Comment by BlastaaYou mean to tell me they actually provided a beneficial spell for players to an affix? I'll be damned.Comment by PyramysThey're really phoning it in with this "pride" theme. At least the mechanic looks like it can provide some interesting strategies, especially if you combo it with some of the Covenant Dungeon bonuses like the spear of destiny on Spires of Ascension.Comment by DrumsticksThis looks like a fantastic seasonal affix. Choosing when to get the manifestation, when to kill it, and how to use the buff sounds like it could open up tons of options!Comment by RushzYou mean to tell me they actually provided a beneficial spell for players to an affix?

This affix is the same way. Choosing when the pop the Manifestation and take the buff can be game-changing, but requires the tank to path very carefully and have a very advanced knowledge of the dungeon. For this reason, we will likely see a huge shortage of tanks as we saw through pretty much all of 8.3
