No ripping to shreds, just fixing an issue with having a spell effect when there is no AA effect. The buff was being faded and the bonus recalculated a little too early, so the spell effect was lost and that made the whole thing get skipped.

Does something like this meet your needs? It casts any of the AA/item/spell effects and spell 4789 as the original code did, but it doesn't require that there be an AA/item/spell effect present in order to stop a client from dying and applying the Touch of the Divine effect to them.

bool Mob::TryDivineSave() 
{
	/*
	How Touch of the Divine AA works:
	-Gives chance to avoid death when client is killed.
	-Chance is determined by the sum of AA/item/spell chances.
	-If the chance is met a divine aura like effect 'Touch of the Divine' is applied to the client removing detrimental spell effects.
	-If desired, an additional spell can be triggered from the AA/item/spell effect, generally a heal.
	*/

	sint32 SuccessChance = aabonuses.DivineSaveChance[0] + itembonuses.DivineSaveChance[0] + spellbonuses.DivineSaveChance[0];
	if (SuccessChance && MakeRandomInt(0, 100) <= SuccessChance)
	{
		SetHP(1);

		int16 EffectsToTry[] = 
		{ 
			aabonuses.DivineSaveChance[1],
			itembonuses.DivineSaveChance[1],
			spellbonuses.DivineSaveChance[1]
		};
		//Fade the divine save effect here after saving the old effects off.
		//That way, if desired, the effect could apply SE_DivineSave again.
		BuffFadeByEffect(SE_DivineSave);
		for(size_t i = 0; i < ( sizeof(EffectsToTry) / sizeof(EffectsToTry[0]) ); ++i)
		{
			if( EffectsToTry[i] )
			{
				SpellOnTarget(EffectsToTry[i], this);
			}
		}

		SpellOnTarget(4789, this); //Touch of the Divine=4789, an Invulnerability/HoT/Purify effect
		SendHPUpdate();
		return true;
	}
	return false;
