Cancel magic change?

[Grimjaw]

dispels had a crazy life line, on live they were switched from detrimental to beneficial, and back and forth, requiring special rules to cast only on group members (and even more rules for pvp), but also cause a mob to agro when casted on them. but bottom line is they should never be resisted.

[Daldaen]

All dispells were unresistable. They were considered beneficial spells I think?

It's one reason why Phinigel on this server is non-classic. You can resist his Dispell proc.

Ya I'd love to see a classic-Velious log of resisting anything from the dispel line

Don't think I ever found one

I fixed some code that did resist checks on dispells. That might fix his proc.

He Procs Nullify magic. So if you fixed that, you're set.

[Haynar]

There are no more resist checks on pure dispells. So yep, he should be diff after patch.

No dispellable spell has more than 8 counters.

No spell has more than 6 effect slots in classic/kunark/velious spdats.

There are counters
And there are slots.

Counters means all spells get a 1-8 roll on how 'powerful' the spell is.
Slots determines how many pass through your buff bar they make.

Example:

Grim Aura (1)
Spirit of the Wolf (4)
Skin Like Nature (8)
Chloroplast (6)

If Cancel Magic is cast, it has 1 slot and will roll a dice on whether to remove between 1 and 4 counters.

In the above situation, it will immediately remove Grim Aura.

If Nullify Magic is cast, it has 2 slots and will roll a dice on whether to remove between 1 and 4 counters on each.

Slot 1 will immediately remove Grim Aura (regardless of the roll since clickies should be 1 counter)
Slot 2 will roll dice between 1-4 (let say it rolls a 4)

End buff configuration:


--Grim Aura removed by Slot 1 dispell (roll irrelevant)--
--Spirit of the Wolf removed by Slot 2 dispell (rolled 4... any lower roll would not have removed)--
Skin Like Nature (8)
Chloroplast (6)

No shit, genius.

The last we heard he was basing the #/str of counters on the number of effect slots used by the spell.

Say buff 1 has 3 effects, we assign it 3 counters with a strength of 3.
Buff 2 has 4 effects, 4 counters, strenth 4
Buff 3 has 1 effect, 1 strength.
