Petrified players should receive a PDT bonus while petrified.

[Chryseis]

No matter how much someone will say its luck of the draw or that the healers should've been farther away isn't any excuse.
We have a weak version of break (that'll go into another debate) that acts like a 30 second bind/sleep on mobs it actually does affect.
However, for mobs using their own version against us, it is a high chance that the mob would kill everyone before petrify wears (pretty sure a good amount of people have had that problem before).
So I'm requesting that while we're petrified, we gain a 20%~40% PDT resistance. After all, we're unable to do any actions, and for god forsaken reasons, sometimes that petrify lasts beyond 5 minutes.
Now before anyone says "But we have a mantle that gives -20% PDT when petrified!" how many people will carry that around, or actually even see it on the AH, not to mention its not all jobs?
We have more than a handful of mobs that can petrify and we face them more often than mobs that will charm people. Not to mention, not every little expedition will have a healer ready to remove that debuff (especially if it was breakga and the healer is caught).
Just a simple request, after all it would've been stoneskin because your skin should've been rock hard from being petrified.

Who doesn't carry a PDT set or at least an earth staff with them to gearswap into when petrified and in range of danger?

The way I see it, Petrify and Terror don't turn you to stone. Rather, it's a mental attack that causes you to think you cannot act (or in the case of terror, even locks your muscles). The Sand Mantle turns you to stone while under the effect, which is why it gives PDT -20%. Besides, no amount of PDT- is going to save you if you're petrified for 5 minutes, since the enemy will likely follow up with Stonega V or similar magical effect.

Besides, what mobs have an 30' aoe Break that lasts 5 minutes even though relevant jobs would have a fair chance of outright resisting it if geared and buffed properly?
