Wow. I totally agree with labrat on this one. Thanks for saving me from having to make a long post.
As for the soloing the four 3-dot yellow mobs. I would also like to have an idea what kind of equip he had, what kind of buffs he had, etc. I personally find that a bit far-fetched. Also the mob can make a difference too. I've fought some 3-dotters that are a hell of a lot easier than others, there is no way in hell I could ever take on 3 though. Then again, I'm only level 16 too...

As I climb through the ranks of DC, I see the appropriate debuff attach itself to the mob I'm attacking. But once I get DC3, I still only see Wave of Despair, not Fell Aura, which should be the DC3 debuff applied to the mob. So is the mob not getting the appropriate DC3 debuffs?
Also, it seems like the debuff cancels somehow and gets reapplied a few seconds later, but that debuff can be absent for a swing or two, and that does matter.
Worth looking into?

Yeah, I noticed that too. The DC icon attatched to the mob pops up, goes away, pops up, goes away. Dunno if that's intended. Highest one I ever see on it is DCII (Wave of Despari) as well. However, if I look up towards my buffs though, it shows DCIII (Fell Aura). Which leads to another question. Why is DC showing in our buff window of our UI and not our Maintained Abilities window? That confused me when I first started playing because I wasn't sure if my own DC affected the mob AND myself. I can understand our words, siphon strength, etc being in our buff window...because those are beneficial effects that are applied directly to us, but DC has no business being there. Yes it is beneficial, but it is not applied directly to our character...let alone the description can be confusing to a newcomer that they'll think it's an effect hurting them (like I wondered).
As for the whole icon showing and disappearing on the mob. My only explaination is that it pops up just to signify that you increased your DC on that attack...but I don't get why it only shows up no higher than "Wave of Despair." So is DC even working correctly? I don't know, I'm only speculating. Anymore I just follow the 'counter' to the left of the offensive target window because that seems to show what lvl your DC is at (each dot representing level and the red bar is progress towards the next level of DC).
