Poison cleansing totem to deal with affix?

so I just read that any type of cleanse will remove the Heal absorb of this weeks affix.
I just tried it but I couldn’t tell if it was getting cleansed or if the healer just healed through it…AND it didn’t show up on my meters as a dispel

is this something that just doesn’t show up on meters? I wanted to see how “useful” I was

Unless it was changed from yesterday, yes the PCT does handle the affix.

is there some reason it doesn’t show up as a dispel…because I should’ve had like 50 but my meters only show 5

Haven’t played this week since I’m playing D4 so I don’t know if it shows up correctly or not, but it’s possible other people were just removing them faster? The totem doesn’t remove all of them at once, it just does 1 per pulse while it’s up, so other people may have been removing them before the totem did more than one? :man_shrugging:

I thought that too but PCT doesn’t even show up on the meters…I’m thinking it just doesn’t track it

Doesn’t it not show up on the meters cause it’s technically the totem dispelling not a player? I know it’s your totem but some times that stuff acts weird. Or something…

Me think meter not track totem.

Totem not you. Not show up.

I’ve healed several keys this week, and this affix seems to just break Details addon. Numbers change. almost all dispels of the affix don’t register. Then they do for 1 pull only. Then they reset again.
It breaks Details.

Yes poison totem removes it, it removes one every 1.5 seconds for a total of 4 during its 6 second duration.

Targets aren’t getting flagged as though they have a dispellable debuff, something weird about how it handles the multi-type property makes it match none of them. Which of course also makes it confusing whether someone has been cleansed or not.

Yet again, an affix where the affected person should be the ONLY ONE who can deal with it. Force everyone to cleanse or heal themself, don’t expect the healer to wipe up your boombooms.

and this is why i lol at people that always look at meters and not just play the game.

sometimes they screw up and dont say who did what. hell as a hunter i could hit my despell, but being range you may hit it a split sec later and hit the mob first. if you were able to depell it thats all that should matter

This affix is a very weird one. It’s dispel type is “n/a” according to wowhead. Idk if that’s because it’s a new type that blizzard added or if they encoded it with some sort of “not a number” “null” or “-1” value.

Decursive can’t pick it up because of its not one of its recognized types; it can’t sort it to dispel. I’d imagine that details is having the same problem here.

Give the addon community some time and they will update and fix things.

It is a dispel on a friendly target??? Not an enemy? As a hunter you can remove it from yourself–and only yourself-- with the talent emergency salve, which makes feign death and turtle remove poison and disease.

wasnt just talking about this one, but all types of kicks/dispels. melee classes will always have an “easier” time on it, being there in melee range. if a range is mid/far off then there shot will take a sec or two to hit. so a ranger could be using there kicks the most, but the melee are getting it counted for them caz there closer

its one of the reason i dont like the “hay everyone, i just kicked X and ill spam the chat with thisevery time i do” addon. you kicked an add, congratz, want a cookie? lol

I could be wrong but isn’t there zero travel time on caster kicks? As in its not a projectile it just interrupts things as soon as its pressed like it was teleported into the mobs soul.

So, let me get this straight:
a) you didn’t understand why the OP wanted to see the dispel on their meter… which had nothing to do with kicks (It was for information as to whether or not their dispel was working at all on the affix)
b) you aren’t informed about this effect and its current issues so you went off on some tangent
c) since you didn’t know, you’ve been sitting there with a 53% HP healing absorb waiting for the healer to dispel it from you rather than a tank with a bigger HP pool even though you could dispel it with one global by feigning
d) you decided that risk of the adds getting healed in a M+ was worth it
e) you feel that your position on meters makes you the morally superior one?

Well, I shall not judge you sir/ma’am (even though I am a paladin). I am just a lowly crafter and not a mythic plus person at all. I would like to possibly suggest to you that your healer might be a little bit saddened by your responses. Please be kind to your healer.

I underatand that and also added to it

yea I get that…but meters are a important…I use it more for myself not what others are doing…that’s their responsibility.

It should show important information.

Totems just generally dont track. Poison cleanse removes the affix but it doesnt show as a dispell.

Just like how cap totem or thunderstorm dont track as interupts.

I have not seem my Poison Cleanse Totem remove any affix debuffs in a single pulse and I sat on that thing.

How’s D4. Got the game but launch was so bad I didn’t touch it at all
