nexus.

How is that a M+ affix?

Observant: Non boss mobs have a chance to aggro to you which increases when they can see you and/or hear you and the longer they can do either.

I like it! Except it would be hardly noticeable for some classes like BM hunter, and crippling for others like priest.

So - basically no ranged allowed.

"But I always outdeal them": have a random LFR-player assigned to your group

I like anything that improves NPC AIs. How about Active: All mobs in dungeon are patrolling and may not be where you are used to finding them.

To me - it just seems silly that I can sit 30yds from a few NPCs eating, chatting and even attacking other NPCs - yet they just don't notice

timeout,- at random every 15-30 seconds a player is put in timeout for 10 seconds,this player can not cast/act/or do anything for the 10 seconds they are in timeout (Targets Tanks/Healers/DPS, but cant target same twice after each other. so it could go tank healer tank healer, or just cycle dps).

I've commented more than once that bosses are so patient, allowing us to eat and set up raid markers and discuss strategy for how to kill them... and still they wait for us to take the first shot!

kind of like active,

could also have,

Backup: at 25% health mobs have a 50% chance to instant cast backup, this will pull a random mob within 100yards of it. this could pull 1 whole trash pack, or you could have 2 mobs pull 2 random trash packs.

Perception: bosses/mobs have a chance to randomly increase there aggro range 10fold.

So just rng wipes on highkeys if it targets your heal during aoe or the tank right after the pull?

I like Perception! Would force us to be careful as we path through dungeon. Although I wouldn't want to try Seat of the Triumvirate with that affix. :P

[gushDH]

Similar to Taran Zhu (last boss from Shado-Pan Monastery):

Hatred: When taking damage you fill up a bar. You can use an extra ability to reduce that bar. At 100%, you are 99% less effective.

The extra ability has a cooldown which would make this difficult to manage.


Generally, it seems that there are some good ideas which we can take from bosses.

would be fun nonetheless 10 seconds isnt long for most tanks, if they pop cds.

Idk what level mythic you are doing but in anything remotely high level, the tank or the healer vanishing for 10 secs would mean a wipe.
