Corrupted is the Season 4 Mythic+ Affix in Patch 8.3 Visions of N'zoth

posted 2019/10/09 at 7:22 AM by Squishei

Quotedevelopment previewWith this Corrupted Affix active, when you go into a dungeon in Season 4, you'll see occasional Black Empire obelisks dotting the landscape. Interacting with one of these obelisks will pull you into an alternate world, where we see N'zoth's power ascendant and a powerful lieutenant of his stands guard. Defeating that lieutenant will return you to your regular reality, but will do so in whatever location you're currently standing when that miniboss is defeated. This will enable some interesting skips that don't involve Shroud of Concealment or Invisibility. Now of course, if you keep these minions alive and you decide to ignore them entirely, they may come and pay you a visit as you're fighting the final boss of the dungeon, so you'll want to strategize very carefully as you approach dungeons with the Corrupted affix in play during BFA Season 4.AnalysisShadowmeld

Small Scarab adds will spawn and detonate with a green circle.

The boss casts some green, possibly venom ability.

Comment by MaXiiczekLooks fun and opens new ways how to run the dungeon, so I guess it will be good :) it will be actually first affix which can provide some advantage (skips) when used properly instead of just slowing you down :)Comment by jcolemanDoes Wowhead need a proofreader/editor? I could help...Comment by LolusIon mentioned that the lieutenants left alive will join the final boss fight.Comment by juressSome errors - first line
This Corrupted Affix will allows players to make some interesting skips with* the need for a rogue or invisibility.This will enable some interesting skips that don't involve some interesting skips that don't involve* Shroud of Concealment or Invisibility.Comment by RevengeVThis seems significantly more interesting and less obnoxious to deal with then the current Beguiling affix.

Hopping around trying to figure out which piece of world geometry counts as LoS to avoid the Void explosion or having the healer poke the Arcane lady back with Lighting Bolt occasionally doesn't really feel like it changes the strategy much for this current season.

I wonder though if the portal locations in each dungeon to start out with will be static or if they will change each week?Comment by SangfoudreA perk I see is that we won't need rogues as much as in S3.
I approve.Comment by FixiIf it can dilute the top runs from using 2 or 3 rogues, then I'm all for it.

I'm still wondering why they can't analyze this themselves and figure out that "exceptionally hard" packs are going to be skipped and they should just balance it better... Like the pack of 1 dwarf in TD vs the pack before the vomit boss in Atal... /balanced /haha

How would I solve it? Reduce overall trash so you have to do those hard packs to make percent (so probably reduce overall trash 40%) - so keep the difficulty but reduce the slog. Think "Maw of Souls" bois, that was more fun than every dungeon in BfA. M+ should all be 20-25 minutes for most runs.Comment by Paladinmaster44It is nice to look at the site and not see 10 classic posts in a row...

New affix looks fun as heck. Especially to avoid some mobs but wonder how much miniboss will add to completeion % to offset the skip?Comment by bigityIt is nice to look at the site and not see 10 classic posts in a row...

A keystone affix that allows you to skip trash easily, and, use the portal again whenever you use the obelisk any subsequent times.

Isn't the whole point of an affix to make it harder? Not sure what they were thinking.Comment by Ironyman(crab) Rogues are gone! (crab)Comment by darksidediiican't wait to test this! it really looks interestingComment by FlesHBoXI have to wonder if this will just end up being a non-affix for groups who have a rogue or use invis pots. Is there any reason to do the mini bosses other than skips (which presumably reduce trash % you end up with).

I suppose that with the trash coming to the last boss could make timing a bit easier and less prone to going drastically over on trah, but it's a risky proposition to skip a ton of trash, only to have it come back and murder you on the last boss.

Interested in seeing exactly how this works.Comment by FixiI suppose that with the trash coming to the last boss could make timing a bit easier and less prone to going drastically over on trah, but it's a risky proposition to skip a ton of trash, only to have it come back and murder you on the last boss.
