its not that hard to fathom. Your top two junk buffs had higher buff counter rolls than the buffs at #3 and 4.

If you are MAX buffed (ie 15 buffs no room for more ), the dot will overwrite a buff and I guess the manner in which it overwrites is affected by the number of buff counters and goes from top to bottom line dispell ( speculating)

thats why Immo breath jumped to #3, and when you tried to dispell it, the dispell got rid of buff #4 because of the aforementioned high buff counter rolls for your first 2 junk slots

just speculating

As stated, I was not bufflocked.

Also why the hell did you have slots 1+2 filled with junk buffs on that fight? If you were intending to Dispell the AE you want those slots empty so it goes in the top?!?!?!?

You guys are assuming I knew what I was doing... never do that. I am sure about what I observed, however. I didn't try to dispel Talendor's AE until after the fight and I clicked off my clicky buffs (grim aura and jboots). The cleric in my group then dispelled it with a single cast of something (unimportant).

However incorrectly, I was thinking I'd get buffs knocked off the top and then refresh the clickies. What appears to have happened is that Talendor's AE stripped my #3 buff and then took its place. A subsequent AE stripped #4 buff and refreshed itself in slot #3 - all while Slots 1 & 2 were occupied by clicky buffs, which always did a great job of being sacrificial lambs in the past (even as far back as classic).

Anyway - this is tangential to the OP and should probably get its own thread if it can be observed again. Please don't discount my observations because my Talendor strat was bad - keep your eyes open next time you kill him.

Thanks!
