Spells: Mobs now resisting dispel (also dispel in general)

[Pudge]

mobs resisting dispel now. were up in sky and mobs resisted some dispels. im thinking this might have happened when you guys were fixing the "can't resist DD's with dispel component" bug i heard about (didn't really look into it to know what was supposed to be going on)

---------------
also dispels worked differently than they do here. each buff had "counters' just like poison and disease dots have counters on them. i believe most spells had a counter of 2. but some "stronger" spells had more counters, especially higher level HP buffs. just look at the enchanter line of spells:

level 1: taper enchantment (0 counter x1)---??
level 8: cancel magic (1 counter x1)
level 24: strip enchantment (1 counter x4)
level 29: nullify magic (4 counters x2)
level 44: pillage enchantment (4 counters x4)
level 53: recant magic (9 counters x4)

these dispels specified how many counters they dispelled, which by the power of deductive reasoning, tells us buffs themselves had counters on them (see the spell infos on ala/wiki). currently on p99, any spell can be dispelled by 1 cast of cancel magic

Annul always took 2 regardless of counters. Add that in there.

I was always curious was the difference between strip and pillage was and would ask everyone and even test it. Assumed it was the same as the poison and disease mechanic, but...

Not sure if anyone has evidence or can explain why it would be better to use recant or pillage over strip enchantment.

Actually strip removes 4 also, but it should be less reliable if there were counters.

lul was about to say wut then i saw who was posting

lol heartbrand deleted his post saying,

"u serious or dumb? strip removes one buff, pillage and recant remove 4, pillage has a 3.0 cast time recant has 2.5"

Haha hB Moran.

The question is what is benefit over the high lvl 4 slot dispels over strip(the low lvl 4 buff dispell) I guess if cast time is lower that would be why.

But regarding the counters, no difference it seems.
