Nullify Magic vs Annul Magic

Pufferfish · #1 05-28-2016, 01:29 PM

I was testing the cancel magic line of spells on myself. What I've noticed is...

.. Cancel Magic (lvl 19) Remove 1 buff
. Nullify Magic (lvl 44) Remove 2 buffs
... Annul Magic (lvl 55) Remove 2 buffs

It seems that Nullify Magic and Annul Magic do the exact same thing. Can anyone explain to me why I would want to use Annul Magic over Nullify Magic?

more dispell counters for stronger things that need to be removed i think

Funnier name.

Annul magic also has a quicker cast time, and I suppose may remove more 'buff counters' per 'remove buffs'.

Nullify

1: Cancel Magic (4)
2: Cancel Magic (4)

Annul

1: Cancel Magic (9)
2: Cancel Magic (9)

Those numbers in parentheses refers to the potency of the removal. This goes against the potency of the spells.

Remind me how the counters thing works.

A 'remove 4 counters' effect would remove 4 counters from every buff (starting from the top) until either a buff is removed or there are no more buffs to remove counters from?

Not sure if fixed is the right word. Dispells being able to skip buffs is just broken.

Thank you kindly Weasel!

PS Haynar is a champ.

Why exactly did the developers change buff importance values again? I know that dispell sticks used to always remove your top buff, but then that changed with a random patch, which in some ways made managing dragon AEs and dispells futile.

it still usually removes the top - the issue is just as the previous poster pointed out, the client side and server side buff order is not always 'accurately' displayed to you in the order your buffs actually are
