Dispelling shot

[Elindel22]

Hi. Is it really worth it to max dispelling shot ? You remove 3 buffs when it's maxed, or you can remove 1 buff with just one point invested in it. And it does not cost many spell points, has a short cool down etc...

I am only level 12, and this is my first toon, but I have not noticed many bosses or mobs who use many buffs, or even 1 buff...

So is it worth maxing it or not ?

Thanks

IIRC, the issue with Dispelling Shot is it will also remove DoTs cast by other party members - or your own Inferno Shots if you use them - as well as the buff spells it's supposed to remove. As such, you would only use it to remove specific buffs from mobs, like Blur / Displacement - and in that case, only if you don't have True Seeing.

*shrug* I've always skipped it. YMMV.

One rank is fine. I use mainly to remove FoM from mobs in order to paralyze. It works on all mobs too, which is one of the few skills that does. It does remove some DoT and it will remove your own paralyze, but it is very much worth 1 rank. Also, some mobs will continuously try to maintain the buff you remove thus occupying the mob from casting offensive spells. Can be a useful tactic when fighting named/boss casters.
