There's nothing wrong with run speed. Fix your computer.

(Check the technical discussion forum)

Link? I don't see anything regarding run speed there.

And come on, did you even play classic? If you had a lead on a mob, you could turn and autorun to the zone. They were exactly the same speed as a player. Here, you take maybe ten steps from barely within spell range and they're stomping your ass. They're like AT LEAST 15% faster.

Currently what's happening is that it's going after the oldest buff instead of the buff that's closest to the top. This is clearly not classic as everyone remembers using junk buffs to save the first few slots to dispel dots and other effects. This is a serious issue and needs to be fixed.

Ok so I tried to test this.

I had

Buff 1 slot 8000min non-dispellable buff
Buff 2 slot empty
Buff 3 slot acumen
Buff 4 slot journeymanboots

I cast heat blood on myself. It occupied slot #2. I cast cancel magic, and it removed slot #2.

If what you are saying is true, it would have removed acumen or jboots first right?

Cancel magic is kind of a bad test for this... nullify and annul would be better.

Then maybe what I said only applies to Alenia's Disenchanting Melody, because that's the only dispel I've tried. You should test that, there's clearly an issue with it - every time I used it, it would never dispel heat blood/darkness/root/etc. in the first slot if it was applied after 5 or so buffs that I had in lower slots. Moreover, if I clicked off selo's and played ADM right away with only heat blood on, it would still try to remove selo's, making this basically useless for at least a full tick.

Same deal with that.

Slot 1: undispellable buff
Slot 2: journeymanboots
Slot 3: Acumen

I click off journeymanboots, making slot #2 empty.

Cast heat blood.

Cast alenia's disenchanting melody.

Heat blood is dispelled.

Additional testing: Is it acting this way because I'm on my development server? Is it because I have an unresistable buff in the top slot?

Logged on pvp server.

Slot #1 Journeymanboots
Slot #2 Acumen

I click off Journeymanboots, slot #1 is empty.

Cast Heat blood.

Cast Alenia's Disenchanting Melody.

Heat blood is dispelled.

Does it have a random chance of "skipping over" then? I could have just gotten very unlucky.

Also there's still the issue with the dispel thinking that my buff is still there soon after I click it off (like 1-2 seconds after). I'll do a bit of testing later and show you what I mean.

Ya be as specific as possible. If you can post the steps to replicate a bug, we can usually fix it.

I notice you are not casting the "Cancel Magic" but a version of a 1 slot dispell. Cancel Magic did not dispell heat blood at all, just skipped a slot.

[Nirgon]

Cancel magic is known to be a very sucky dispel.
