Afflicted is a new affix that was just added in World of Warcraft Dragonflight season two to spice up the Mythic+ pool. Replacing one of three removed affixes and a seasonal affix, Afflicted was supposed to give season two Mythic+ dungeons a new spin. Unfortunately, it turned out to be ruining Mythic+ dungeons and players know exactly why.
Frustrated after miserably failing to time Mythic+ keys, players gathered on June 25 to rant about the Afflicted. While some see Afflicted as one of the reasons why healers are quitting and think the DPS classes are way too focused on the DPS charts, others say you should always take responsibility in Mythic+ dungeons and “cover your ass.”
