dude....abolish poison o.OFollow

Lol - that sounds like a mistake somehow. But then, I suppose if you compare it to a de-poison totem, it is pretty much the same. The totem can be destroyed, but then the abolish poison can be spellstolen/purged/dispelled etc.

I expect a change though. Rogues will definitely cry way too much :)

Poison Cleansing totem pulses every 5s. It's rarely worth dropping against a rogue unless they use crippling poison because they will EASILY keep a full stack of poisons on you even with the totem. The problem is when they attack multiple people just to get crippling poison on to limit the mobility of everyone.

Abolish Poison lasts half the time of a totem and ticks 2.5 times faster? :X That's pure craziness. I'd rather have a 30s totem that pulsed 2s. BTW, I doubt people who can dispel are really concerned with dispelling abolish poison when there are usually much more detrimental buffs to remove.

I do 2x2 arena with a Mutilate rogue. Getting rid of Abolish Poison is my priority in any fight vs. a druid.

My point was that even with poison cleansing totem + remove poison.... I can't even make a dent in the number of poisons. If I focus on removing poisons, my target is dead (either myself or whoever). If you have time to remove poisons beyond a single cast, then you'll win easily anyways. Even with poison cleansing totem down, the poison it removes is on me again within 1-2s and it doesn't pulse for another 3-4s.

Now that there are no "stacks" of poisons, maybe that makes removing the poison even more important because they are instantly critical and you instantly remove the former full stack. It'd be better if they had to stack... and remove poison removed one full TYPE of poison, at least from a shaman point of view. With abolish poison being 1 min and ticking every 2s that'd be way OP. For a shaman that can't cast heals and move, it's much less since they don't tick as often.

eh, now its back where it used to be. no problem there. us non-beta folks wont even know the difference.
