Long time off and on player here. I’m currently on a wow binge and was thinking of how I can improve this time around and it occurred to me: I really have no idea what to dispel
I’m not talking about mass dispel abilities. I think I have those down (although I’m all ears if anyone has tips for those). I’m talking about regular dispel magic abilities.
For example, before I burst, I’ll dispel a target to clean up hots / shields etc, but Im pretty much just spamming it and hoping for the best.
Another example: someone told be to dispel dragons after they do their tunnel thing. You get rid of some buff that they pick up after the tunnel thing. So I spam dispel magic, but I don’t know what the icon looks like or what the buff does.
So my question is, I was wondering if any kind player who has a little time on their hands could kindly write out a list of buffs that must be dispelled. You wouldn’t even have to tell me what the buffs do, I can research them myself
But if I had a list to go through, I could read about each ability and maybe set up a tmw tracker, so I’m not mindlessly wasting a gcd on a buff that’s really not that important.
I would appreciate anyone who would take the time to write out a list. Thanks so much

Bop(With melee/demo)
Freedom(Situational)
Lifebloom(No Adaptive Swarm Present)
Basically Lifebloom without trash buffs covered it. IE) Tree Wild growth or Wild growth from overgrowth
Enveloping Mist(Fresh cast)
Renewing Mist(Tea or fresh cast)
Dream Breath HoT(Unless it was from a tip the scales cast)
Dream Projection HoT
Alter Time
Temporal Shield
Barriers(Situational)
Earth shield
Spiritwalker’s Grace(situational)
You can literally just make a Weakaura that will check conditionals and tell you when to purge.

This list is awesome. Thank you. I’ve never really gotten into WA, I’ve always used tmw. Is there a specific add on for my question, or do I have to download the whole pack and adjust it ?

This is my list for what I want to dispel on the enemy. Some arent very important to dispel but may be good to remove depending on the situation in my opinion. A few may have been removed in Dragonflight its hard to keep up on all the changes.
Thorns
Blessing of Protection
Innervate
Blessing of Freedom
Divine Favor
Nether Ward
Holy Ward
Temporal Shield
Renewing Mist
Ghost Wolf
Ice Barrier
Prismatic Barrier
Blazing Barrier
Enveloping Mist- I think this actually hurts mistweaver alot when this buff isnt up.
Renew
Prayer of Mending
Bloodlust
Heroism
Power Infusion
Riptide
Alter Time
Mend Pet
Nature’s Swiftness
Predatory Swiftness
Ice Form
Spiritwalker’s Grace
Tip the Scales
Focused Growth - I try and purge this at 3 stacks. The buff goes away when you purge Lifebloom
Glimmer of Light
Adaptive Swarm- I track this to know when not to dispel because it puts up 3 stacks and it wastes your time since you can only remove one stack at a time.
Blistering Scales
Earth Shield
Blessing of Sanctuary- Sometimes I will purge this to get a full fear instead of waiting or getting half duration
Soul of the Forest
Nullifying Shroud
367364 Reversion- I track only the stronger version with spell ID
374349 Renewing Blaze- I prefer to track this version of the buff that I believe actually heals. the buff will go off for a moment then reapply anyways during the defensive but it deletes the hot thats built up when purged
Dream Projection
Mass Dispel-
Blessing of Spellwarding
Ice Block
Divine Shield
the frost mage wall that removes line of sight
I use a Weakaura to track these on the enemy nameplates.
What a thorough list. Thank you. I have another question about dispels. Say a dps has a dispellable hot on him, then his healer throws thorns on him. If I press dispel, does it remove everything that can be dispelled, or oldest / newest first?
Dispel will just remove a random buff. Its only good to dispel a couple times then go back to healing most of the time even if you dont dispel what you wanted.
