Incomplete description in Plant Manipulation: Toxins

[srmalloy]

If you right-click on the icon for 'Toxins' from the Plant Manipulation powerset and select 'Info', you will get a window stating "You use your power over plants to coat all your attacks with powerful toxins for a few seconds, all your attacks will now do extra toxic damage and be more accurate." If you click on the 'Detailed Info' tab, the only power effect listed is " +20.00%% to hit for 10.00s on self" -- no suggestion that you're getting any additional damage at all, toxic or otherwise. Since this is the 'Build Up' power of the Plant Manipulation set, it should be giving a damage bonus similar to its analogues in other powersets.

It's weird, but it is consistent with how they've handled powers that are just a flat bonus damage of a given type in the past. Fire Armour's "Fiery Embrace" adds fire damage but according to the detailed info in game, does nothing at all. It's not actually giving +damage, it's giving you a proc with a 100% chance to fire on all of your powers.
