Status Effects on enemies

[Steven Silverheart]

Do the status effects do anything else than add base damage to the attacks? Like poison for example.... i've tried to get it to activate some sort of DoT on the enemies but i've been unable so far. Im talking about the Enhancer consumables you coat your weapon with.

Anyone have any ideas about this and how it works?

Poison applies poison effect, poison is a slow damaging DOT.
Fire applies flame effect (Not burn.) it is a mid damaging dot. (Poison lasts longer.)
Electricity is a stamina inhibiting effect, only really works on humans.
Water is a freezing effect, causes their animations to slow.

Does it work? Yes, do you have to hit them a lot to apply it? Also yes, specific enemies are weaker to specific things.
