Guys, I need your help. Please check the following with *all* of the classes you're playing. It'll only take a minute. Then post the results:

Which of all the possible cleansing spells:

Cure Disease
Abolish Disease
Purify
Cleanse
Dispel Magic
Cure Poison
Abolish Poison
Remove Lesser Curse
Remove Curse
Purge
Devour Magic
Stoneform

...will let you keep targetting someone who isn't debuffed while casting that spell on someone else? If I target someone without magic debuff and cast Dispel Magic, I get an error message instead of a glowing hand. Other spells might be different. I need to know this to fix the problems people are having with resuming auto-attack (which will only work for spells that show a glowing hand, but not for spells with the error message).

So please target someone who doesnt have a debuff, then click your available cleansing spells from your spellbook and check if you either get the message "nothing to clean" or a glowing hand.

Thanks.

yeh this happened to me once I was in Chrommy fight but the whole encounter was such a mess(and always is), and there were so many magic/disease debuffs for me(as a priest) to dispel that I can't actually pay attention to an error message in my bugsack, plus the debuffs couldnt last long... they were quickly dealt with by the fellow priests anyways. But by guesswork I realized it might have something to do with targetting so I turned to target chrommagus himself throughout the rest of the encounter and yeah no more error occured.

Well, I tested out the following, and when I target someone who doesn't have a debuff, and cast the spell, I get an error message that there is nothing to dispel. Not a hand:

Purify, Cleanse, Dispel Magic, Remove Lesser Curse, Remove Curse, Cure Poison

Now for Abolish Poison, it casts on that target regardless of whether they have a debuff or not.

thanks. May I ask which classes you were using to test? The current status is:

Nothing to dispel
Purify
Cleanse
Dispel Magic
Remove Lesser Curse
Remove Curse
Cure Poison

will always be cast on the target
Abolish Disease
Abolish Poison

still investigating
Cure Disease
Purge
Devour Magic
Stoneform

Stoneform

Since stoneform can only be cast on thyself (self-buff) it's totally irrelevant if sth is targetted or not; click the button and it's casted.

I can add that Cure Disease also gives an error when attempted to be used on someone who doesn't have a disease.
Purge also gives an error message when you try and use it on something which has no magic to remove.

thanks. It seems that it might make a difference if you're targetting a friendly unit or a mob. So please target a mob when casting the spell and let me know if you still get the "nothing to dispel" message.

Devour Magic -> nothing to dispel (targetting either enemy or friendly)

Purge cannot be cast on an enemy unit if it doesn't have any buffs. Error Message, I think.

Remove Lesser Curse -- class Mage:

Targetting friendly -- "Nothing to Dispel"
Targetting enemy -- glowing hand

is this when using a Felhunter?

Is this an assumption? Can you please double-check? :)

afaik purge can only be cast on enemys to purge them, it is unable dispell debuffs from friendly units. This is definitive!
it uses the same mechanic as dispell magic : an error occurs exactly like with dispel magic.

targetting friendly trying to purify or cleanse : error message as described above

Purge gives error if you target a hostile unit without buffs. No hand.

Note that self-cast mods will affect the behavior of friendly-only spells like these.

With EgoCast enabled, casting Purify and Cleanse on an enemy target gives "Nothing to dispel".
If I disable EgoCast, casting Purify and Cleanse on an enemy/neutral target gives me a hand.

Paladin:

On Purify and Cleanse, I get "Nothing to dispel" if I have a friendly targeted and a Glove if I have an monster targeted.

you got bongos with auto self cast on or blizz self cast option enabled ? couse Blizz self cast bugs detox up, and bongos turns on the blizz one instead of having proper code...
