Does anyone know what all the "negative status effects" that purify clears are? I know that will remove a fire DOT.
That's a good point! I thought it would remove confusion (chaos, mushrooms) and mesmerize effects (moon/sun). I would be happy if the effects would be shown by clicking <ctrl> like we can do it on crafted stuff with mouse over @Chris, a chance for something like that? Or may be at least a kind of "counterpart skill" sign for each spell? For example: Confusion Skill Mouse over tells the effect It would be great, if the counterpart skill would be shown. So we always would know, how to defeat an effect. Thechance factor could be told, for example: int >= int of caster: chance for removing the buff 100%, int < int of caster: chance for removing the buff 50%
From what I've heard it is going to be modified soon. It was, from what I heard, never intended to remove all DoT's. I think it currently removes all debuffs, Poison's, Fire Damge,etc., but again, this is supposed to be fixed, so I wouldn't get used to it.
I think the only DOT it's supposed to remove is bleeding. And yeah, it removes confusion as well (thanks @Paladin Michael). I don't know if it removes mesmerize but I know that it won't remove a stun.
It removes fire dots, torpid torment, confusion, but doesn't dispel bleeding or poisons, neither mezmerize, you can dispel bleedings with healing grace.
If it helped with confusion, and the recast feature worked, I'd switch specs in a hot second. I've made my share of complaints in these forums, but there is nothing that makes me want to drive down to Austin and beat the devs senseless more than confusion. If "remove confusion from the game" became an episode 2 stretchgoal, I would get a second job in order to single-handedly make sure it gets funded. Sorry for the derail.
In the tool-tip for Purify says: Life Specilization will add a duration to Purify recasting every 3 seconds for some amount of time to recleanse effects. I'm guessing that the time that is referred to as some amount of time is probably dependant on how long the Spell Duration is. So, if your spell lasts 3mins, it will recleanse every 3secs until that 3mins is up.
Are you sure about that? Have you tested it? I wouldn't have questions about it if it's effects were all listed in the tooltip like most other skills.
I'd still like to know what "negative effects" it removes and how long the recast feature lasts. Maybe @Chris can help here... please?
As I said, it is listed in the tool-tip @Barugon . I no longer have Life as a specialization, so I can't test it any longer. Maybe someone else can confirm that the skill works as intended. From what I've heard Purify is going to only remove 1 effect at a time, and wasn't intended to remove multiple debuffs/DoT's. The reason Fire DoT's are getting removed is because it performs the same function as Douse or the Water Buckets.
"For some amount if time" doesn't tell me much. The duration could be 15 minutes or it could be 3 seconds. Thanks anyway though.
Yah, I agree. It is vague. Isn't there anyone out there who can test this for us? Regardless, as I said, the skill is supposed to be changed, so it may not work the way it currently does anyway.
