“THE DEBUFFS

The duration of a debuff is 10 seconds.

Defense Debuff (Red Shield)
This is your most commonly requested debuff and should be put on a boss at all times. Cast this debuff on NPC's that your team is focus firing. It will lower a NPC's defense by 33%. At the same time it lowers their damage prevention from the standard 15% to 10% while the debuff is active. Most NPCs have a standard 15% damage mitigation. You essentially pierce 5% of their armor. If players wear Penetrating Strikes, the targeted enemy prevents 6.67% damage. With 8 players focus firing damage to the debuffed target, this adds up to a lesser geared 9th member in the raid. From that point of view, consider this a group buff.

In PvP, it will remove 3797 Toughness on human players.

Powers: Gauss Grenade & Stasis Field

Damage Debuff (Red Cross Hair)
This debuff is used to lower an enemy's total damage output. This debuff is also additive. It will decrease a NPC's damage output by 7%. When most NPCs gain a damage buff, their damage is only slightly increased. On some NPCs, it will also remove their damage buff entirely (Dr Light in Prison Break Elite & James in Desecrated Cathedral. Most one shots by a boss will always be a one shot. A reduction of 7% won't save you or your teammates from a 10,000 hit (depending on their health & Combat Rating). A Controller, Healer, or Damager won't see a significant difference in damage reduction by most enemies from this debuff in PVE. But a tank might just barely make it through an attack that is hitting for a high amount. If the tank requests it, apply it for them. Healer shields and other personal shields through powers or consumables provide greater protection from powerful damage. But you can use them and this debuff as a way to reduce damage taken.

In PvP, this removes the damage modifier buff from the DPS and reduces damage out by 7%.

Powers: Vortex Cannon & Paralyzing Dart

Healing Debuff (Red Heart)
This will lower an enemies overall ability to receive heals (not common in PVE). This debuff is additive. It reduces a NPC's ability to receive heals by 25%. There are few instances in which this debuff may be helpful. You can use this in Inner Sanction on the second boss. He receives heals from Repair Bots. You can apply it on Brainiac in PBG to reduce heals coming into Brainaic from the healer drones. You can also use it in Paradox Wave against the Bosses that heal themselves. Keep it up at all times on them to get the most benefit.

Ultimately, if you're running a raid with strong Damagers/DPS you don't need this debuff because the NPC's will take more damage than their heals can recover.

In PvP, The healing debuff reduces heals IN to your opponent by 25%.

Powers: Napalm Grenade & Cryo-Foam

Debuffs regarding PvP from Tunso a SOE Developer:
"You may actually decide to start putting something like Gag Glove Vortex Cannon/Sleep Dart or Cryokinesis on your bar for PvP. Right now the damage debuff lowers the final damage total by 7%. But for buffed characters in the damage role going from 150% to 143% isn't too big of a deal. But in GU 14, the damage debuff will strip away the Damage role buff taking the wind out of the DPS's sails. Note this is remove, not prevent so the DPS can recast a power to get the buff again."
