Not a fan of this week's affix (self.wow)

I didn't mind it last time we had this one because I was still doing baby dunfeons but boy do I hate it now. Ran a couple keys last night and the affix fucked us at least once per run. Besides the obvious bugs like orbs getting stuck in unreachable locations (on the ship in dawnbreaker, between the walkways in grim batol), we also had orbs spawn during Speaker Dorlita's Blazing Crescendo in Stonevault both times we ran it.

I thought last week's was the worst because the add spawned at the end of so many fights but I think I hate this one more.

Definitely agree. The orbs are very unpredictable in their pathing most of the time and the overlap with frontals or big area denying AoE makes it super not fun.

Honestly with their dungeon difficulty ramping like it is, I’m not sure we need “affixes” like this anymore? Anytime I get killed by them the feeling is never “oh I could’ve played that better” it’s always “well that overlap was impossible to avoid, guess we just hope it doesn’t happen again in the future”

I like them when they're an achievable challenge but it's such a buzzkill when they bug out like that. We managed to survive the second run because we were prepared but it caused a wipe the first time it happened in SV. I don't think last week's killed any keys for us but it definitely messed up our flow when it spawned at weird times

Thankfully this is the last week we're running 11s for score, I guess.
