DOTs occasionally not showing up on CT bosses.

[Viridiana]

On certain bosses within Crystal Tower, I occasionally have issues applying either Windbiter or Venomous Bite. I have definitely seen this happen (repeatedly) on Acheron; I think I've seen it happen on Thanatos; I don't believe I've seen it on Bone Dragon; and Atomos seems intentionally immune to Venomous Bite.

Date & Time:
Most recently, ~2200 KST 2 January 2014

Frequency:
Sometimes/Often

Character Name:
Aria Placida

Class/Level:
50 BRD

Area and Coordinates:
Crystal Tower (various)

Monster Name:
Acheron (would also recommend investigating the other CT bosses)

Steps:
1) Engage boss in battle
2) Activate Windbiter or Venomous Bite skill
3) On bugged occasions, attack will land, floating text will indicate that status effect was applied to enemy (+Venomous Bite text), but debuff icon will not show up on target status bar.

Additional information:
I've only tested this on my BRD, so I do not know if this happens to other classes as well. As mentioned before, I'm certain it happens on Acheron, and I may have seen it happening to the other bosses as well. I haven't observed this happening outside of CT. I'm ruling out lag because that would not account for the presence of floating text saying debuff was added. I have not checked combat log to see if the debuff is being applied according to the log (currently unfiltered, and I'm not sorting through a whole alliance's text looking for one line, sorry). The oddest thing is that I've seen the bug fix itself mid-fight. The most recent time I had the bug, Acheron was immune to my Venomous Bites (but not those of other BRDs) until the first time he used Ancient Flare; after that, both DOTs were applying properly.

I've had this happen om monk too, but I cannot remember if it was in CT or any other boss.
I remember the mob having a lot of buffs, so it's possible that it was CT. Anyway, the mob didn't have both buffs lines full, so the debuffs should have worked.

Thanks for mentioning this, because I forgot to mention it in my own post. This has been true in each case that I've noticed this.

This has happened to me on my SMR as well. Dot gets applied, but no buff icon shows up on boss's health bar.
