today one of my friends asked if expel breaaks bb. i havent known, so i landed, put up bb and expelled myself.
result: channeling spell: on, bless icon on myself: on, freeze icon on myself: on, shield icon for expel damage reduction: on
so it looks like bb and expel can be used together ^.^
posted this in case more pl havent known and might be interested.

    seal does not break anything mid-channel/cast. you can notice this when a mob seals you mid-channel as well. wizards' force of will breaks channel because the skill specifically does it and it says so in the description.

    well, im an expel noob b:surrender
    i just taught my genie that skill, so havent had the possibility of testing it, and i was a little worried it could spoil bb... it was meant as lifesaver, i needed something to have when absolute domain is in cooldown. when im sealed i cant cast so i was worried it can break spell being channeled atm, and that would reduce its usefulness a lot.
    im really glad it works b:pleased
    and ty all for confirming this
    @ManeK - according to description and icons expel reduces phys damage target is taking by a lot, but also freezes them in place and prevents anything new from being cast while seal effect is still on.
    i still have to battle-test it....

    I imagine this is the Genie skill.
    Looking for a decent casual understanding Faction.

    A "Seal" prevents the player from using any skill or initiating any form of player attacks (genie skill still works), but it doesn't stop the current skill thats in progress. For example, if you tried to expel another cleric that's casting tempest before they finish channeling, it won't stop the tempest from finishing and hitting you, but it will prevent them from doing the next attack until silence is over.

    Keep in mind, any seal that interrupts your channeling is a result of an additional attribute from a skill, for example, the wizard skill "Force of Will"; I'm sure most people here experienced being sealed by a wizard, the skill description reads:

    Launches an invisible explosion at the target, interrupting
    its current channelling    , silencing it, and making it unable
    to attack for <#> seconds.

    The seal itself doesn't interrupt.

    While sealed, you can still do these things:
    Move, use all genie skills, use consumable items (pots/apothecary items, etc)

    All that being said, you can still do these things as a combo with Expel:

    Channeling purify while expelling yourself, as long as you expel yourself after you've started to channel purify, but before you have completely finished channeling it, you will expel yourself in mid-purify but you will have the purify effect remove your seal as soon as purify finishes. This essentially copies Psychic Will. If you're in communication with a friendly cleric, you can also ask them to purify you.


    If you're an avid apothecary like me (and a non-cleric), you can make Soulcleasing Orbs (20 Worm Sprouts + 15 Fleece-flower Root, Lv4 Apothecary skill); after you have used expel, use one of these, it will remove the seal effect while still having the immune to physical damage buff. You can also use the Soulcleasing orb as a countermeasure against Expel, or any type of seals. A great example is the veno 2 spark skill, which silence + paralyzes you, Soul cleasing orbs removes *both*. A very good surprise trick for the unsuspecting : ). Just keep in mind apothecary items shares a 2 minute cool down.

    Also keep in mind Expel is not a movement debuff, so any skill/item that prevents movement debuffs will not affect Expel.

    Does this mean that expelling in the middle of a purify channel will instantly remove the seal effect, making you immune to phys damage and also able to attack?

    Expel can be useful in Rebirth on either the wizard or archer as they sometimes pull too much agro and are typically outside of the range of absolute domain. For myself in BB I always use absolute domain as I want to prevent interuptions, stuns & sleeps rather than just physical damage.

    Wizard doing dragon's breath is not interupted
    Archer doing barrage is not interupted
