But then it just doesn't matter so very few people bother with it. It's pretty routine to see 5-6+ debuff stacks and it just doesn't do enough for anyone to care.

Until you grasp the various nuances of encounter design, then I'm afraid your knee jerk comments and cherry picked examples hold no water with me.

As someone that farmed Skalla for ages, I can attest to this. I never bothered to do that fight correctly because I never died no matter what I did. It's faceroll and not punishing.
