XAL'ATATH M+ AFFIXES EXPLAINED | The War Within Season 1

[@wars5568]

From my testing it seems like the oblivion affix is indeed damage increase (as indicated in the tooltip), not damage reduction - tested on some random boralus trash.

[@Tactyks]

Interesting, I wonder if it's a mistake or they just decided to go back to it being a damage increase.

[@JevyJ]

I did an 11 siege and the 3rd boss got like 6 orbs. He did the stomp that brings out the pools that blast for aoe and nobody took more damage than regular.

[@fxfighter]

@@JevyJ I did a 10 ara kara and 2nd boss got some orbs then his infestation was ticking for 1 mil per tick instead of 700k~ I noticed the same thing on 3rd boss of siege that the pools damage doesn't seem to change for whatever reason with orbs.

[@JevyJ]

@@fxfighter small indie company I guess no idea wtf is going on then

[@helleye4745]

Ret pally blinding light is GREAT for orbs

[@Tactyks]

Yup, any uncapped AoE CC really does wonders!

[@JMartinDA]

Any tips for +8 and higher Grim Batol for Brewmaster monks? Its too much magic damage, especially on the last 2 pulls with the faceless ones before the bos.

[@Tactyks]

My biggest tips for all tanks on those last packs of Grim Batol is to respect those little guys with the Faceless Ones. They may not have a lot of health, but they melee like a regular mob, so you need to have defensives prepped as if you're about to tank 10+ mobs in a pull. Using slows and moving around in a circle can also help, as this prevents them all from meleeing you at the same time, smoothing out your damage intake until your group is able to kill them all.

@@Tactyks Also an aug in the group helps a lot. And a healer on redbull ;)

It’s sweaty there bro I feel ur pain

[@max022251]

As I healer I pull those mobs before the tank can run in there and get one shot. I then mass entangle shadowmeld. And start pumping heals

[@peterpain6625]

@@max022251 that's a fancy way of doing it. i'll always go in there with survival instincts + barkskin + incarn and pray the healer is awake :D

[@rockstar6goalkeeper]

How do I handle the affix of going down to the Kraken in Boralus and getting -45 because three people die to the puddles getting there xD

[@Tactyks]

That's a "hope blizzard fixes this before the next round" angle for sure :P

[@peterpain6625]

@@Tactyks Nah. It's not the "old drums" or anything but something the intern can't do while the rest of the team is on shrooms. It'll take a while ;)

[@igamingpublic]

devour affix. what does paladin uses for dispell?

[@Tactyks]

Just the regular cleanse will remove an instance of it, I don't believe paladin has additional ways of removing it outside of the occasional lay on hands though.

[@Duriel92]

Is there any place where I can see your prot warrior talent tree ? thanks

can you share your Plater Link

[@Tactyks]

Yeah you can grab it here: wago.io/NaAT_LAIh

[@tommienholm3844]

did a +3 key and with adds /voibound it seamed almoste unplayable

[@Tactyks]

Yeah they've been messing with the affix today, they upped the CDR and healing but also briefly more than doubled it's HP. As of this post though the HP was reverted back to the original value but the bonuses remained increased!
