Thundering Mythic+ Hotfixes on Dragonflight Beta - 5% More Health on Enemies, 30% Damage Buff to Players

Dragonflight Posted 2022/10/28 at 3:16 PM by Squishei

Enemies have 5% more health in a Thundering keystone.

Mark of Wind and Mark of Lightning now grant 30% increased damage (was 15%)

Stun duration increased to 5 secs (was 4 secs)

Damage of Primal Overload per tick increased by 28.5%

Thundering - Enemies have 5% more health. While in combat, players are periodically overcharged with primal power from Raszageth's unending storm. This power comes with great risk, and failure to discharge it quickly can have stunning consequences.
Primal Overload - Raszageth marks players with Mark of Wind or Mark of Lightning, granting them 1530% increased damage and healing done for 15 sec. Coming into contact with the opposing mark neutralizes the effect on both players. After 15 sec marked players are afflicted with Primal Overload, stunning them and inflicting 79 Nature damage every 1 sec for 45 sec.
Mark of Wind - Overloads a player with primal power, increasing their damage and healing by 15%30% for 15 sec. Upon expiration, stuns the player and inflicts 79 Nature damage every 1 sec for 45 sec. Coming into contact with a Mark of Lightning removes this effect.

Comment by Dasron5% health is like nothing...lol. most packs dies super super quick... this will literally not feel noticeable!Comment by sikhjatt23but why the hp buff? to force ppl to maximize their usage of the buff or something?Comment by Frawtarius5% health is like nothing...lol. most packs dies super super quick... this will literally not feel noticeable!Comment by ProCe3d5% health is like nothing...lol. most packs dies super super quick... this will literally not feel noticeable!Comment by dankmaymay885% health is like nothing...lol. most packs dies super super quick... this will literally not feel noticeable!Comment by baseboneok, so that's worseComment by JuniperDPSWon't this change just make fortified weeks feel worse?Comment by VSozonovLike I said, I like the idea of them rewarding players who play the affix properly but I'll wait to test things myself tomorrow to see how these changes feel. If it's just 5% flat health increase for 15 sec every couple of min I don't think that will be a big deal, especially with 30% dmg buff when played properly.Comment by QwagsoirWon't this change just make fortified weeks feel worse?Comment by 2406856It is what it is for this season it seems...
I was hopeful a few weeks ago that they will scrap it while they can and introduce something more exciting, but I doubt they will now. Too late for that sadly.

Looks like first seasons are destined to have less likable seasonal affixes.

Infested, prideful and now thundering joins the party too...Comment by TOMRUSStop wasting time on this garbage affix. Delete it already.Comment by hazmaxedBased on the wording, I think the 5% HP increase applies to all enemies in a Thundering keystone for the entire duration of the dungeon.

ok, so that's worseComment by GameHunterThe affix is solid enough. Don't wanna be toxic, but people who barely do 15s should not give their weak opinions so blutnly.Comment by LeucienWeavrReward players for handling the mechanic, don't punish people for handling it early. Make it so that colliding with a similar mark causes a stun to prevent pre-emptive stacking, give 10 seconds to meet your opposite marks, let one player be able to volunteer to be the odd one out (Usually tank or healer for the sake of stationary needs) to let their debuff expire, and give the 30% damage buff upon proper dispel. As it stands there will be a need to milk the debuff and risk pain instead of handling the mechanic and being rewarded for it.Comment by LemistioRemove the stun so it's actually playable, no one wants thatComment by KolplerFerri5% health is like nothing...lol. most packs dies super super quick... this will literally not feel noticeable!Remove the stun so it's actually playable, no one wants thatComment by BeaceWhy are people complaining so much about the stun? Is it that hard to pair up with another player to avoid the stun?Comment by KerathrasIt's painfully obvious Blizzard has no #$%^in' idea what to do with this affix, but it's too late to come up with a new one, I guess...? Small indie company, after all.Comment by Seniaa5% health is like nothing...lol. most packs dies super super quick... this will literally not feel noticeable!Comment by F1rstAssau1t5% health is like nothing...lol. most packs dies super super quick... this will literally not feel noticeable!
