All the on cooldown basic cleanses should work on all types of debuffs, as long as the core design is to take debuffs of off-core types, such as poison, curses, and diseases, and make them 2 shot their afflictee in mythics.

As a healer, it does feel bad that some classes have an easier time in some dungeons due to what they can cleanse. And often other classes that can take stuff, don’t. Like a mage COULD cleanse curses, but they wont.

I feel like this post is directed specifically toward Grim Batol and the egregious healing absorb curse that the Warlock mobs apply.
Tirna grubs, ara spiders. Tons of poison and curses this season.
It is pretty dumb.
It’d be like if Kick for some classes should work better than others depending on the magic school. Currently some have range, some require melee but they all give the same results. I see no reason why cleanse isn’t the same way because I find it quite baffling Priest can’t remove poison but somehow Paladin can and they draw from the same source of power.
Yeah, there are some situations in which homogenization just makes sense because it’s fair and makes things easier to balance, this is one of them… so is giving everyone a baseline interrupt, not tied to specific pets, talent choices or specs, everyone just gets one no matter what.

I would love a baseline interrupt, if not put it in the tree. It would be better than that crap Shackle Undead
Somehow we still have that talent and I seriously doubt majority of the priests pick that up, maybe fighting a UDK in PvP idk.
Yeah that’s one of those vestigial talents that belongs in classic, not retail.
Cuz that’s the job of a resto druid.
Well, if mythics weren’t designed around the core 1 tank, 1 heal, 3 dps…maybe that would make sense. As it stands, specific healers are just easier to do everything with.
some dps have a sort of cleanse and never use it lmao
I’m usually kind of against homogenization of classes but I do feel healer cleanses should be universal to healers and all classes/specs should have an interrupt they shouldn’t have to spec into. I’d be fine with the dps versions of classes with cleanses still having their limited versions as it makes sense, but I do find it weird that not all healers can cleanse all kinds of non physical effects.
Then every Healer also needs a Purge/Offensive Dispel.
Right now the balance is every Healer can dispel Magic and then get two other dispels including offensive.
Monk/Pally - Poison and Disease
Druid - Curse and Poison
Shaman - Curse and Offensive Dispel
Priest - Disease and Offensive Dispel.
This is why we have magic debuff when they want all healers to dispel. But I wouldn’t say no to a bleed cure :3
