Abolish Disease: What does it mean in gaming?
World of Warcraft – Disease Removal Spell (Classic & Retail)
Abolish Disease is a healing utility spell available to Priests in World of Warcraft, designed to instantly remove one disease effect from a friendly target and continue removing additional diseases over a short duration. While more commonly used in Classic WoW and Wrath of the Lich King Classic, it can still be situationally valuable in modern WoW content with disease-based mechanics in dungeons, raids, or PvP.
How does Abolish Disease function in WoW gameplay?
Abolish Disease helps healers keep their group clear of deadly debuffs. Here’s how it works:
- Initial Cleanse: Instantly removes one active disease effect.
- Over Time Effect: Continues to cleanse one disease every few seconds for a short duration.
- Class-Specific: Exclusive to Priests and learned through spell training in Classic or selected via talents in some expansions.
- Utility vs. Burst: Preferred over Cure Disease in situations with recurring disease applications.
- PvE and PvP Use: Highly effective in encounters or battlegrounds where enemies apply stacking or frequent diseases.
- Preparing for disease-heavy dungeons or raid encounters? Onlyfarms offers Raid Carries and Dungeon Assistance to keep you progressing even when things get infected.
