Re: Traited version of Their Weapons Shall Not Harm Us broken?
i can confirm that what you are experiencing, i experience as well. but bugged? it does according to what the tooltip describes. "you have foreseen that your allies will not be poisoned, wounded, feared, or diseased. the next time such an attack hits an ally, a debuff will be removed and your ally's resistance will increase for a period of time." it doesn't claim to prevent an illness. it claims to remove the next one that is applied. so it's better not to use this skill for acid t2 and let your fellows run from the group and pot it/let it expire. if only the skill worked as you desired it to work. this would be more difficult to code though, preventing illnesses from actually occurring.

It is working as intended, just not the way you intend it to work.
In T2 Acid you need to pot away from your group otherwise it spreads to everyone. Putting up that skill doesn't prevent it from occurring - that's never been how that skill works - they do occur, only they are removed instantly or 'absorbed'. So removing that acid debuff instantly will with that skill will drop the acid pool right on the group and cause it to spread to everyone else. I do agree it should simply say 'Absorb' and not cause any damage to the group, only that's not the mechanic of the fight sadly.
Best thing you can do is to not use it at all in that fight.

Sorry I should have been more clearer - what I meant is that it doesn't cure the disease debuff at all. The TWSNHU buff is removed but the disease doesn't get cured, it remains on your character. (So there's no fear of the disease spreading through auto-cure because it doesn't appear to auto-cure disease).

It does disappear on you, but when it automatically gets rid of your disease and you spread it to those around you.. those who also have TWSNHU automatically "pot" it as well with that buff so it re-infects you.
