** Dungeon timers are based on the PTR and could be subject to change leading up to Patch launch.What's Changing with Midnight: Season 2 Mythic+?shared their design philosophy

Cone and line abilities received updated precast visuals to better communicate their impact areas. These match the updated look of swirly visuals previously introduced in The War Within expansion.

Creature health pools are increased to place a larger emphasis on target prioritization and damage checks. The intent is to help remove the most immediate pressure away from Tank and Healer players in Mythic+.

Significant pain points of each dungeon in the pool are addressed to help fit overall challenge expectations. This includes resolving roleplay events more quickly, boss mechanic reworks, and more.

Tooltips of enemy mobs in a Mythic+ dungeon display how much they contribute to Enemy Forces count.

Lindormi's GuidanceLindormi's GlowXal'atath's Bargain

Xal'atath's Bargain: Ascendant:
About every minute, Xal'atath summons 10 Orbs of Ascendance that cast Cosmic Ascension. Players can stop the orb casts using their interrupt or CC abilities on them. For every orb cast interrupted, players gain bonus Haste and movement speed for 30 seconds. If the orbs complete their cast, enemy mobs deal more damage and take reduced damage for 20 seconds.

Xal'atath's Bargain: Voidbound:
Xal'atath summons a Void Emissary add that channels Dark Prayer onto nearby enemy mobs. To defeat the Void Emissary, players will need to break its shield using damage spells and abilities. Defeating the Void Emissary grants players increased Versatility and ability cooldown rate for 30 seconds. If the shield is not broken when the cast finishes, enemy mobs deal more damage and take reduced damage for 20 seconds based on the amount of shield remaining.

Xal'atath's Bargain: Pulsar:
Xal'atath manifests Void Pulsar orbs that tether and orbit around all players for 15 seconds. Players must intercept each other's orbs by walking into them before the 15 seconds are up. Each pulsar orb intercepted grants players increased Mastery and Leech for 30 seconds. If the orbs are not intercepted, enemy mobs will deal more damage and take reduced damage for 20 seconds.

Xal'atath's Bargain: Devour
Xal'atath places Devouring Rift shields on all 5 players, slowing their movement speed for 15 seconds. The shield can be removed by healing done or by dispelling it with any dispel (Magic, Poison, Decurse, etc.). Removing a shield buffs the group with Rift Essence, which grants players increased Critical Strike and maximum health for 30 seconds. Failure to remove a shield causes enemy mobs to deal more damage and take reduced damage for 20 seconds.

Note: The shield is not a healing absorb, meaning healing done will count toward removing the debuff while also restoring missing health to the player.

Lindormi's Guidance in Midnight Season 1 Mythic+Lindormi's GuidanceXal'atath's Bargain in Midnight Season 1 Mythic+

Xal'atath's Bargain: Ascendant:
About every minute, Xal'atath will show up and summon a total of 10 Orbs of Ascendance that cast Cosmic Ascension. If the orbs complete their cast, enemy mobs receive a +5% damage done and 10% reduced damage taken buff that lasts 20 seconds. This buff stacks per orb cast completed.
Players can stop the orb casts by interrupting, displacing, crowd controlling, or purging them. Players will receive a 2% movement speed and Haste buff per cast stopped, netting players a maximum of +20% movement speed and Haste that lasts 30 seconds.

Xal'atath's Bargain: Voidbound:
While in combat, Xal'atath summons a Void Emissary to empower nearby enemies with Dark Prayer. If the Emissary is not defeated in time, nearby mobs will receive a buff increasing their damage done and reducing their damage received, based on how much is left of the Emissary's shield when the cast goes off.
Upon defeating the Void Emissary, players will net themselves a +30% ability cooldown rate and +20% Versatility buff that lasts 30 seconds.

Xal'atath's Bargain: Pulsar:
While in combat, Xal'atath manifests pulsar orbs that tether and orbit around players for 15 seconds. Players will want to soak each other's Void Pulsar before the 15 seconds are up.
Each pulsar orb soaked grants all players +4% Mastery and +2% Leech for 30 seconds. If the pulsars are not soaked, enemy mobs will gain a +10% damage buff and 20% damage reduction buff per orb.

Xal'atath's Bargain: Devour
Periodically, Xal'atath will cast a Devouring Rift that puts a shield debuff on all 5 players, which can either be removed by healing done or by dispelling using any dispel type. The shield also puts a 10% movement slow on players.
Removing a shield grants a stack of Rift Essence, which grants players +2% maximum health and +4% Critical Strike that lasts 30 seconds. This effect stacks. Failure to remove a shield will give enemy mobs a +10% damage done and 20% damage reduction buff.

Note: This is not a healing absorb; healing done will count toward removing the debuff while also restoring missing health.

Are you sure you're earning Hero crests from +2s? Usually those drop from +4s to +8s or so with +9 and above providing Myth crests.

Comment by Bowwjack

Please update the article to include that Paladin Blessing of Freedom and Druid Shapeshift also removes the afix debuf and counts as a dispell for the stacks.

Comment by LoveDaddy

Does anyone know how many dawncrests we actually get for +9, 10, 11, 12, 13 etc?
