How it works seems inconsistent. Sometimes it’ll prevent negative effects, and others it won’t.
For instance, I just got DM300. He used his exhaust. Before I took dmg from it, I used cleanse. Still was taking dmg despite this.
I’ve also had this happen when I’m on fire - doesn’t cleanse it and I keep burning, even when it’s maxed.
If it gives you a box under your health bar, it’s a status. If not, it’s not a status. Weak, curse, blind and the like are gonna be status effects and can be removed. I believe that burn and bleed can also be removed. But it isn’t a potion of purity. If you are standing in a fire, you will still burn, and you still take damage from normal sources like poison clouds.
That actually makes sense, and is a change from beta. Yet if you proc it before, you can walk through fire or poison
