I noticed last night while running nexus that I had to get much closer than normal to get my defense debuff to apply. I mean, it was already to short of a range to begin with and needed to be increased but now it is almost melee range. Almost as bad as the whip at this point.
i noticed this also....not to mention snaptrap doesn't debuff from any distance now also...hardlight debuffs are pretty much MIA...lame.
It seems like they are actually working, but the icons are bugged. Healing icon is MIA completely and entrap is 50-50 if it will show up,
