Purge not working

justAperon

Yesterday (26.08.2022), me and my TTT progression group noticed something weird after U35 just came live. The alliance war skill "Purge" is not working as intended.
For us, this showed at the first boss, the raptors, as it did not cleanse the spheres' poison DoT, nor any other harmful effect that is pplied during that fight. At times, it did work as inteded, but for the majority of the time, it did not cleanse anything.
As to why this is, we are mostly unsure at the moment, although a veteran and very experienced guild member has the suspicion of it being caused by certain proc sets, such as "Whorl of depths", "Coral riptide" and "Bahseis mania". He states that these got hard coded, and thus prevent some debuffs to be purged.
I will update this thread every time i get new information, details or evidence. If anyone else has more details, please let me know in the comments.

My TTT prog today noticed that templar cleansing ritual, warden betty netch, and necro expunge skills does work much better then the pvp purge. We tried purge at the raptors and at the last boss; it was taking multiple casts before it was actually clearing, if it cleared at all. Both healers were having issues, warden and templar

edit: corrected skills

The purge hits randomly anything that is present in the fight, including combat pets of your team members and also adds and bosses you are fighting .

Adds and bosses are not part of your group while fighting - combats pets are understandable

Logs from my TTT yesterday, it does look like you are correct. Not sure if that's intended from ZOS, especially since they are not in group

Looking at older logs, I'm seeing the same thing in logs from before U35. Here's a log from July 7th and it still shows purge hitting the bosses:

Posting here to confirm. We have another thread going about it too.

Please fix purge. If you need more info I can submit even more tickets/bug reports.
It is difficult to submit reports during a TTT since theres a time element. So hoping these threads can get a response or a fix. The first boss in vhof is the worst, but even the triplets DoT isnt reliably purging (and the damage seems way overtuned)

Has anyone seen anything about this getting fixed yet?

Could nerfing the DoT be an option if purge is too hard to fix?

this shouldnt be that hard to fix, target friendly players and not random mobs, why you would purge enemies? ok can be fun with plaguebreak in pvp...
