Since SF's third skill is considered a buff, would purge work to dispel it? If yes, will it reset the souls or just disable it for some time?

No it cannot be purged. For further detail you can take a look on the wiki.

Purging buffs/debuffs is considered a Normal Dispel

You cannot Dispel necromastery. See here: http://dota2.gamepedia.com/Dispel#Normal_Dispel

I'm not gonna list them all.

List of abilities that cannot be removed by normal dispels:

Sand King - Burrowstrike - Stun

Sand King - Caustic Finale

Shadow Demon - Soul Catcher

Shadow Demon - Demonic Purge

Shadow Fiend - Necromastery

Shadow Fiend - Requiem of Souls - Aura

Shadow Shaman - Shackles

  • SF maybe not as strong as AM,PL,Spectre etc. I agree. I am just saying SD is viable against SF(6 slotted) because of purge through BKB,free aura for SD team , as opposed to the above comment about unviable. Thats all.

  • @Gowtham Haha I know. I'm not disagreeing with you. Just wanted to add in that I think Shadow Fiend is way too overrated.
