Inwar Darktide broken after hotfix?

[aileen]

Hello,
Tonight we went to clearing HK, killed darktide but noticed that tide warden's dead water spell can't be dispelled and stacks going up, we waited other side to down their boss to same percentage of us and reached 10stacks, only way to damage warden is having jeopardy/illuminate/spotters order or reflecting abilities after getting 10 stacks.
Checked patch notes didn't see such change related about it. So it seems mechanic has been broken.

We had this problem last night too, so its not just you.

It's the archon cleanse. It doesn't work correctly. Use a senticar on each side instead

Actually sentinel cleanse didn't work today (a few hours after, after hotfix #5). Neither AoE Cleanse nor ST Cleanse worked.

Mechanics appear to have indeed changed.

The debuff is no longer cleansable (tried both single-target and aoe cleanse as a senticar) and stacks for everyone in melee range. The damage does not increase with more stacks, but outgoing damage is significantly reduced up to the point of having none, so you can't wait ages anymore if the other side needs to catch up. Seems to me that it is finally working as intended (but that's just an assumption).

Yay, another ninja change.

Not a change anyone here at the office asked for. I've asked some folks to look into whats going on.

Also look into why archon cleanse never worked for this

This will unleash swirling flames around the Mage, removing 1 Curse effect from up to 10 group and raid members within the targeted area.

Curses are yellow outlined if i recall right. The stacking debuff on inwar darktides' Idol phase are poisons(purple outline) i believe.

If I read correctly, the archon AOE cleanse will be covering all types in 1.8?

The archon cleanse currently removes the debuff image, but doesn't actually remove the effect.

We have always ran an archon to cleanse the ranged side, it works for us. Dont really know why it wouldnt for you...

Archon cleanse removes the debuff but has never prevented members from taking damage (at least for us!)

Whereas the cleric aoe cleanse removes the debuff and stops damage from occurring.
