Geo Debuffs don't count toward Trials?

They are still afflicted with a status ailment which is what the trial suggests needs to be done.

It's not the spell itself that inflicts the status ailment. Thus the status ailment is attributed to the Luopan, not to you. Also, GEO status effects are not the same as normal ones, even though they have the same icon.

It doesn't matter who inflicted the status ailment, if a party member used shock instead of me I would still receive credit. Additionally the OP stated (s)he used an indi spell so no luopan involved. Even the though the icon is different a status ailment is still being inflicted, it probably doesn't work just because SE doesn't want it to.

This, as many have done in PvP testing, standing in the bubble gives you the enfeebled effect, no different then being shocked or Helixed, or Threnody. It should work, but again I'm sure it's working as intended, maybe they'll fix it, maybe not. Just a heads up to anyone else who wastes their money on those 700k Indi spells in the hopes they can do this as well.
