Good Debuff Spells

[Ryu_Bonkosi]

I am currently looking for good debuffing spells, particularly ones that have an area effect. If there is some compilation of good utility debuffs can someone point me in the right direction?

[The Rabbler]

For which class are we speaking?

[Ryu_Bonkosi]

Particularly Wizard, Bard and Cleric but any debuffing spells help for future reference.

[Feytalist]

Anything with dispel somewhere in the name, I would suspect. Dispel magic, dispelling strike, dispelling blast, greater dispel magic, and so on.

The other choices are mostly spell-specific. Haste for slow, flesh to stone for stone to flesh, calm emotions for fear, etc.

I don't know of any compilation of good debuff spells, so why don't we make one here? to start with wizard,

I think there should be an Edvard's black tentacles in there somewhere, while not technically a targeted debuff, it hinders the enemy a lot (which is the meaning of a debuff anyway) (lol AOE insane grapples)


Also, for the warlock's invocations:

least: earthen grasp (same reason as edvard's balck tentacles), miasmic cloud, voice of madness

essences: frightful blast, sickening blast

lesser: curse of despair, stony grasp (see edvard's black tentacles), voracious dispelling

essences: Beshadowed blast, Hellrime blast (DoT is not considered a debuff)

greater: chilling tentacles (see edvard's black tentacles), enervating shadow, Teancious plague (because of it's distraction ability), devour magic,

essences: Bewitching blast, Noxious blast, repelling blast (a maybe, making people fall prone makes them lose dex to AC, and thus vulnerable for sneak attacks, which is a debuff if normally you are not)

Dark: Dark discorporation (under circumstances), (when dispelled) retributive invisibility, Word of changing

essences: Utterdark blast

[The Rabbler]

I don't consider Evard's Black Tentacles to be a debuff because it doesn't actually do anything to them. It's a battlefield control spell because it lets the caster decide how the battle is going to work for the next few rounds; such is the definition of a battlefield control spell.
