Blizzard has admitted in the past that dispel affixes such as Afflicted are problematic in World of Warcraft. And yet again we see exactly the same idea for an affix in Season 1 of The War Within. It’s even worse that there is an option to heal through it now although the absorb shield amount is insane. However, since the option is there, it’s now not a dispel affix but rather a healer problem. No lessons learned from Afflicted!?

As main dps shaman I always have Poison totem on that week. It is mandatory to use utility on keys otherwise the healer/tank are always to blame
3rd boss in COT + this affix . And nobody use healing potion or cleanse …
No way this is worse than bolstering or sanguine, wild take
The only time I don't mind it, is when 3 out of 5 or more can dispel themselves and they actually do. When that doesn't happen, oh it's a pain in the arse when you are in higher keys. Hell even in lower keys if you are just starting out, your healing isn't strong enough to deal with it quick. The affix itself isn't horrible, it is when you have everything else going on and this thing pops up and of course in a pug not everyone knows or cares to dispel themselves.
