"This dispel is potent enough to remove Magic effects that are normally undispellable." namely Divine Shield and Iceblock!

As noted below, this spell will now target buffs that are considered "undispellable" first.

Comment by Zertz

It sounds really nice since it can dispel basically anything, but the mana cost is really high, so it means that it has very limited use in PvE, but really useful in PvP. No more standing around a Paladin until his Divine Shield wears out :)

Comment by oellawappa

This is basically Blizzards solution to the Decursive mod. As you might know the Decursive mod will not be compatible with The Burning Crusade so to make things easier on us "debuffers" they've given us these types of spells.

Comment by Eragoon

The effectiveness of this spell is a big concern among priests due to the high mana cost. On paper, the idea of removing almost any negative magic effect instantly in a AOE manner is great, but often the spell has limited use. Its design is for debuffing boss encounters moreso than pvp dispelling divine shield.

Comment by AvatarZ

As of the new patch (2.10) Mass Dispell will now target the most powerful buff on the target. This should fix the fact that it did not always try to dispell things like Divine Shield and Iceblock.

Comment by para11ax

In addition, Mass Dispel can be used to dispel the "Deep Slumber" ability of Shade of Eranikus, which is normally undispelable.

Comment by Javmana

Has anyone been able to use this effectively? I try, but mostly just end up making ribbons of light fly about during fights, because the effects i was trying to dispel END before i can get the darn green circle thing close enough to the people that need the dispel.

Hints for using this?

Comment by 917campo

i watch a priest do this in arena when i had unsabble affliction on all the enemy's and it killed itself.....haha

Comment by skywyze

Which raid bosses is this worthwhile against?

Comment by superdex333

Will this dispel Divine Intervention?

Comment by confoo22

I read that they will be reducing the effectiveness of this spell against normally undispellable effects, making it less likely to work on those.

Comment by Artoo

Hmm, I was wondering if this works on Lady Vashj - Entangle? Gonna try it.

And also "Doom" on Azgalor, That doesnt seems likes its gonna work but you never know before you try.

This ability should be working on more PvE spells since it's a PvE-game.

Comment by AlexFolland

It's kinda funny how all the NPCs who can teach you this spell are lower than level 70. One of them is even level 6. NPCs rock! They have unlimited cash (and bag space!) to buy all your rotten garbage, can learn spells way earlier than you, break the level cap all the time, and restore their health and mana instantly and completely while out of combat.

I wanna be an NPC. Hey, that'd make a good song title.

Comment by Tazini

In Karahzan, the Arcane Elementals in The Menagerie where the Curator patrols, have a Mana Shield buff, which is not even registered with Dispel Magic, yet when I threw a Mass Dispel to clear some of the Drain Manas from the worms while fighting them, I noticed "RESIST" pop up over the big guy.

Being one of three healers, in that area where on other nights I would die every other fight, I did not want to spend the time spamming Mass Dispel, but has anyone else noticed this?

Comment by cpt45

Does "Mass Dispel" remove "Soul Link"? On wowhead it doesnt show soul link showing the magic effect for the buff, but in game it does... just curious

Comment by mongchan

This Spell changed to "10 friendly targets and 10 enemy targets" in 2.4 PTR

Comment by mbub

I'm surprised this hasn't been at least discussed.

You can, to an extent, control who you can include in your Mass Dispel. Targets that are closest to the center of your casting circle (where you clicked) will have a higher priority than those that are farther. These include, but may not be limited to, pets and friendly NPCs.

Mass Dispel DOES NOT differentiate whether the person has a debuff or not. If someone has no debuff, they will "take up" a dispel if they are closer to the center.

I had to test this out because I was wondering why I couldn't dispel the entire raid in two Mass Dispels during Zul'jin bear phase. The 2.4 buff this spell is getting will make all Mass Dispel jobs so much easier, however.

One more thing to add: Mass Dispel can get rid of Banish on allies.

Comment by cissp5

Costs roughly 1882 mana at Level 80 talented as holy.

Comment by Zulaaa

Can u use mass dispel for paladins bubles @ lvl 80 in arena?

Comment by Artea

Although it is able to dispel paladin bubbles, I have found this no longer dispels mages ice block. Quite annoying.

Comment by scientician

When glyphed and talented appropriately, Mass Dispel has a 0.5s or less cast time and costs 637 mana at level 80. You need Focused Power, Absolution, and the Glyph of Mass Dispel to get here.

Specing this way pretty much turns you into the ultimate groupwise debuffer, and if there is ever a situation where it is a giant group vs another giant group a few mass dispels will tilt the scales in your favor very quickly. There have been many a turtling AVs that have turned the tide on because I would show up and cast 8 or 9 mass dispels on a combination of ally and horde players. I got rid of dozens of fortitude, spirit, and mark of the wild buffs, along with several dots, hots, a few arcane powers, and even the occasional immunity. Of course, I'd occasionally hit a UA or vampiric touch, but priests who dispel UA dont talk about priests who dispelled UA.

It is feared by many a mage and paladin on the opposite faction because it can remove immunities, but don't let that stop you from... well... dispelling things en-masse. :)

Comment by Phenik

Can this de-stealth someone? I've seen more than once, priests using this to uncover a vanished rogue, etc. I may have not been paying close enough attention though, something else may have hit the rogue.

Comment by Context

so does mass dispel still remove paladin's bubble because i cast it like 3 times and nothing happens...

Comment by taurenmoo812

A paladins worst nightmare. I honestly get so fed up of every human or dwarf ally griefer coming in and killing npcs, then bubble hearthing out like there pro. I'm going to level my troll priest up, just for the pleasure of having paladins get nuked with there bubbles dispelled.

Comment by Xrandom66X

i think the tooltip's wrong (along with other aoe's like it). im pretty sure the diameter is 15 yards, not radius. radius is 1/2 the diameter, or width of a circle.

Comment by Narwain

Amazing in battlegrounds! Can dispel both Divine Shield and Ice Block! There are some instances, specifically in Utgarde Keep where the NPCs cast large shields that slow dps down and drain a healers mana, mas dispel casn be cast over the area with the shield and every time I've used it it works! be sure to have this on your taskbar where you can see it, it's amazing!

Comment by Vaugn

Two additional uses for Mass Dispel.

1 - Can remove the 10-second spell reflection from Azuregos. (Useful for disc priests solo'ing him).

2 - Can remove the whirlwind ability Anzu casts on other players/pets.

Comment by jackburnt

The level requirement has changed. You can learn the spell at 72, not 70 (just went and checked on my 70 priest).

There a way to submit changes?

Comment by ArMeDSuRvIvOr

Can this spell dispel the powerful Anti-Magic Shell from Death Knights? Normal dispels don't work against it and haven't had time to test if Mass Dispel works against it.

Comment by seahen

Can this dispel a GM's bubble as well?

Comment by Crimefridge

Something I don't get... they are taking the defensive dispel away from Dispel Magic... but you can still use Mass Dispel defensively, it just costs more and has a 0.5s cast time with a glyph.

So... the end result is you could accidentally dispel UA or Lifebloom in able to remove a HoJ / Deep Freeze / Polymorph / Fear?

So... it will barely affect the matchups at all except in mana efficiency and discourage the use with UA targets in the Affliction matchup, which needed a buff IMO anyways?

...what's the problem again? I'm pretty sure Shadow Priests can deal with a VERY minor mana nerf.

Really, I don't get how NOT taking away all the defensive dispels makes a whole lot of sense in the design scheme of "non-specced healers not having dispels" if you leave a 0.5s Mass Dispel in the design?

Ooh, that's gonna leave a lot of time for clutch interrupting.

Darn, my Holy tree gets locked down if someone gets me in the 0.5 second window despite latency issues! And I'm a Shadow Priest! How can I ever function without a Holy tree for a maximum of 8 seconds! SHOOT I might have to use a different school.

It's a joke enough that Shadow gets locked down I can still use Mind Spike and Mana Burn, but lol on this one.

Comment by Magnatross

You can't cast spells on a player while they are dueling, but for some reason if you cast it on a crowd of players while two or more are dueling then nobody gets dispelled.

Hearthstone: Mass Dispel

Comment by Xiberion

As shadow it has a cast time of 1.5 but 1 second less as healing. Cant find what passive talent exactly does that either.
