Is Corrosive Vial applying -DEF?

[Eotvos]

[Disclaimer: General consensus is that this is an underwhelming pool power. I get it. But bear with me a sec here...]

 

I'm trying out Corrosive Vial, and I'm not seeing the -DEF debuff in action. When I look in the combat logs, for example, using Brawl or Sands of Mu has the exact same to-hit chance reported against a target before and after it's standing in an active vial patch. My understanding of the power was that it was auto-hit for small DoT -AND- applied a ~15s -DEF debuff.  (There's also no floaty debuff visual around the target mob, fwiw, even when the damage ticks are floating.)

 

Is there a better way to tell if the -DEF debuff is actually being applied?

Something may have broken debuff FX on enemies for some powers. There's a bug thread about warshade slows losing their fx on enemies as well.

Perfect, exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!

You didn't mention your AT, but here are the stats for a blaster

It's great when my defender tosses it. When my blaster tosses it, just a waste of time; one more attack and its dead, so just attack.
