KJ Breath Not Making Player Immune to Slow #9145

Closed spacct closed 4 months ago

spacct commented 4 months ago

Description: KJ Breath Not Making Player Immune to Slow

Current behaviour: KJ Breath: Haste Not Making Player Immune to Slow. Flame Dart slow and Breath: Haste can exist simultaneously, but the slow of the Flame Dart prevails over the immunity.

Expected behaviour: image

Even if Flame Dart debuff is on a player (with movement speed slow debuff), the immunity from KJ Breath: Haste should make the player immune to slow effects as well as increase their movement speed.

You are only immune to the slow effect of the flame dart if you have the breath buff up BEFORE the application.

If you receive breath buff AFTER the application of flame dart, it will not remove that debuff. Only the shield will remove the debuff at the point (or something that removes movement impairing effects like freedom)

Classic video showing this - got flame dart debuff, received breath buff a few seconds after, still had flame dart.

I didnt say it should remove the debuff. Read more carefully next time. I said it should make you immune. You should retain the debuff, but the immunity should last the duration of Breath: Haste.

The immunity prevents you from gaining a new debuff, but gaining the breath wont dispel an existing debuff. Even though the debuff still exists, the buff itself makes the player immune to slow effects, thus negating the effect of the debuff (while not removing it).

Yep my bad - reopening

Did some more research on this looking for similar effects that do not remove existing debuffs and you were right. Looks like the immunity only prevents new debuffs from being added and has no overwriting effect on existing debuffs.

For comparison: Same as with Free Action potion. You gain immunity, but since it does not clear existing debuffs, you remain snared. And since Breath: Haste does not have a 'Remove Auras on Immunity' flag (like FAP), you remain snared even while you have the buff.
