So do spine drops just… not work?

Sounds like the Paralysis in Eureka Orthos is not included in "most". Only the developers could say for certain whether it is intended or an oversight but I suspect it's probably intended.

They put “most” in descriptions to account for instances that are specifically meant to ignore such things (in this case to account for debuffs that are simply not supposed to be cleansed). Tank invulns for example all have “ignores most instances of damage” in their description to account for, say, an enrage or ultimate attack that will kill you even with an invuln up.

I don’t think it’s the intention of the “most” descriptor to allow them to make it completely arbitrary if they will work or not.

The spine drops did not work with the basilisk thingies in the new Deep Dungeon. I tried, and yes, the usage was not interrupted. Likewise I have tried antidotes on various poisons specifically labelled as Poison and not have them removed, though Esuna would work. Wonder if they should just retire these items... only one that inspires awe is Echo Drops, since it can save your party's bacon in Duty Finder.

I think if they wanted to do that then they would need to give us a cleanse on all classes. Because paralysis is still one of those effects that has a significant effect and tanks and non-bard DPS can't always avoid getting hit with it. The most egregious example I can think of is the trash if a tank doesn't stun it on Puppet's Bunker. Not having the ability to clear your own paralyze there when the healers won't is debilitating for DPS. I always keep Spine Drops handy for that section, even though you usually get hit with it again before they're off CD.

They forgot. Nobody at the company expected any players to keep that trash in their inventory. It's the truth. But there's always someone. I'm not criticizing you for doing so, it's just the most likely explanation.

People who try to solo POTD/HOH and now EO definitely keep a stock of these things on hand.

Looks like this needs a write up or 20 into the bug form.
