Can we make Curse a larger priority over light when dispelling yourself please?

Thank you.

Ok, reason being is let's say you can barely see in the dark.

You go down a trap, get cursed, now you can not see.

You cast light so you can see.

Stun to stun your enemy.

Then dispell to dispell the curse but you remove light.

Causing you to become cursed and stunned.

That's the problem with having light a priority over curse.

Dispel always dispels Stun first.

Then it works differently if you are dispelling an enemy or a friend.
Self = Friend.

Dispelling a friend looks for the first spell of the following list that it can find in the spell[] data array and then tries to dispel it. Note that it is in the order stored in the spell array which normally corresponds to the order cast. It is not in the order listed below.
Light
Wimpy (Guardian Angel)
Stun
Curse
Warcry (Curse)
Warcry2 (Stun)
Weaken (C2)
Poison
Blind
Corrode

I am not sure from your example below what sequence spells were cast in or what slots had expired or were empty.
If you get cursed (spell[0]) and then you cast light (spell[1]) then dispel should dispel spell[0] before spell[1].

You would normally want to dispel the bad things first: stun, curse, war-curse and such. Light shouldn't be considered a bad thing Wink

I think before Light wasn't dispellable. So you would just dispel the curse, as people would want.
Now Light has been added to the dispel-a-friend.

So what happens now: you spell up, cast light, walk into a room, get cursed. Then you get dispelled. You are still cursed, and don't see your enemy anymore and can't parry. And...you're still cursed.

This is broken if this is how its supposed to work. I was cursed then light cast on me 2nd(with no other recent buffs/debuffs so spell order should be curse[0] light[1] and it dispelled light first when i tried to dispel myself.
Light appears to be the only spell that ignores cast order
Also you cant even dispel wimpy/GA, it says I'm unspelled, but that doesn't really matter.

I'm wondering if the light block choice for others casting it on you is somehow having an effect...

This is still broken.

If light is before curse in your spell up, light is dispelled prior to curse.

Curse should take priority over any good spell regardless of it's order.

Dispel was not broken - just different to how you wanted it to work.

However, it should now move light to 2nd priority of dispel sequence.
