The initial debuff cannot be purged, however the silence/disarm can be. You have basic vision over the Last Word target while the initial debuff is on it. Last Word does not trigger on item use. Channeling skills will activate this even if they are canceled. Last Word damage will trigger before any kind of spells, including magic immunity and damage-reflect spell.
