Priest afflicted question

So checking on wowhead tips for afflicted it says to take improved purify.

im not 100% sure sorry for not doing crazy research but can just normal purify get rid of the afflicted ghosty mobs?

its not make or break for me but just wondering why we need to specefy directly INTO improved purify.

Only Improved Purify can since the debuff on the Ghosts counts as a disease and not magic.

If you’re a Disc priest, if you toss out a Renew on one of them and then use Holy Word life, It should Instantly Heal it to full, Based on how much mastery u have

Oooooh, so that’s why Mass Dispel doesn’t work. Thanks!
