Rank table
Notes
This spell essentially replaces Cure Disease, as it has the same mana cost while providing an additional benefit. Cure Disease is however still useful in very specific situations when used together with Abolish Disease: if a target is getting affected by diseases faster than Abolish Disease can remove them, a priest can put up Abolish Disease on the target and then repeatedly cast Cure Disease while Abolish Disease is ticking, allowing diseases to be removed much quicker.
Talent improvement
The second-tier Discipline talent Absolution can reduce the mana cost of Abolish Disease by up to 15%. On the next tier, Mental Agility can reduce the mana cost of instant spells (including Abolish Disease) by up to 10%. If one spends the maximum eight talent points in those talents, the mana cost of Abolish Disease can be reduced from 12% of Base Mana to roughly 9% of Base Mana.
The fourth-tier Holy talent Body and Soul gives a 50% or 100% chance for Abolish Disease to remove a poison effect when cast on the player.
