Deflated Ego's Chance for Recovery Debuff proc message is under the "Damage Inflicted" channel (unlike the Dark Watcher's Despair: Recharge Slow which is recorded under "Healing Delivered").
For Pets it is under "Pet Damage Inflicted" channel. The message will be like this (copied from my Dark Servant's "Pet Damage Inflicted" Channel):
Dark Servant: You reduce Tarantula's recovery rate.

"Chew Electric Death, Snarling Cur!"
I put Deflated Ego in my Lich today and I wanted to see how it does against the foes. I was watching the Pet Combat log the whole time and the proc was never logged. At first I thought maybe it wasn't even working since the -endurance debuff is like non-existant against foes.
So my friend and I went to Warburg and I told him to pay attention to my proc debuffs. He said he's seen Deflated Ego procs on his screen so it is working but just not showing on my Pet's Combat. I have Dark Watcher's Slow Debuff proc in Lich and it is showing in the Pet Combat in "green text". I would assume that Deflated Ego proc not showing in the window is a bug?
By the way, this proc is completely useless. Don't even bother with it. My friend's Dom said he didn't notice any difference during the whole fight. If the proc produces no visible effect in 5mins, I consider it useless.
What's left is to normalize all Assassin Strikes and improve Stalker's old sets (Claw, MA and EM)! You don't need to bring back the missing PbAoE attack. You just need to make the existing ones better! For example, make Slice a WIDER and LONGER cone.
