Ok evidence please?

Your memory you say? Like I said , I have memory of higher level dispels occasionally skipping a buff in the first two slots and knocking out a buff further down the line.

Someone else in this thread said they have memory of cancel magic being very unreliable in taking down high level spells like Winged Death.

My evidence beyond memory? (which is important in this forum section)

I witnessed a higher level dispel doing just that, skipping one of my first two buffs and knocking out a buff farther down the line on Al'kabor. And I have yet to see anywhere that dispel strenghts and how they interact with buffs changing between 1999 and 2002.

I also see that there are several enchanter spells that remove the same number of buff slots. Why do they exist unless the strength of the higher level dispels is important.

I know you guys really want pumice to be a 100 percent sure thing each and every time, but my memory, my research, and the collaborating data does not support 100 percent reliable behavior with dispels.

They added dispells in game that would hop around in your buff order. I believe a ranger had a spell like that and i think there was a potion that did it.

I attributed the reason ench got a spell like pillage and recant was

1) recant has a faster cast time than pillage
2) the recast is on both spells are 5 sec but the global cool down for your spell bar is 3.5 sec. Having both dispells up allows you dispell buffs faster.
