This week's Mythic+ affix is Xal'atath's Bargain: Ascendant, forcing players to use AoE stops to steal Haste buffs from the enemy!
Season 1 Mythic+ Overview
Affix Basics
Each week, a new Xal'atath Bargain's affix will appear on all Mythic+ keystones starting at level 2. Tyrannical and Fortified will alternate between levels 4 and 10, and the Challenger's Peril affix will always been present at 7+.
Xal'atath's Bargain: Ascendant
This week's +2 affix is Xal'atath's Bargain: Ascendant. About every minute in combat, Xal'atath will summon 10 Orbs of Ascendance that cast Cosmic Ascension for 6.5 seconds. If the orbs are successful, all enemies in combat will get a stacking 20% movement speed and Haste. However, players can steal the Haste buff by interrupting or CC'ing the Orbs to gain a stacking 2% Haste and movement speed buff. This buff is party-wide, so work as a team to stop all the Orbs and get that sweet sweet Haste buff. Similar to Raszageth's Orbs, any hard CC, stun, interrupt, blind, knock, disorient, etc. will work on the Orbs.
Make sure to talent into AoE CC abilities such as Disorienting Roar, Thunderstorm. Enjoy the new kiss/curse affixes!
