The random gods were merciful. Thanks to a special combination of affixes, there were plenty of records in WoW last week.
For those who enjoy tough content in World of Warcraft: Legion but lack the time or desire for mythic raids, the “Mythic+” dungeons are worth a closer look. Depending on the difficulty level, enemies become tougher, and random negative effects known as affixes come into play. The affixes that apply are randomly drawn each week but are valid for all players worldwide.
In the past WoW week (November 15 – 21), the affixes were particularly favorable for professional players. The combination of the following three affixes made for relatively easy dungeons:
- Fortified: Normal enemies have 20% more health and deal 30% more damage.
- Tyrannical: When player characters’ health drops below 90%, they take increasing damage over time until they are healed above 90% of their health.
- Grievous: When normal enemies die, they leave a pool of ichor that heals their allies and damages player characters.
These relatively easy affixes meant that many players tried to break existing records. Because in addition to the affixes, the hit points of the enemies also increase significantly as the level rises, making the necessary time limit eventually unachievable.
As a result, many new records were set last week. In the Soulshrine, the Eye of Azshara, the Court of Stars, and the Cathedral of Eternal Night, the time limit was met on “Mythic+24” and the dungeon was successfully completed! Some of these successful runs can be seen in the videos in this article.
What was your toughest “Mythic+” dungeon that you completed within the time limit?
