So I have an anointed champion and I've been wanting to do more buffs/ debuffs and someone mentioned that break the spirit was a good debuff but when reading the power description it says nothing about lowering the targets damage resistance or anything. Can anyone give me some advice on this and some good buff debuff powers?

    BtS lowers the damage the target does by 20-50% (rank 1-4). You should always use empowered BtS so all party members attacking the target also get 10-40% damage bonus.

    Divine Glow is another good buff/debuff skills.

    so, would it be Blessing/Astral x3 ( to get 3 x Divine), 3xDG, Full Empower BtS?

    Some folks like to use Chains of Blazing Light in divinity to build Divine stacks. Or 1 DG + 2 Chains something like that. I'll let you try it out if you like it ;)

    Fully empowered BtS is pretty much the best, unless you need a clutch area heal, in which case emp DG can do the trick. But yeah pretty much only emp BtS on an AC buff DC.

    I think some dps builds would use FF or PoD, but I'd say it's still only better to do that if another DC has BtS covered.

    So, Chains>DG unless needa heal, and Emp BtS. Solo: same as before, then Emp Daunting? Unless in need of a heal. im pretty new to the DC beeen gathering alot of info on the class between here, gfaqs, and little from FB. Sorry lol. im liking the class potential but has some learning curve i need to figrue out i guess. lol

    Speaking of debuffs on DC, I know that Vanguard Banner used to be the go to artifact but they done broke it. I am assuming Champion Banner is also broke, likely sharing the same mechanic....correct?

    I usually go Astral seal > Blessing Battle x 2 (assuming you have 3 divinity with that) > normal divine glow > divinity Divine Glow > Divinity chains x 2 > Empowered Break the Spirit.

    Spamming Divinity Divine Glow doesn't stack anymore like in the past, am I right? Also (as of now) DG doesn't proc weapon enchant, so you are missing on the benefit of weapon enchant if spamming DG.

    yes divine divine glow does not stack. They removed the verbage from the tooltip instead of fixing the power (it never stacked).
