Plague Clarification
I got curious last night and started asking around for people to spread Plague with Cassian. While only one copy of Plague would be copied (like a Damage over Time effect), no Plague was copied at all...

Hello everybody. A quick intro, and then I'd like to answer a few questions for y'all.
I'm a Game Balance Specialist here at EACG (yes, we actually do attempt to balance the game before new characters and game modes are introduced). I love my job here at CG, and the GBS team works hard alongside the designers to make this the best game we possibly can. I'm glad so many of you love it as much as we do.
Now onto those questions:
- Also, since plague is removed when a character reaches full life, if someone like CLS uses an ability that both heals and debuffs, does the heal occur first, thus removing plague and allowing the other debuffs to be removed, or does the debuff happen first, fail, and then the heal happens which removes only the plague debuffs?
If the healing comes from health steal, it will not heal until after the attack deals damage. So in the case of R2’s Combat Analysis Zeta’d health steal mechanic, only Plague would get cleansed after a critical hit tops off the character’s health. For abilities like Ackbar’s cleanse/heal, it cleanses first, then heals (because a conditional in the augment of the heal is based on number of debuffs cleansed). So Plague will be the only debuff cleansed. Captain Han’s heal is similar in that it cleanses first, then heals (in order to get around Healing Immunity and Shock).
