Perhaps we should test it? I have a D3 so i'll try it out tomorrow and let you know if out of 100 standard attacks, it is debuffing as intended or above/below 
Just bare in mind that it depends on what type of en's are being used too..
yeah, good idea. If you need a punch-bot (or a darkest night user) then I'll give you a hand if I'm around. I'll just say that I was using my corruptor at the time, and there have been instances in the past of powers being bugged for one AT and not another (eg Lingering Radiation).

Heya,
After trying this out over a few nights, and comparing it with the effect that radiation infection has, RI seems to be way more effective yet that should not be the case, right? Of course peoples slotting could well have been different so I might just be imagining things, but I might also be right. Does anyone else find it doesn't help you out that much?

I've not noticed any problems on my Ice/Dark Corruptor. Though, you know, if the devs want make it better, I wouldn't complain. 
I do say that not comparing it to RI though, since my only toon with RI is a Controller, and I don't really have her build in a reasonable state for PvP at the moment. I'm just going on the fact that I can stand toe-to-toe with a lot of Scrappers without any problem - I have more trouble with people with builds highly specialised for PvP, and people with Aim and Build Up, but I figured that was to be expected.
I checked Force Bolt on Hero Builder after our fight. Seems that it does have a good accuracy anyway. Still I didn't notice it missing much less at any point.
Got to say I have found darkest night not that good in PvP with my master it just dont seem to do any thing to peoples acc and I have S.O.s in it 4 slots one end red and 3 acc debuffs.

MM Darkest Night is less potent than the Corruptor version - on its own it's not enough to beat PvP slotting of 2/3 Acc, you have to keep stacking your other -Acc debuffs on top (Twilight Grasp, Fearsome Stare) to make full use of it. Against players with only 1 Acc in their attacks though, I've found it pretty effective.
