Buff-be-gone

Six+ years of pet battles and we STILL have no means of removing buffs from an opposing pet/team.
Why?? o_O

We have abilities like Sniff Out which clear the field of pseudo-buffs. Very cool.
We have abilities like High Fiber which remove our OWN buffs. Insert facepalm
But absolutely nothing in the way of removing strong effects like Aura of Gonk, Dazzling Dance, etc.

We need a pet who can cleanse an opposing team of their buffs or a single pet at the very least to start with.
How is this not a thing yet after creating 1,000 pets?
Playing headgames against a rabbit and removing their dodge effect on the same round they activate it would be magnificent. Just as an example.
Bosses would be immune, yada, yada, yada.
Make it happen, Blizz.

But dodge allows the rabbit to avoid all attacks (except the impact of Sticky Bomb), presumably your buff remover as well.

I’ll just leave this here :wink:

Speechless. haha
Thanks Q!

But the link doesn’t name the new pet(s) that can use it. Any insight on that?

Ravenous Prideling has Disruption. Pet drops from Grand Empress Shek’zeer in Heart of Fear raid, 8.1.5.

It’s the only pet with this type of ability (so far), so it’ll be highly sought after…maybe? IDK.

The kitty pet Purity is a beast pet that can cast disruption too. He comes from trial of purity chest.
