    • SpitefulSpiteful
      • “Fiends rise from the corpses of non-boss enemies and pursue random players.”
    • InspiringInspiring
      • “Some non-boss enemies have an inspiring presence that strengthens their allies.”
  • The following new affixes can appear starting at Keystone Level 7.
    • StormingStorming
      • “While in combat, enemies periodically summon damaging whirlwinds.”
  • On the Torghast (Max Level) realm, the Keystone Vendor has been updated to offer these new affixes for testing.

Never really had issues with teeming but did have slight issues with skittish during BFA when I was tanking.  Only solution I found to counteract this was switching to Soul Bomb or stick with Gluttony and stack a few pieces of Corruption gear that had Twilight Devastation while telling my team to use a personal cd if needed and to please run to me if they have threat for the mob to be cleaved down with the trash pack.  Some dungeons I would use add priority to keep chain pulling to keep at pace with the timer and group composition. 

But like someone mentioned before these new affixes are recycle forms from Season 3 of Beguiling with the exception of Spiteful being a mini version of Reaping from Season 2.  All in all I'm rather intrigued on how to navigate these in the new dungeons once Season 1 goes live.

Blizzard should just remove "negative" affixes all together, and implement positive buffs to dungeon runs. Torghast shows that it's always more fun to interact and play around with things that make you stronger rather than stand in your way. (Of course they need to buff the scaling on the damage and health by a mile if that would be the case)

Teeming has been the prime example for affixes being annoying, because it's the only one that isn't. For many players (mostly dds) it's seen as a positive affix among all affixes, since you can deal more aoe damage, woohoo ?

Hate to burst your bubble, but there are no "positive" affixes, every time there is, some role that needs to deal it, and DPS so far seem to have it easiest - especially pug ones that are generally only capable of slamming their faces into keyboards, so mostly healers and, on ocassion, tanks have to salvage it.

No tank is madly happy to have a 3rd fortified sea-witch in a pack for TD, dealing with the entire pull past 2nd boss in KR, or healer unable to contribute damage because there are 5 dervishes to deal with in ToS while DPS go about "woohoo".

Well you are just assumimg that with positive affixes, it suddenly means "big pulls all the way", which i would describe as degenerate play. But i mentioned scaling the dungeons waaay higher, so that the mobs stay dangerous. But with positive affixes, the players would be impacted rather than the dungeon mobs, so they can keep them dangerous and the mechanics of mobs themselves would be clearer, and more important.

could make interactive cool new affixes to mix it up a bit ?

M+ affixes aren't there just to increase the difficulty. They also change the way the dungeon plays out. If we didn't have them, the only challenge in M+ would be in season 1 when everyone's learning the dungeons. After that we'd just blast through them in the exact same way for 2 years until next expansion. Granted, you can learn the affix rotation and have a route and tactic for every affix combo but it still adds some variety week in week out.

In any case, be it positive or negative affixes, if they encourage us to explore the dungeons, take different routes, pull different packs of mobs and whatnot, I'm all up for them.

      Executive Producer Holly Longdale teased some upcoming experimental PvE-focused content that Blizzard will soon reveal to the community.
      It appears that Plunderstorm isn't the only new mode Blizzard plans to add to WoW this year.
      Holly Longdale today teased an upcoming PvE-oriented event that will soon be revealed to us. Holly might be talking about the "Timerunning Pandamonium," expected in Patch 10.2.7.

      Greetings Citizens of Azeroth,
      It’s been great seeing so many players taking the plunge into Plunderstorm and we’ve loved seeing all of the stories and feedback as this experimental event evolves. It will be exciting to see some of the community content creators going head-to-head as duos during the Plunderstorm Creator Royale on March 30!  This isn’t the end of the things we want to try in World of Warcraft, however, and we have more in store we can’t wait to show you.
      Dragonflight Season 4 is in route as testing begins on the PTR and we’ll have more news to share soon™ on the next experiment we have up our sleeves. We hope those of you who are looking for PvE focused content will enjoy what we’re planning, all while we continue to press forward on development of our next expansion for World of Warcraft— The War Within.
      We can’t wait to share with you all the many things the team has been hard at work on.
      With gratitude and excitement for what we’ll do together next,
      Holly Longdale
