Blood DK reset explosive slam stacks (dark animus)

[TommyT]

While tanking the massive anima golems you recieve

Explosive Slam - Spell - World of Warcraft

it requires tanking switching between dark animus and the golem
but as a dk you can simply AMS as the golem is casting the slam
this will remove all stacks you currently have aswell as stop the application of the new stack
makes the fight even more of a joke than it already is

Before you comment saying
"working as intended"
the debuff is not magical therefore should not be affected by AMS

So because its fire dmg that means that AMS should reset the stacks when it trys to apply another?
its not a magic effect its not dispellable

[Raichuxoxo]

So, tell me more about Ji-Kun with the Food.
Rogues with Cloak - DKs with AMS - hm?
Same shit, just sayin'

What does ji kun have to do with dark animus?
iam sorry for trying to contribute
but you guys wouldnt know much about that

[AlgasK]

works with the stacks on the twins as well. therefore you can solo tank them, at least on normal mode.

Thanks for sharing, and here's some rep!

Yes, it's magic damage, Thus, it's a magic effect trying to apply a debuff, AMS stops things from applying magic based debuffs, Just because it's not dispellable does not make it "non-magic"

So, big fat juicy, working as intended.

AMS would stop further stacks which is intended but op is saying it is also clearing previous stacks which to me isnt intended. +rep for contributing.

[Honor777]

If its clearing stacks then thats not intended, hopefully will test it out tonight and if all goes well +rep

This also works with the healing debuff on the trash before horridon and the fire debuff Suen puts on you. There are a few more but can't think of any right now.

AMS does not clears stacks. The debuff has a 25s duration that's refreshed when you gain another stack so if it's not applied (by negating it thru AMS), it will wear off before he casts it again.
Thanks for the contribution but this is working as intended, and it's of common knowledge. EJ's advanced DK tactics topic has this info since forever.

Before saying working as intended i suggest you go try it
if you AMS on the cast the stacks you currently have regardless of duration are removed
i will record tommorrow and show you

AMS "can" clear stacks if it's cast right before another stack is applied. For example, when Festergut is applying Gastric Bloat, if you AMS right before the cast all your stacks drop, no matter what duration is left on them. I'd assume that's what's happening here. (I only assume since my DK doesn't have enough gear to attempt Animus yet)

[drakull]

You don't want it to be working as intended, then it is not.

PS: just tanked it for the 5999th time and, as always, my stacks only dropped after the time ran out.
