Debuff cap?

[Obsidiann]

Is there a debuff cap? My usual debuffs go Marred Psyche, Breakdown and Tashiana, then the usual. I just grouped with a Brigand and we timed dispatch/my mental debuffs on a lot of mobs. Thing is, I wasn't hitting any harder than I would with just my own debuffs. Is there a debuff cap? If so, what is it?

I'm not certain on these things but would of thought the most you could debuff a mob's resistance to is zero? with the combination of tashiana and marred psyche etc its quite possible you take down some mobs to zero by yourself?

<p>I think there might be. A very easy and useful way to test it is with the servant of Mistmoore. The nuke is a single and large number, never changes except with debuffs and crits.</p>

<p>According to the Devs, the most you can debuff a mob is to make his resists % go down to 50%. Which means taking away all his bonus to resists, and then going into the negative enough to make him -50%.</p><p>In effect, you can only do up to double damage by debuffing.. although you should land pretty much all your hits at that point.</p><p>The physical number required to do this would be different for each mob.
