debuff

1. Negative effect(s) placed on an avatar in a video-game world. (Usually used in MMO's).

1. To remove a 'buff' (MMORPG term used to describe positive effects on your avatar). This is a much less used application of the word 'debuff', the word 'dispel' is used more commonly instead.

God I fucking hate the Mortal Strike debuff, it makes healers almost worthless in Arenas!
