Best debuff in the game?

Stun. All others may be better in different situations depending on team but in a vacuum stun is #1.
If you could choose to change all the debuffs in your team apples to just one debuff I am sure you would choose stun over buff immunity, daze, or shock.

Deathmark. Best by far.

I'm pretty partial to shock. I have put shock on all 5 toons in GW nodes, and taken out the whole opposing team with Palpatine many times. But seeing him BBQ opponents, then immediately gain 75% TM never gets old. They can't heal, can't gain TM, can't taunt or gain any other buffs, and if they have a counter attacker I'm draining his health without even targeting him. That always brightens my day.

I'm curious with the undispell debuff, the new type debuff. Sabine armor piercing is pretty cool i think. Wanna test that for raid.

But...

I think i'm just poor :cry:

Stun.

Is this really in question? Stun blocks abilities, so it trumps ability block. Have you ever seen a stunned character assist? Yeah, thought not. All TM gained while stunned has to be regained to go again. They won't attack, so with multiple stunners, you are easily fighting five on four, or three, or two, or one...

There should be no debate about it, stun is king.

If you were going to pick a queen, it *has* to be buff immunity. There is nothing like it in the game and the only way to preemptively stop certain problems. What problems? How about zeta Qui Gon, zeta Maul, or ch.aze? How about the auto-taunt on the RG? Ever watch Yoda try to do tenacity up with buff immunity on him? Priceless! Totally wastes his turn. Same thing with any other taunter or Leia. Ah, yeah - preventing stealth, one of buff immunity's strengths.

Why buff immunity? Shock trumps buff immunity in every single way? I agree that Stun is best (except in some very rare occasions, usually involving biggs), but if anything is second, it's not mere buff immunity. Shock is buff immunity, healing immunity AND tm gain immunity all rolled into one (the latter doesn't even exist on its own, only rolled into shock and daze).

Mainly because Shock is delivered by two whole toons in the game - Dooku and Palpatine - IIRC. Moreover, Shock is a single target debuff. Sure, it's great, but the window of opportunity for it is very narrow.

Buff Immunity, on the other hand, can be delivered en masse by, say, TFP or B2. There is no way to deliver shock past a taunt or to an already stealthed character. To me, that limits it. A powerful debuff isn't as good if you can't put it where you really want it.

So, when considering "best debuffs," I'm also taking into consideration accessibility and ease of application.

1)Shock
2)Daze
3)Deathmark
4)Stagger
5)Stun
6)Ability Block

IMO

You can also add Stagger and Burning. Stagger is really helpful in some occasions to remove the whole TM of a toon that is alsmot 100% TM. Burning of course for his evasion down.

Stun is always 100 percent TM lost lol.

Stagger is fundamentally worse than stun.
