World of Warcraft

Dispel Magic now has a 8 second cooldown. Mana cost decreased to 3%, down from 16%.

lol.. gues im quitting :)

Bye

Fairly certain that it's supposed to remove all magic (de)buffs on the target though, just like all the other Cleanse (Spirit) and Remove Corruption stuff. Blizzard might've just forgotten including that "little" detail in the tooltip. :P

Its only so people make a conscious decision about when to use it to its best effect, not just spamming it whenever and wherever...

PvE fine, but just another example in how blizzard is ignoring pvp with their changes, fire mages will be stupid, well mages in general will kite forever because I cant dispel my team mates, then here comes along the warlock spamming fears on anyone who doesnt have DR that I can only dispel once. Well thats just fine and dandy. NOT.

Its a PvP change you know. Instead of being able to spam dispels all game long you know have to think about it. This is good. I don't even wanna play Shadow with this bad dispelprotection, but with this change I can roll them for abit at least.

What do you know about priest pvp? 48 arena wins, no rbg played

Mmm...that's bad. Will be hard to get used to it.

This is my raidchar for a first. Then I can read as a second.

Will this count for cure disease too?

They better remove thrash buffs from consuming the dispel.

oh cool, this means i can no longer play as offensive as i want to.....


if i wanted to sit back and mindlessly spam heals i would have rolled a holy pally.

Good that I have 5 other 85s to roll with (or more soon)
I might find a better class to play with, dispel is a most useful and life saving spell for priest after PWS maybe. Did Blizzard forget that we are still wearing cloth and can't tank many damage at once. I really hope this change is not permanent, otherwise rolling any other healer might be a better choice actually...

we still got mass dispel with no cooldowns...(?).

ok then, they should remove 2s and add 4s or sth
can't imagine how a melee can ever kill a mage without my dispells X.X

According to the changes a mage will get many changes which include many kiting and surviving abilities as well. I see the expansion will be balanced as ever in the first few months...NOT

Polymorph - no CD.
Spellsteal - no CD.

I don't pvp seriously, but wut?

Well is it Mass Dispel gonna be instant cast? Because if it is, I'm not so worried abot Dispel Magic having 8 sec cd

I remember them saying that they'd like a dispel system in MoP where it's either all or nothing.

Indeed there's a cd on dispel, but tbh if we look in pvp nowadays, shouldn't it be? It's more a battle of dispels than it is to play your class effectively and don't tell me spamming one button on multiple targets nullifying their threat (e.g. damaging debuffs or game-altering buffs) is using your class-toolset wisely.

Sure atm it's wise, because we can. In MoP we cannot and I applaud that.


To all the flamers out there: your dispel will instantly remove ALL debuffs on your target. The trade-off is to protect dot dependant classes, dispel having a cd.
