Cancel magic vs shadowbond debuff

[Castamere]

I'm sure I'm missing something silly and I swear I've done this before with the previous necro heal over time spells in the line but when I try to cancel magic the top slotted shadowbond debuff it's taking the second buffslot rather than the first. Going crazy here.

Dug deeper. Guess being able to Pell the debuff wasn't ever intended. Was this patched recently?

If by recently you mean ~6-12 months ago, yes.

It was overpowered as shit. It deserved to be fixed, but also made me sad.

[Castamere]

Must have been more recent than that on red

Still works well for me unless I've got a vexing running.

[Bristlebaner]

Still works.

Do you have max (15) buffs running when attemping this? If a debuff overwrites a buff when you have all buff slots filled, the server and client get out sync. On the client the debuff appears in slot 1. Server-side, it appears in slot 16, so it becomes the last thing to be dispelled.

Try keeping slot 1 and 2 open when the debuff lands on you.

For those saying it still works, is it working with only the top slot open? I'll give it a go with two slots.

Nope, didn't have max buffs. First slot empty. Seemed like it would Pell either my second or third slot.

Cancel magic is not reliable. Use Nullify or Annul and keep a clicky up for the extra dispell slot.
