Poison does less damage than a Scourge/Banish over it's full duration. Agreed....They need to be balanced

Slow doesn't make a noticeable difference in the enemy's attack speed, if it does anything at all. I have never actually done a timing study, but I will soon and test this and get back to you.

Bio II and Dia II suffer from the same problem as Poison; less damage than a Scourge or Banish. With Bio up, I don't see any reduction in the damage monsters hit me for. Your not looking then. Write done the numbers from 10 fights with it then 10 fights without it. You will see the off/def reduction

Absorb ATK/DEF/EVA/ACC don't seem to do anything. I don't see any increase in enemy misses or any reduction in the damage they hit me for. On this i have to say WOW, just WOW. Your definently not looking on this one. I can see a very significant increas in my damage output when I track a few numbers.
Paralyze doesn't do anything. If the monster's attack is paralyzed, it just attempts to do it again instantly.
Blind doesn't give me any noticeable difference in the target's accuracy. Paralyze does its jobs, it paralyzes. Blind i havn't checked out in much detail so I can add nothing to that.

Basically, Silence is the only debuff that actually seems to work. Am I missing something here?
All that said, Sleep is my favorite enfeebling ability.
