Petition: Please fix "Greater Dispelling" on Sanctity

Devs, could you kindly please, please, please fix Sanctity, the new Greatsword weapon from the Curse of Strahd raid. While you gave it a great set of abilities, and even more so when the weapon is placed in the hands of a Paladin, no Paladin in a Group or Raid would, on the whole, ever consider using it.

Greater Dispelling means that the weapon will remove friendly damaging Damage-over-Time spells, such Niacs Biting Cold or Arcane Pulse, from the target struck with the weapon.

So please could you either:



Fix the ability to only remove enemy-cast spells, instead of friendly-cast spells on target damaged by the weapon

or


Replace Greater Dispelling with a different, Paladin-orientated ability. Such as the weapon grants a +1 Determination bonus to Critical Multiplier when used to perform an Exalted Smite, or Smite Evil is regenerated 25% Faster,

or


Replace Greater Dispelling with a different, standard damaging ability altogether. I wouldn't say no to Radiance, or Greater Sunburst, or some such!

or


Just remove Great Dispelling altogether, and at least make the weapon usable


It's tough being a pure level 20 Paladin that is dedicated to Two-Handed Fighting, so please don't make the shiny toys in the latest raid unusable for us!

Thank you!

Dispel magic, unlike dispelling arrows, is only coded to remove positive "buff" effects. So this should already be the case.

I don't have tried this weapon but I know also Dispelling Shot removes some detrimental effects.
e.g. dispelling shot removes Deconstructed (from Smiting Arrows) and Armor Destruction (from a weapon effect), I just tested this two debuffs to make sure it is still the case, I know there are more detrimental effects that are removed by Dispelling Shot but I don't want to give false information, so I mention only this two debuffs.
By the way, another problem in the AA enhancement is that Pull out of Reality doesn't affect bosses, the description says that only the instant kill doesn't affect bosses but Banishing Arrows doesn't work at all on bosses.
I just assume this is not WAI or the description should be more precise (it should tell Banishing Arrows doesn't affect bosses at all)
I made already a suggestion so you can have a permanent examination window because this is very helpful if you want to see what is actually happen.

AA dispelling arrows are broken, yes.

About Greater Dispelling, i asked if it was fixed in a ravenloft loot preview thread but no one answered. I asked because i remember giving up farming the ToEE dagger when ToEE was the new thing for my assassing because of a bug with Dispelling weapons. Was i wrong? Don't know anymore, i forgot. But i guess the OP tested it, and the bug is what the OP is talking about.
