Shadowbond no longer able to be dispelled on June 5, 2002.

Using the Trilogy client it was not possible to click off beneficial buffs from yourself that were cast by others.

While it could have been possible to dispel the icon from yourself, you would have still been forced to take the DoT if the icon was still on the target.

It was only one spell back then, there was no recourse.

Shadowbond showed up as "Shadowbond" on the buff bar for both the caster and the target.

In order to nullify the negative portion of the spell, both effects had to be removed.

This... is wrong. It just applied the effect with a -1 multiplier. See siphon str, bond of death, etc. Those effects didn't wear off when mobs died.

1. Necro casts siphon strength.
2. Target gets -str
3. Check is applied that type=lifetap
4. Effect is applied to the caster of the spell, and the effects are multiplied by -1
5. Necro gains strength for the same duration

1. Necro casts shadowbond.
2. Target gets +hp
3. Check is applied that type=lifetap
4. Effect is applied to the caster of the spell, and the effects are multiplied by -1
5. Necro loses hp for the same duration

Here's the raw data proving it used to be type=lifetap, changed at the very date the recourse was added. That's the flag that told the game to apply the effect in reverse to the caster.

2002-09-04 11:33 Changed Target Type from Lifetap to Single

EVERY other type=lifetap with a duration could be dispelled. Every other type lasted after a mob no longer had the effect. They were NOT linked and were dispellable.

Case closed. I'm sick of reiterating this argument every few months.
