Affixes, Routing & Pulling
Two things decide whether a key is timed: your route and how you pull it. Both are learnable.
8 min read
Affixes
- Affixes are weekly modifiers that change how you play - read them before you start.
- Some punish standing still, some spawn extra effects, some empower enemies - plan around them.
- Higher keys stack more affixes; know what each one asks of you.
Routing
- Plan which packs to pull and which to skip to hit the required enemy percentage efficiently.
- Use a route addon to visualize pulls and count percentage.
- Pull toward the next objective so you are never backtracking.
Pulling well
- Bigger pulls save time but need cooldowns, crowd control, and a ready healer - communicate.
- Line-of-sight enemies to group them, and use crowd control to soften big pulls.
- Never pull more than the group can handle - a wipe costs far more than a small pull.
Key takeaways
- Read the week's affixes and plan for them.
- Route to hit the enemy percentage without backtracking.
- Pull big only with cooldowns, CC, and a ready healer.
