Debuffing

[Manii Names]

<p><span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px;">With the changes to stat effects, what do debuffs (such as those form a Defiler) do now? For example, debuffing wisdom used to have an immediate impact on the mob as then spells hit for more damage. Now it does absolutely nothing if they are not a wisdom-based casting monster?</span></p>

<p>from what i heard the sta debuffs are more effective. Fighter mobs should see a decrease from str debuffs and mage mobs should see a decrease from int debuffs. I didnt really pay too much attention to that in beta though, i just did my normal rotation and used the debuffs.</p>

<p>Stat debuffs now (and also previously) decrease the potency of the mob by archtype.  This is especially noticeable with raid mobs and their rather strong AE abilities.</p><p>The trick of course is knowing what sort of mob you're dealing with so you get the appropriate debuffs on it.</p>
