Spells: dispels being cast too often

[blondeattk]

why have shm mobs suddenly started dispelling all the time? Not something that used to happen.

Why can a dispel land on me when a mob is 20 lvls lower and ALL other spells are resisted.

This is not classic casting behaviour.

whats going on?

I don't think dispel can be resisted anymore - and the same patch that made that so also made npc casters favor casting dispel over pretty much everything.

dispels are beneficial aka unresistable

learn to use clickies

that fair enough on raids, but not in general exp zones.

was in crystal caverns 2 weeks ago and didnt get a single dispell cast on me by the shamans, was tehre for 4hrs + farming velium.

yesterday was tehre 2 hrs and had at least 5 cast on me. same thing at hhk gobs.

this didnt used to happen. It is not correct behaviour for these mobs and should be corrected...its detrimental to mid range exp grps/

Probably another malicious change by heynar to upset the playerbase. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I don't know whether mobs dispelling this frequently is classic. However, in the meantime, it's actually an enjoyable challenge to keep my buffs intact when facing dispelling mobs. Before I played on Red, where opponents often dispel you, I didn't know the value of clickies or junk buffs and I didn't pay attention to my buff order. I now use a spyglass, goblin earring, Bracer of the Hidden, and other clickies, some instant and some with cast times, to protect my buffs. Do most players on Blue do that? Perhaps only on raids? Anyway, it's a satisfying little mini-game to counter dispels with the tools available. If this doesn't get changed soon (or at all), you should embrace the challenge. Don't just sit there and let mobs dispel your SoW and HP buffs...watch for those glowing purple dispel spell particles and hit that spyglass or goblin earring!

You shouldn't be able to resist the spell dispel, but it shouldn't always guarantee a spell is removed. Each dispell has a specific amount of chances at removal.

For example, pillage enchantment has a chance to remove 0 to 4 buffs. It should never be resisted, but may remove 4 buffs, no buffs, or anything in between.
