    Status Immunity Gear

    Would it be too much to ask that we get some gear that gives us status immunity without dropping our item level down significantly? As is, the only thing we have is The Butcher's Crown which is a measly item level 55 and only grants a 5% decrease to the duration of status effects. Still, that's only a minor decrease in duration across the board. I'm asking for something that grants full status immunity....

    Of course, granting full immunity across the board is out of the question, since everyone could equip the item and be fully immune to every status. I'm proposing more of a series of items, each of which grant immunity to singular effects. I would say to put these items as rings, meaning that you can only have up to two status immunities at a time, and that it doesn't have as much of a stat decreasing effect as something taking up another slot. Whether or not these rings have stat boosting effects as well is of course up to SE, mostly in regards to whether they want it to be a major trade off in favor of stat immunity, or a minor trade off that only slightly decreases stats....

    The main reason I'm wanting this is simple. As a caster, status effects can render us completely useless. Status effects like paralysis are harmful to melee DPS or Tanks, but it hits frequently enough that we casters can barely get a single charge cast spell off without it interrupting. This leaves us with instant-cast spells alone if the healers aren't quick with esuna/leeches, (which most seem to forget about even if the tank isn't in the process of dying). What's more is that we also have to deal with silence which doesn't have any effect on non casters except for Paladins on occasion. These two alone can turn the tide of battle from a sure victory to a near instant loss if all the healers are hit with them at once. That's of course not counting the ones like stun, slow, sleep and petrify that are detrimental to everyone.....

    I am aware that not every caster has issues with these effects, and that even some non casters have major problems with them. I am also aware that asking for an item set to be included in the game is a stretch. I also don't propose that boss specific effects such as doom have immunity items. That being said, I know I'd be willing to trade a few stat points in exchange for being able to keep fighting.....

    What, you actually want them to introduce a Ribbon?

    How game-breaking!

    Welcome to the world of SE's logic where resist simply does not effect or have any beneficial causes. They're skeptical about heavily modified status modifiers including defense. Tank's hp hitting boiling point constantly and healers heavily spamming heals is what they enjoy.

    If you PvP black drops say hello.

    They don't help that much but they do help.
