Why does a 38k DM fizzle a 62k VA? (in General)


Quark December 8 2005 3:24 PM EST

mine:
E's Vampiric Aura fizzles under Dispel Magic

Karn's
Toshi cast Dispel Magic on all enemy Minions (37,914)

My VA is a 62k & change after the Corn's effect. I thought it should have held out against that DM. Is the DM dispelling up to 38k worth of VA damage? What VA do I need to survive that DM?

Karn has 2x DM. For how much is the other one casting?

Toshi cast Dispel Magic on all enemy Minions (37,914)
cast Dispel Magic on all enemy Minions (66,298)

there's your answer

although it's strange that DM stacks the against the opposing team, and i believe that a 5k DM vs 3 4.5k AS will wipe them all... haven't really tested that

(but if you have a team with more then one AS that casts below 4k, Chaith currently casts for 4000 - go test it)

*4800, not 4000

D'oh!

Toshi cast Dispel Magic on all enemy Minions (37,914)
cast Dispel Magic on all enemy Minions (66,298)

I'll just go and stand in the corner, now. That's a 105k DM effect.

Try a different corner, it's a 66k effect...

The second (or final, if there are even more than 2) shows the accumulated effect. You don't add them up again, they have already stacked, and the final cast shows the total effect.

I'll just go and stand in another corner now.
