I have an up and coming Brig and noticed that we have several debuffs. While they look nice on examination, how much do they effect the eb and flow of things? Do they make a huge difference?
Also, I've noticed that Swahies and bards (particularly Dirges) have nice debuffs as well. How do they all stack up? I know we debuff attk rate, defense, parry, Agi and such while Swashies are debuffing dmg %, the mobs offensive skills and more. Are we more of a defensive debuffer while they are an offensive debuffer? From what I'm noticing with my RL friend (Dirge) their debuffs are matching up with ours fairly closely, meaning more defensive debuffs than offensive debuffs.
Just trying to get a feel for the value of my debuffs. It's easy to see what T1 dps classes bring to the table since they are measured in their dmg output alone. But we bring a dmg multiplier to the table and it's hard to see the effect.
Thanks for your input!
