New Shielding Mythic Keystone Affix Added on the 10.1 PTR

Recommended Posts

Blizzard has added a new Mythic Keystone Affix called Shielding in this week's Patch 10.1 PTR update.

The WoW team outlined this week's Mythic+ changes on the 10.1 PTR, but the blue post is missing a new affix that surprisingly appeared in the latest build. What do we know about Shielding?

It makes enemies summon orbs that will shield nearby enemies if they're not destroyed.

Shielding Shielding - While in combat, enemies periodically summon Shielding Orbs that shield nearby enemies if not destroyed.

The new affix is currently available for testing on the 10.1 PTR!

Shielding Orbs? better version of Explosive Orbs probably.

I like this a lot, actually. This makes them truly a dps responsibility and the penalty is one the dps will see when the mobs shield. About time more of these affixes get moved away from tanks and healers.

Well technically they should be group affixes, and ppl quit relegating them to one role. I never let healers do explosive alone. The dungeons a group effort as should the affixes be!

Everything will be a healer affix until the timer goes away and "more dps" isn't the answer to everything.. No efficient group will make their dps do a mechanic over the tank or healer.

      Blizzard responded to the "no affixes bug" by temporarily disabling Mythic Dungeons on live servers.
      Mythic Dungeons are unavailable on live servers until the bug is resolved.

      The intro quest for the Revival Catalyst has been enabled on live servers this week.
      The quest should automatically appear in your Quest Log when you log in to the game. Alternatively, you can pick it from Therazal that offers the Aiding the Accord weekly quest.

      However, there are no charges available this week and you still cannot convert Season 1 gear for transmog.

      The Revival Catalyst will be enabled on live servers next week on June 13, allowing players to convert Season 2 eligible gear to Tier Sets.
