Nihilus’ dispel

When he removes foresight with his basic, why doesn’t that count as removing a buff. His basic states that if ANY buff is removed, his cooldown is reduced
  • It's a bug, I've seen it happen quite a few times, it also happened about an hour ago when I was playing. Nihilus is not supposed to hit through foresight. In the majority of time he would get evaded and won't dispel anything, but there are some moments when he would hit right through foresight and dispel all buffs on GK for example. This should rather be moved to the Bugs section.

    I noticed it too, that sometimes foresight seems not to prevent buff dispel, although the attack is not inevitable nor is the character stunned. For example yesterday in Territory Battles, my Princess Leia was in stealth and had foresight, but after a snowtrooper used his Blowout ability, which dispels all buffs, all her buffs were gone. But in the description of Blowout it is not said that this ability can not be evaded. Ergo foresight should have expired due to evading the attack, but the others buffs should have stayed.


    It depends on if the character dispells before or after damage.

    They are supposed to dispell first so foresight would deflect/evade it and then deal damage (also avoided/deflected by foresight), the other way around would literally make foresight useless and is a bug. Think Thrawn is the only dispeller who can get rid of foresight.

    DN;

    1) basicability_darthnihilus_dispel_buffs - Context #01
    2) Whatever
    3) Whatever
    4) basicability_darthnihilus_damage_u06 - Context #03

    Should be roughly the same for QGJ eg.

    Another question: why does Resistance Trooper dispel buffs THROUGH foresight?


    Is the character stunned?
    Foresight is useless if your toon is stunned.


    Nope. Wasn't stunned.
