Serene Symbol

[Shizzirri]

<div>Have a question regarding this, yesterday our guild was in lab trying to kill the giant lizard (forgot name) but its the one with the nasty heat damage shield that does 800-1000 each hit.  For experimental purposes I tryed using serene symbol on the heat damage shield (which I figured was an elemental buff).  It was at level 4 and didn't work (73 levels of dispelling), so since I had an extra AA from the zone I decided to experiment and throw the AA into serene symbol to get it up to 83 levels, however when I tryed to dispell and successfully land it, the damage shield was still up on the mob.  We killed the mob finally but I question the point of this spell to me a damage shield is a "beneficial spell" and that's what the description in the AA lists.</div><div> </div><div>I'm questioning the point of this because I dueled an sk before the raid and i was able to dispell half his buffs with it.</div>

<div>that particular buff isn't removable I believe because it's an innate ability of the mob; I have symbol at rank6 and haven't been able to remove the buff yet I have no issues at all with any other dmg shield I've come across or things like reactives, wards, anti-death buffs, pally proc, sk drain buff (draw strength).</div>

<div></div>I had the same issue with that critter.  I have the aa at rank 5 also.  The only efects I've seen dispelled so far are dark caress, blessed weapon and draw strength.  What is draw strength by the way?  I cure it on PCs and dispel it on NPCs so its a bit confusing.

<div></div>it's a debuff/buff lol it debuff's the sk's target's str and gives it to the sk so you cure the debuff part off your group memeber and dispel the buff part off the mob.

i am using this a lot and not seeing a lot of things happening. i have fought in kos and in the most of the dungeons in kos except deathtoll and have not seen it remove too many things. either they have nothing that needs to be removed and very few mobs that have these things on them or i am just not seeing it. is anyone finding this spell useful ? i look for the little icons on their names and its hard to sort out once we have all casted on the mob. i have 4 points in it. could that be it ?<div></div>

<div></div>Well 4 pts should anllow you to dispel up to 73 levels at lvl 70 which is good for any non raid mobs (and some raid mobs).  Really depends where you're fighting.
