Question about Dispel Magic (in General)

Does the dispel magic spell affect my own minions and my enemies minions?

I'm trying to figure it out so I can buy the right spell for my team.

it affects any spell cast on your enemy, so if you have AMF or EC it will affect you

DM works like this.

Vs an enemy it lowers the following spells they cast:

Haste
VA
GA
GS
AS
Prot

It lowers the following spells you cast:

AMF
EC

It does not effect Direct Damage spells such as CoC, decay, MM or FB.

It effectiveness is 80% of its trained level. IE if your level in it is 10k then it will have 8k effective level.

Hope this helps.

Looked at your character and the dispel magic will reduce your amf. So you'll have to decide between the 2 or else suffer from lack of amf.

And this question isn't in the FAQs yet because?

Couldn't tell you why.. it should be!
I always thought DM affected ALL your own enchantments including AS, Prot, GS, VA!!!
Just EC/AMF, huh? Wow, i've been in the dark for months!!!
Thanks for the clarifications. Now I know I can use Haste with DM.

On word about using DM.

As I posted earlier, DM is nice for a lower level PR character, but once you hit the major leagues (over 200k or so PR) youll see DM is not helpful compared to AMF.

Reasons:

1) Decay, with DM even a base decay will do 1/2 your hp in damage. But vs AMF (even a moderate size one) the decay mage will take more damage then they give out.

2) TOE mages. Without AMF, you just cannot stand up to them and kill them quick enough. I have one of the better tank characters and vs TOE COC mages, I get owned if I do not have AMF. Pretty easy in fact, I can only do about 1/2 of The Germs hp in damage.

AMF is great in that it helps in 2 ways vs mages.

1) Lowers the damage they do to you.
2) Makes them take damage to themselves.

IMO, forget about DM and use AMF.
