Plague characters not able to dispel anything

I noticed that when in arena, if a character is plagued and has other negative status effects and an Ally uses a dispell, nothing is dispelled. In the past, plague stayed but the other negative status effects went away. Is this working as intended???

  • If they were being cleansed in the past then it wasn't working then. It has always prevented cleanse... or it was always supposed to anyhow.
  • I never could cleanse other debuffs when plagued. Always worked that way.
  • plague says "immune to ally dispells" so maybe in the past got plague on him but no one else, he could still clear all negative effect on himself and other (idk if thats really how it works). but if another ally had plague like baze he wouldn't get any cleansing from chirrut, but chirrut can still cleanse the others without plague and himself
  • It occurs to me that in cleansing with Chirrut, it also has the potential to bring someone up to full health, thus getting rid of Plague. Perhaps in that chain and order of events, bringing up to full health, then dispelling Plague, then allowing the character to be cleansed from other debuffs.

    This. If the heal comes first Plague is neutralized and the dispell will work. For many abilities with a set of effects the order of execution is the key. For example: you don´t land any debuffs on bosses in hSTR with Zader because before applying the debuffs he deals damage and that increases boss tenacity.

    Oh... muh... gerd...
    This makes so much more sense now. I'd just given up and only use Vader's basic now, because there was no point in using Culling Blade to remove Sion's Pain. Much more beneficial to just keep Pain up and get that extra damage like from death mark or expose.
