Blizzard has just announced 4 new affixes in The War Within, and here's some early reactions!
Earlier today, Blizzard announced new affixes and changes to dungeons in The War Within.
While there are some cautiously optimistic reactions, there are also some major concerns from the community. We'll have to see how these play out this Thursday in Mythic+ Testing.
As Yumytv (Growl) points out, this seems to be in line with Blizzard's philosophy on affixes, trying to get different classes to be incentivized from week to week. The previous affixes didn't do this and actually incentivized the meta even more, so this has a chance of doing this with incentivizing certain specs each week. Since specs spend more than 50% of the time not on a week of their choice, I think it's possible that players will feel excited about their week, rather than sad when it's not their week.
Now there is some valid concerns about the damage buffs.
First, it doesn't affect bosses and only on certain mobs, likely making these buffs… relatively small in the grand scheme of things. Does it matter if the caster dies
