Buff and Debuff, Damage Over Time System
In Amazon’s MMORPG New World, a status effect whether it is a positive (Buff) or negative (debuff) is a temporary modification a player’s attributes, this is most commonly caused during combat. Further, New World has a more in-depth damage over time system than just another “bleed”. Damage Over Time is exactly what the name sounds like, it is a type of debuff but instead of reducing attributes, it causes x amount of damage to the player over a period of time.
These effects can be caused by weapon skills or player skills in New World. As of currently observed and tested, Fayie has not found any diminishing effects when applying debuffs or DoTs in succession.
