Psalm of Purity/Vitality are too strong

[Lazortag]

So I haven't actually tried this, but I've heard that using psalm of purity/vitality removes all poison and disease counters respectively, when they never removed more than 1 counter:

http://crys.org/everquest/spells/bardsongs.asp?minrank=25&maxrank=49

29 Psalm of Vitality Increase group AC (4-6), Disease Resist (39-70), cure disease (remove 1 disease counter)

37 Psalm of Purity Increase group AC (4-6), Poison Resist (47-70), cure poison effects (remove 1 poison counter)

I was told a while ago that Psalm of Purity can completely remove the poison from Trak's AE (which it absolutely shouldn't), and I was told recently that Psalm of Vitality can remove all the disease counters from Bazzt Zzzt's ae, so I assumed the former bug hadn't been fixed.

I'm pretty sure the Psalms aren't removing all counters per cast. When removing DoTs and slows in Seb, it often takes a few casts per debuff before I get the "cured" message.

I'm guessing Trak's AE, while very damaging, is currently only a 1 counter debuff, as it is removed with a single Psalm of Purity cast. I don't have any remembrance if this is classic or not. I seem to remember people using bards to cure diseases for the fight back then, but I can't quite recall with certainty.

Removed cure components of Psalm of Purity/Vitality, pending update.

[Lazortag]

they should still remove 1 counter shouldn't they?

No, the cure portions were broken entirely through late 2002ish. When it was fixed, it was the large counter removal that we've seen here.
