Judging from the skill tree of the werefox, and having extensive mmorpg experience, it appears that the werefox in parties is supposed to be support dps, but with a focus on debuffing. My question however, is how noticeable is the debuffing, and this question is mostly aimed at EP, since healers are always the first to notice their job getting easier when a debuffer is in the party. Are any of the WF debuffs aoe? or are they all single target? And for the difference between fox form, and caster form, it also appears that fox form is specifically for pvp / pve, while caster form is for solo pve, or support dps in groups. What are your thoughts, or theorycraft? If you have actually had experience with a werefox in the above situationsa and have a comment please state it's your experience. However if you're just theorycrafting please state that as well.

However if you're just theorycrafting please state that as well. firstly, werefoxes only have one debuff called banish malediction. when you are higher leve you can choose to use god or evil. the god one gives banish malediction a 5m aoe while evil lowers its cooldown by 25 seconds. if u are talking about pve, werefoxes rarely need to use debuff. normally, monsters cast their skills when they are dying and die before you even notice and bother to debuff. in pvp, debuffing is indispensible. you can never win a archer w/o debuff. it is more useful in dueling since people dont use pots while dueling and the time they use to rebuff (if they choose to do so) will usually seal the match in your favour. in pking, the initial cooldown for the debuff is usually too long. you are right to say fox form is for pvp and pve while caster form is only for pve. caster form in pvp does nothing but give people the thrill of killing you. even as a con caster or light armour caster, warriors and archers usually kill you in a few seconds while you raise your hand to cast spells. on the other hand fox form is much much stronger in pvp, with lots of life and a pet to make up for a low damage (lower than warriors/archers/mages). with life depriver and intersoul switch, you just cant die. as for pve, both are good though mages are easier to play. fox form tend to rely much on your pet. the main thing about werefoxes is that you will have a lot of money because you dont have to buy pots, infact my inventory usually overflows with potions from picking from monsters and i have to give them to friends or npc them. so use money to your advantage (for getting good equipment, socketing equipment with high lvl stones etc etc). werefox is a very fun and versatile class to play

I've heard of heavy armor wearing WF, but how do they allocate stats, and what are the disadvantages of that?

check out this guide: http://www.perfectworld.cc/forum/yaf_postst284_FAQS--WereFox.aspxit tells you some of the advantages and disadvantages of the many different builds. as for stat allocation, add strength and agility to the requirements of the heavy armour of your level. in the guide, the poster reccomends the lvl 22 golden sword which requires 66 int to equip. its not exactly the easiest item to come by as you need to do a lot of the lvl 19fb (iron tablet quest). the bosses can drop molders used to mold these gold weapons at dragon city. the rest of your stats should go to constituition. it is impossible to out damage other people with your character alone (not counting your pet), so aim to out last them to add, heavy armour werefoxes are one of the best in melee pvp.
