    Cause, uh being invincible would be crappy if you can get debuffed kinda means its not invincible b:chuckle. The invoke thing for barbs its not so bad since it has a 1 minute cooldown just run around for 20 seconds then purge him. TW is all a different thing. Attacking is hard enough taking away invoke means it would be pretty darn hard to win a TW outright.

    No you cannot purge turtle. Yes quite invincible would be useless if you could purge it except its major op in TW. And I ain't just talkin about turtle from the barb turtle orbs too which is wrong I understand if its a class special you can't purge it but something from a pot? No no totally should be able to be purged. But look at it like this people have invincible pots plus turtle plus solid shield its stupid. And not just on a barb either on anyone even a veno using feral should be able to be purged its the nature of things purge is suppose to remove ALL positive effects off the target yet the effects that matter like that you can't touch. I wouldn't even mind it if it wasn't for that you can't purge anything on the player if you could purge the other buffs it wouldn't be a bad thing to let it be unable to be taken off but not only does it use your cool down if you purge just as they are popping the pot but it causes you to do nothing but stand there for 1-3 seconds after meaning your character is stunned that they failed and just stand there they won't move. Now if you do the same to buffs you can holy path away after you purge something to get out of the wraith of the purged player but with that its just wrong.

    And invoke isn't so bad since you can purge the other buffs off him and even with half damage he can still go down. But in TW if you suddenly have 4 cats in your base and none of them can take damage your **** screwed. Moreso if they are able to do it every single time even if you get them out they come back but thats TW so yah thats what happens. Whats wrong is it does the same thing as when a pet starts to reset uses the cool down doesn't let you cancel the skill and makes it hard to recover.

    Hmm im not sure about turtle orbs but yeah i agree those damage reduction pots should be able to be purged. The rest however that is why its important in TW to try to chain stun or seal the barbs to help prevent the use of pots/skills.

    Maybe it has something to do with invoke also having negative effects on the barb? I.E. Slows caster's movement speed by half.

    Since it's not a pure buff (no negative effects) maybe that's why....

    Honestly.. that's all I could think of. b:surrender

    So if BM uses Dragon Bane which gives reduced attack power by 50% but increases critical hit by 25%, Venos purge wouldn't remove it OR it would remove crit OR it would remove both?

    I think he has a point. Since Invoke is one buff icon, it's a two in one thing.

    Even though it's one icon for 2 effects, you can use anti stun pots with invoke to negate the 50% reduction. Don't know if you can puri it too, haven't tried yet, but might in the future.

    Didn't know you couldn't purge it though, that's good to know lol I always assumed you could, so waited for a veno to try before using invoke.

    No it wouldn't remove the half damage thing from that skill it would remove the positive part the 25% crit though.

    As a general rule of thumb anything that is bad for you a cleric can get rid of with purify anything that is good for you a veno can remove with purge that is except the half damage and invincible status.
