New Affix: Xal’atath’s Bargain: Devour

In the latest update for the Mythic+ affix system in World of Warcraft's The War Within Beta, several changes and additions have been made. The developers have taken into account community feedback and made adjustments accordingly.

New Affix: Xal’atath’s Bargain: Devour

As part of the ongoing theme of Xal’atath’s Bargain, a new affix called "Devour" has been introduced in the Beta testing. During combat, Xal’atath tears open rifts that devour the essence of players. After 15 seconds, the rift unleashes its energy, healing all enemies in combat. The rift can be dispelled or collapsed if players receive enough healing, granting all players critical strike chance and maximum health
