Angon is ok but on any fight that dds have to go /nin the drgs gets the short end of the stick and taking another mnk or nin main would be better. The main reason to take a thf is TH, before they messed with feint merits it used to be a really nice debuff you could keep up full time now its not as useful, again TH is the sole reason to take a thf. Really if debuffing was effective you would see more of it but you don't cause mobs are immune or highly resistant.
debuffing isnt effective because the easier route for ally content is to go bard rotation, people take what they get once brd/cor rotation would get nerfed. trust me. And yes I know blu debuffs dont mostly stick, some however do. And the rotation nerf would give an incentiv to fix those blu debuffs without makeing the game broken.
Debuffing works, just noone does it, because rotation buffing requires less/no work and just a couple of mules. even if potent debuffs are 2/3 of the time up, they still would help alot.
