From item levels to armor set buffs and everything in between, professional raiders and PvE players certainly have their hands full keeping everything on their radar.

Mythic Plus Affixes Shadowlands: Full List and Effects
For those unaware, Affixes are modifiers applied to Mythic keystones at set levels. These typically occur in groups and shift every week according to a fixed repeating schedule.
This week, the Mythic+ Affixes are Fortified, Prideful, Volcanic, and Bursting. WOWhead praised this group as "fantastic" for the first week. According to the site, these four "will make it slightly easier to push for the Great Vault cap of Item Level 226 from +14 keystones."
Fortified affects levels 2+ and allows non-boss enemies to have 20% more health as well as deal 30% more damage. It afflicts the effect called "Challenger's Might" which brings the caster's ability to inflict Physical damage to 0%.
Bursting affects levels 4+ and causes slain non-boss enemies to explode, dealing damage to all players for four seconds. This effect can stack and afflicts players with "Burst," inflicting 279 Shadow damage every second.
Volcanic affects levels 7+ and allows enemies to create bouts of flame to erupt under the feet of distant players. It afflicts the effect "Volcanic Plume" which inflicts Fire damage equal to 20% of an individual's maximum health to all players within 2 yards. It also knocks them into the air.
