Good Morning,
With friendly fire will this remove my sustained talents from myself & party members or just the status effects that enemies place on my party?
For example, if I have Alistair with Shield Wall activated, and then he uses the cleansing aura talent will it remove shield wall from him as well?
- Cleanse Area (templar ability) removes only magical buff/debuffs and sustains, Shield Wall is a warrior sustain.
- the area of effect is a circle around the templar (10m wide), all magical effects are removed, friendly and non-friendly (it will remove things like Flaming/Frost/Telekinetic Weapons from your mages.)
- it can't remove anything from the templar that's actively casting it. (including nasty enemy debuffs like Curse of Mortality)
So any "dispel" type talent will also remove the ally characters positive sustained/activated talents?
Is that correct? Seems kinda counter productive.
Pretty much. My theory is that these spells were designed to disrupt enemy mage archetypes with troublesome sustains-shapeshifters, arcane warriors, blood mages, and keepers. It's an all or nothing spell line, but it does do a good job of dealing with mage sustains, which IMO was the primary purpose of the spells.
Oh yea, that makes sense. I was looking for something to free allies from paralysis/ prison & remove hostile status effects, but the trade off of removing all my bonuses is a bit too steep. I see the logic though, probably good for balance.
Everything the Templar tree does a Mage does better. I've found it's largely for roleplaying not efficiency. Now if it drained mana with every arrow hit that'd be a different story entirely...
