How do they work exactly?
If i use my str/con debuff on mobs i get massive agro, if i just use single debuffs like dex there seems to be no aggro increase. Is that how they worked on live servers?

what you mean? debuff doesn't break root but it breaks mezz. You also agro a mob with it if nobody is there to attack or taunt.

In a Grp? While solo xping? Where the Mobs dmg before you debuffed them?
Debuffs should only draw aggro if the mob wasnt dmg before it iirc

I mean like taunt styles. If i use str/con debuff that will increase the attention of mobs on hitting me.

Both, solo and in group. Just if the mob is taunted hard before, it won't attack on the debuffer - simple attacking them is not enough, has to be a taunt or greater dmg on the mob.

I feel debuffs generate more threat than they used to, sometimes 2 hits from a pet dont draw aggro from me after a debuff pull. But I cant back that up...

Can we have some admin feedback here, please? I know "send us some screenshots from 1895 to prove" but cmon, try it out - debuffs taunt a ****** lot.

this has been a bug since ages on Uthgard. The aggro-amount is absolutly over the top in regards to taunt-styles^^. On live you can debuff without this amount of aggro (as far as i can rembember you cannot even pull mobs with debuffs, only casted resistence-debuffs created aggro. so you can debuff mobs before attacking/pulling them)
you might have some time to create a quick test-account and make a new issue thread.

Wrong. Debuff shouldnt break any mezzes (simple rule, things that can interrupt a cast will also break mezz). Only resistence-debuffs, e.g. 50% Body debuff, will break mezzes.

Debuff aggro seems indeed to high. On live it created hardly any aggro.

ANd i guess you're both right. Stat Debuffs don't break mezz on players but on mobs and pets.

This was a change in a later patch level, I used to pull with insta ae s/c debuff on my necro in POC, I almost cried after they changed that. ^^

Base STR and DEX debuffs generate quite an amount of aggro for me as well while spec Haste debuff doesn't
Admittedly I'm not familiar with how much threat they should produce this patch though
