I use eradicate only when I feel like sharing KB's with my team, which is extremely rare. Eradicate is the least of your worries from a skilled MM.
So, you've got one person that is doing nothing but spending 100% of their time to debuff you, which means you are going to need at *least* one other person to coordinate with that person to try and kill you, but this is imbalanced.
You're going to see a lot more eradicate in PvP now, as 44 marks/22 Assassin is a very very good PvP spec. If someone is dedicating 100% uptime to keep you debuffed, and thereby doing no DPS whatsoever, I'd say that's a pretty fair trade team/balance wise.
There has to be *some* kind of counter to multiple hotting healers in WFs. If you have no eradicate, teams become literally unkillable with 3+ aoe healing and hots going.
Ahhhh....still remember those clerics pre 1.5 that would just stand there while I was trying to DPS them and say things like /say Are you actually hitting me?
Can you tell I'm hitting you yet?

On a side note, thank god more mages aren't smart enough to spec this.
**Your Cleansing Flames spell removes 1 buff from up to 10 enemies within the targeted area. **

Just my two cents, I'll live with losing eradicate when Wardens lose Healing Spray, Soothing Stream, and all instant cast shields in the game become non-instant and interuptable. As it is now, the plethora of instant cast HoTs, Shields and other insanely powerful defensive spells that can't be stopped with an interrupt are only counterable with a purge that can be cast just as quickly. Both use a GCD and the fight is Reset to prior to the casting of either. You didn't get a heal from that GCD, I didn't get to do damage from mine. Problem solved.
Someone feeling wronged is like someone feeling thirsty. Don’t tell them they aren’t. Sit with them and have a drink.
I would like to pose a question, to all those stating that people have to spend 44pt's to get Eradicate
Isn't the FOTM Rogue Spec atm 51MM/ 15 Something ?
Just a question..
I personally don't see eradicate used enough in my WF's for it to warrant being an issue... and considering i only have 3 buffs, and even if they're removed .. my gameplay doesn't change all that much .. It's definitely a non-issue to me anyway..
In a world without fences and walls, who needs Gates and Windows?
You realise that these same skills keep you alive too. so you'll die super-duper quick.
Not having instant casts for healers means we cant react, which means we cant pvp.
instead we have to quess who you're going to hit, start casting in order to save this persons life, hope we dont get interrupted, silenced or whatever. And then hope we dont over heal you.
People have this mind set that healing shouldnt be able to keep someone up. and you cant IF they are being focus fired. if they are just milling around, of course you can.
anyway, this argument is as old as the hills and rather boring,

Death pays all debts
My point was, exactly that. I don't want either of those souls to lose those things. But I also don't want them to be uncounterable either. And for the record, I have a rank 4 cleric, I just haven't played her in about 2 months. I know how hard it is to heal in Warfronts (which is why I hated doing it.) It's also a thankless, bitter job; since if you lose the WF, most people think it's because not enough heals/heals sucked, or because the DPSers feel they are gods.
Purging is the counter to HoTs being Godly. They are not Godly, since many souls can purge them. Because many souls can purge them, in a vareity of ways (Either AOE purges from mages/clerics, or single target purges from ... everyone I think...) HoTs and shields should stay how they are.
I'm agreeing with you, those things are valuable and necessary in combat. But it sounds like you don't agree they should have equal counters?
Someone feeling wronged is like someone feeling thirsty. Don’t tell them they aren’t. Sit with them and have a drink.
Purging hasnt been doing the trick to counter hots as of yet to any healing with half a mind. So i dont think its working as intended if thats its purpose.
