wow Mythic Season 3 Affix - Beguiling: Everything You Need to Know

[Stan 5,023]

Beguiling is the new Seasonal affix coming in Mythic Season 3 and in this article, we're taking a closer look at how it works.

Affix	Description
Beguiling	Azshara's Emissaries are present throughout the dungeon.

Handmaidens

• As the description indicates, there will be three types of handmaidens present in a variety of pulls in different configurations from week to week, according to Ion Hazzikostas.
• It is important to note that the handmaidens themselves are affected by affixes, remain stationary, and won't chase you.
  • Even though the handmaidens are affected by Bolstering, they won't affect other mobs with Bolster, because they leave the dungeon instead of dying.
• They do not count toward the "Enemy Forces Killed" bar.

1. Emissary of the Tides

This emissary should be handled just like Infested, because she gives all adjacent allies immunity to crowd control effects. She must be CCed and killed last. She will teleport out of the dungeon (Teleport: The Eternal Palace) when she reaches 1 health.

• Queen's Decree: Unstoppable - Grants nearby allies Queen's Decree: Unstoppable.
• Queen's Decree: Unstoppable - The Queen's Decree make all nearby allies immune to all non-damage effects.

2. Enchanted Emissary

This emissary is surrounded by a shield which makes her allies reflect 200% of damage dealt back to you, she can be stunned and attacks will knock her back (Enchanted) with abilities. Enchanted Emissary will teleport out of the dungeon (Teleport: The Eternal Palace) when you deplete all her energy.

• Queen's Decree: Blowback - Reflects 200% of damage dealt back at the target.
• Queen's Decree: Blowback - Grants nearby allies Queen's Decree: Blowback, reflecting 200% of damage dealt back at the target.

3. Void-Touched Emissary

The most powerful handmaiden comes with true sight, so you can't skip her with abilities like Rogue's Shroud of Concealment. She deals nasty Shadow damage every 8 seconds to all enemies in line of sight, which increases with each tick by 50%, so the tank must LoS her, otherwise, she's going to one-shot the group after a few stacks of (Queen's Decree: Hide). She will teleport out of the dungeon at 1 health. 

• Queen's Decree: Hide - Increases Shadow damage dealt by 50%.
• Queen's Decree: Hide - Deals Shadow damage equal to 50% targets' health to enemies in line of sight within a 60 yard radius.

Don't forget to submit your feedback if you've tested the new affix on 8.2 PTR.

Well I guess it's back to the slog. At least Reaping was an actually fun affix.

This affixe is fine too. the true problem with infested was that if you *filtered* up you made the dungeon harder on top of losing more time. Mobs would go back to full HP and you might have 2 or 3 infested in that pack now instead of 1. Any progress you do on the emissaries will remain except for only 1 of them i think.

The point I make is that these mobs are going to slow down the the runs considerably and allow for less frantic play compared to Reaping which once you got use to it was very fun, multi-packs, reaps and even bosses all together.

Reaping is indeed a fun affix, issue is that its abit to easy. When you can you just kill the last boss and then proc the last Reaping, skipping it in the process, or you pull the boss with reaping depending on your classes, maybe a Unholy DK for example. And dungeons such as Tol Dagor you can proc 2-3 reapings on the cannons almost skipping them with just the sheer amount of dmg the cannons do.

Will be fun to see how the Handmaidens turn out, its something different which makes M+ more interesting.

And another reason to never do Shrine of the Storm as DPS or Tank once season 3 goes live. ?
