It is useless. Damaging gear was a viable tactic in Demons Souls. Because both there is no equivalent to the Scraping Spear (a weapon that damaged the target's item durability) and the spell used to damage item durability was nerfed to being completely useless. Except for long runs, durability is usually only important for weapons that sacrifice durability for a special attack (dragon weapons, channelers spear, a few boss weapons and Grant) in Dark Souls. My advice is to hope that it comes back in Dark Souls 2.
