remove m+ already, if you add things and you keep having to chip away at them bit by bit over time, you probably could just remove it
literally most people just want you to remove m+ at this point and focus on something different

Thank you for speaking for the "most".

Incorporeal can be feared and banished so as a Demo Lock its still 1000% better than explosive.

Comment by Shiyoka

It's amazing to me that they are finding it so hard to make these affixes playable.

This has to be the worst m+ season so far. New affixes/ dungeons, current class tuning and the new upgrade system are literally garbage.

I thought Incorps that are CC'd cannot be broken out of that CC by other party members. If I'm wrong on that, then this will be horrid to deal with. Otherwise, it's a braindead affix now.

Also, both Warrior and DK have a hard CC, but ok.

Better than the explosive maybe but should we really say "wow, the baseball bat blizzard just hit my shin with is actually not as bad and is 1000% better than the giant mechanical saw they just hit my other shin with"? like idk?

Pretty sure intimidating shout would work on Incorporeal. Shockwave, Storm bolt, and Shield charge won't work because they do damage but unless it's charged (or insanely miniscule) shout doesn't.

Who are the most? You?

You don't do mythic +
You probably live in LFR

No one cares about your opinion on this matter

Comment by Baci

Stop speaking as if you're the voice of many. If you don't like it thats on you

Comment by Dessalin214

I wonder if the 20sec ICD for incorporeal is 20 seconds after they despawn? that way they're not spawning one after the other, and didn't they make it so they despawn after trash dies?

i don't think anyone even said this lol, Only people like YOU want it removed. if you don't want to have any part in it. Don't do it lol... Quit QQing, this is a welcomed change and all the people who enjoy m+ will love this change. M+ will be enjoyable no matter the affixes now, so it's actually going to be a fun part of the game now rather than a terribly tuned around affixes that cause cancer to the entire group. Take your nonsensible comment n bounce my guy.

Is it really enjoyable though if it's terribly tuned? it is terribly tuned literally ever patch and every season, everyone constantly complains about every affix because they just aren't fun. Would it not be better to scrap it and just restart?
How is m+ enjoyable for most ppl when most ppl don't even engage with it (probably because it's not fun)

More people engage with m+ than there are people engaging with Raiding and Pvp this season. While the m+ tuning has been poor this season, it is already looking miles better for season 2. Plus i've tested all of the new affixes on PTR, more than once. and Afflicted was the only one that seemed to cause any problems, but that was before the spawn cap was introduced. Incorp is literally nonexistent if you have a druid of any kind with hibernate or a mage. you can literally cc it once and never look at it again. it can't be broken from cc because it's immune to damage. and Afflicted is easily one of the easiest affixes with this new nerf. the only problem it had was with overspawning. Now healers will have 0 problems dealing with them. Yes, while i agree M+ tuning has not been the greatest lately, They are well ahead on this next season and are nerfing and tuning it appropriately. the only dungeon i see causing any real issue or being any kind of cancer is Brackenhide. I've played M+ Since Legion. and i've loved it ever since, besides BFA season one, if any season had terrible tuning, it was that seasonal affix. and a big reason M+ tuning tends to be poor is because they're trying to build it around seasonal affixes. and with there not going to be a seasonal affix. keys will be so much more fun now. especially with the level in which affixes show up in keys now.

AoE CC's do not currently work on them, only single target stuns and CCs, so storm bolt is your only option, and due to their duration and cast time, one storm bolt is too short to deal with an affix mob on its own. Basically only classes with zero CD CC's can really effectivly deal with the affix.

My only question is can you los them xD?

Comment by CornbreadPops

Does control undead not work with dk as well as strangulate? Also can warriors not use fear shout?

Comment by maglariusFW

I hope you are trolling. There is no way someone is that delusional about something.
There are bad takes and there is pure stupidity.

And i dont even like M+.

But M+ is propably the most influential addition to wow since arenas in BC.

And M+ was never horribly bad balanced aswell, there where certain bugs / mechanics that where annoying or hard to deal with ... but that mostly applied to extremly high keys aswell.
You know ... the keys someone like you would never play.

Everything else is / was a joke anyway. And if you think otherwise its not the games fault but your own.
