Tips & tricks[]

  • After training Cleanse, [Purify] is no longer necessary to use. The only exception would be if you or someone else is afflicted by [Unstable Affliction] from a warlock, Purify can be used to safely remove any poisons or diseases without risking the dispelling of Unstable Affliction.

Cataclysm[]

Cataclysm This section concerns content exclusive to Cataclysm.
