Its funny considering how long i've played, and my main on hib was a chanter, I actually have no idea how debuffs work exactly (besides reducing the resist.. duh). meh who am i kidding, I AM A NOOB!! :worthy:

My questions are:

Can you have 2 debuffs on the same target?

I.e. Cold debuff AND Energy debuff?

Does the debuff drop after you nuke?

I.e. Do I need to debuff after each nuke?


Simple questions I know, but something I always wondered.

Just wondering if with a RC RM and a Dark SM they can debuff each others nukes, which seems quite deadly to me!

The duration is 8 seconds (if i remember correctly) but is affected by resists

so in reality, around 4-5 secs?


:touch:

only debuffs debuffing your own dmg - like heat debuff for chanter lasts 8s - the others, cold and matter lasts like 15 sec.

Also don't forget that even a 50% debuff doesn't debuff for 50% but for less, don't know the exact formula but with capped resists after a 50% resists you still have 7% resists in the resists that was debuffed.

its split so a 50% debuff takes 25% off your primary resists and 25% off your second tier resists. So with say 26% primary resists up you still have some resistance despite being debuffed for "50%" .

Weird in spell description says that debuffs last 30 second (resist debuff), so should stick for more than 15 secs unless the target resists are calculated to reduce length before debuff lands. And yes, you can debuff all resists on a target, they dont overwrite. Usually we go like this: debuff 30% energy, rm double bolts target, then he does 50% cold debuff for rest of nukers, when bolts are back up supposing fight is not over, he gets a new energy debuff on a key class that cant be in combat (casting healing spells or such etc), and matters a lot, also the sweet fast cast time on debuff makes it worth to throw in before nuking :>

Debuffs are effected by resists, so although are supposed to last x amount of time, in reality last less.
Its fun debuffing for your debuff.
Ie, Alb body debuff is spirit, so debuff for it first and it lasts longer, although not really worth it power wise.
