Details

Debuffing is an important aspect of everquest. It will make your adventure easier and safer.

Some examples

Debuffing a mob's magic resistance will make them less resistant to magic based spells, such as enchanter's charm or magic based damage spells.
Debuffing a mob's AC will increase on average the melee damage it takes.
Debuffing a mob's STR will decrease on average the melee damage it does.
Debuffing a mob's Attack Speed will essentially reduce it's melee damage by that #% by making it swing slower.
