World of Warcraft: Dragonflight Mythic Season 2 Unveils Challenging New Affixes

Mythic Keystone dungeons are getting an overhaul in Season 2 of Dragonflight, and one of the major changes involves the introduction of new affixes to the weekly rotation in World of Warcraft. Affixes have always been a hotly debated aspect of the Mythic dungeon experience, as many players find certain affixes to detract from their fun when doing Keystones instead of providing a challenge.

Patch 10.1 of Dragonflight introduces a new zone for the players to explore, and those preparing for Mythic Keystones in Season 2 will be able to make use of the new gearing system in Zaralek Cavern to get their alts up to speed. With the loss of seasonal affixes, and the removal of a few affixes such as Volcanic, Grievous, and Quaking, the developers have made room for new ones to fill the void.

On the other hand, the Afflicted affix causes spirits to appear near the group in need of aid. Failure to heal or cleanse
