Geo Debuffs don't count toward Trials?

I think SE just forgot to add these new status ailments to the trial conditions. It doesn't seem they did a lot of testing with several expansion elements.

We know the status effect doesn't have to be enfeebling magic - I used helices for all of mine. We know it doesn't have to be you that inflicts the mob because status effects put on by party members count. We know the status ailment is present on the mob, with an icon, because of PvP. There really isn't a sensible reason Geomancy enfeebles shouldn't work for these trials.

I don't accept that this is intentional just based on SCH storm behavior. Allowing storms to work, as much as I would like it, would make the day/weather requirement virtually meaningless. so I can see a "reason" not to allow them. I don't see anything overpowered about GEO spells working.

Edit: Maybe the AOE aspect would make SE think it's overpowered here? As far as AOE status, I remember doing Manifestation+Absorbs on SCH with a BLM doing -ga, but at least that required two people.

But that's like saying BLMs Ajaing stuff down for the Potency Trial Staffs is Overpowered. I think it's like you've said, they probably overlooked it and will adjust it in the next major update (2-3 months from now -_-.) I'm sure with all the unbalanced and poorly tested content that came from this expansion, this is a very low priority.

Just an update, Indi-Gravity did not work for the Wind Acc Trial staff either. =\ I hope this is just a small overlooked glitch and not working as intended. Geo is pretty useless in it's current state, this was the only reason I leveled it.
