Introduction

Three advanced classes in SWTOR have cleanses, abilities which can dispel certain negative effects like CCs and debuffs. Two tech-based classes, Operative and Mercenary, and one Force-based class, Sorcerer (and their respective Republic mirrors), have cleanses, as given in the table below.

There are four types of negative effect: Force, mental, tech and physical. There are also untyped effects, which cannot be cleansed (e.g., Carbonize and Neural Surge).

All Operatives and Mercenaries can cleanse tech and physical effects. Medicine Operatives and Bodyguard Mercenaries can also cleanse mental effects.

All Sorcerers can cleanse Force and mental effects. Corruption Sorcerers can also cleanse physical effects.

This is summarised in the table below.
