I read that thread before I made this post to see if I could figure out how the system is supposed to work.
I reset my buffs with either a death or clicking off every buff and zoning to begin the rebuff. I tried to keep the same buff order through the grind session.
1. Spirit of Wolf
2. Lich
3. Shadow Sight
4. Spirit Armor
5. Resist Poison
6. Resist Magic
7. Dead Man Floating
8. Arch Shielding
9. Skin Like Nature
10. Regrowth
Testing on the guards in Felwithe who will chain cast dispel. I'm not sure if it's Cancel Magic or Nullify - but for the purpose of this test and these results it is irrelevant.
Through several nights of grinding I haven't had SoW or Lich dispelled a single time. Not once - and they are my first 2 buffs always! I set it like this so I could replace with jboots and my Allure of Death clicky when I got dispelled.
That never happened though. Instead, dispel would typically land on me 2-4 times in a row without losing any buffs then I would lose either Skin or Arch Shielding. Occasionally I would lose DMF, but it was almost always Skin or Arch Shielding lost first. After one of those was dispelled I might lose Shadow Sight or Spirit Armor before I had a chance to rebuff. Resist Poison/Magic was almost never dispelled.
I read how dispel is "intended" to work... but it certainly does not work that way. I do not remember dispel working like this during this time period on live. I do not remember experiencing dispel working like this on any other box. Something is broken. My Skin/Arch Shielding/DMF/Regrowth should not be getting dispelled before SoW/Jboots/Shadow Sight/ResistX every single time.
