Description:
Currently, cleanse type spells (cleansing totem, dispels) can remove beneficial effects on players (buffs) when they should only be able to affect debuffs. This happens when the buffs themselves have a negative type attached to them. Some situational/gimmick buffs can be classified as type - poison, curse.
Only tested with dragonbreath chili as it's the only one I can recall right that has type poison, but there may be other things like this. I think this should be addressed as a whole since cleanses should only be able to affect debuffs anyway. There may be other buffs with weird classification type affected by this.
How to reproduce:
Pop a https://wotlk.evowow.com/?item=12217
Use cleaning totem (or single target cleanse or any poison dispelling spell)
Watch it being removed on cleanse tick.
How it should work:
"This item produces a buff that is classified as a Poison effect. Normal friendly poison cleansing effects will not remove it, but the Dwarf 'Stone Form' racial, which grants temporary immunity to poisons, will."
