Shadow Demon

Disseminate Interactions

 * Despite the ability's description, neither pauses the duration nor dispel Disseminate.
 * The Disseminate buff or debuff is reapplied based on the remaining Disseminate duration once Disruption ends based on whether either ability is applied as a buff or debuff. This affects the following things:
 * If both Disseminate icon.png Disruption icon.png abilities are applied as a buff (or debuff) on the affected target, the reapplied duration will result as a buff (or debuff respectively), regardless of the remaining Disseminate duration.
 * If the Disseminate icon.png Disruption icon.png abilities are applied as a buff and the other as a debuff on the affected target, the buff type of the resulting reapplied remaining duration depends on the difference of the remaining duration.
