'Heavy' doesn't make the world feel dangerous, it makes it annoying.

They should make it where mobs skills are closer to player versions. It's nice getting hit with a Fire and having it inflict Heavy, or getting hit with Stone and it not.

It's like player versions. When hit from exactly behind, you get Heavy. Melee guys just don't have the time (especially if mounted), and usually self-buff before giving chase.
