Good Evening All, I am wondering if, now that I've used the earring on my Paladin, is it safe for me to sell it? If it gets dispelled, will I lose the +ATK AAs? Thanks!
Don’t get hung up on the shadow buff since it literally does nothing other than takes up a buff spot. It has nothing to do with the AA benefit.
You can pass it around your guild so everyone can click it and get the attack bonus, this will slightly increase your raid DPS
I personally keep mine, and other items like it, to use as Junk Buffs for fights where the mob dispells.
This has made me think about junk buffs and dispels, and I have some questions about these too... let’s say that I’m fighting Vox, and I have 16 buffs on me. Which ones would Dragon Roar try to remove-the first buffs cast on me or the last ones? Also, does anyone know how the dispel counters work? Doesn’t Dragon Roar have like a dispel roll of 9, and junk buffs are 1, so if I had JBoots, Bracer of the Hidden, all 3 of those would go, and then the remainder counter of 6 would go up against whatever was next (Protection of Glades has like an 8?).
Dispel goes from top down, with one slot dispelled per line in the spell data. Vox, for example, casts Frosty Death - http://lucy.allakhazam.com/spell.html?id=952&source=Live dispels 1 buff per cast. Phinigal casts Annul Magic - http://lucy.allakhazam.com/spell.html?id=1526 dispels 2 buffs per cast. I'm not sure how the (9) plays into in
You keep it because it is an insta click junk buff and you need two to four of those when facing enemies who debuff a lot, clicking it after every debuffing, else you lose many buffs
It was off the P99 wiki, so it might not be accurate for here. So all I need is to use this and Bracer of the Hidden in the first two slots, then buff up.. then during fighting I can just recast the 2 junk buffs and never lose my good buffs?
This used to be the case with older expansions where first buff slots were always targeted. I might be incorrect but later on it appears to be random which slot gets hit.
Not so much random as some buffs have a resistance to dispell I believe. That's why sometimes they get hit and sometimes they don't. If you're stacked in the first 4 slots with junk buffs, those will, at least 90% of the time, get dispelled before anything else.
You'll want to keep it at least through NToV to combat the dragon in there that dispels your buffs. Having 2 insta clickies is enough if you're paying attention, so if you have a bracer and jboots you should be fine selling the ear while it still carries good value.
Not certain but I believe the 9 means it can hit any if the first 9 buff slots. My educated hypothesis is it starts on the first buff slot and has a saving roll. If it passes the roll it checks vs slot 2 and so on until the dispelled counter triggers.
That earring is an amazing junk buff because it doesn't fade over time. Just set it and forget it. Its also relatively cheap but if I was broke I'd sell it and just rebuy it. But then again I like to make alts and you can be damn sure they're hitting that ear at level 1. Every time.
