The problem with high status resistance, like 60%, is how easily you can go from 60% to 100%. When Demon Slayer came out, it was 80%, so I leveled my Willpower so I'd have 100% (but I only got to like 84, which is +16%). Now, it's 60%, but it's so much easier to get to 100%. Firstly, there's the card, which boosts me from 60% to 64%, and then resistance potions have become widely more accessible, plus I can make pretty much as many as I want with Evo World and the wonderful Juniper Berry core, which takes me from 64% all the way to 94%. Then, I'd only need 6% from Willpower, which is level 30 (which is where I stopped on my Kaiser). Cake. It barely matters at all if you have Hero's Will or not.
Most of the new bosses have attacks that ignore status resistance completely, so Hero's Will would be useful there, but the long cooldown makes it pretty bleh. You'd only be able to use it a max of 10 times, assuming the boss has an hour timer (CPB), while many of them (Hard Hilla) have half an hour timers, so that's only like 5 times it can save you (which is still pretty good I guess, if those statuses put you in danger of dying) (Except on Kaiser, since you can reset the cooldown every 90 seconds, leading to much more use). There's also cleansing potions, which are arguably better with only 5 minute cooldowns AND they can cancel out Potential Cancel (of course, it'd be even better if you had cleansing potions and hero's will).
Can you use a resistance pot and a Cleansing pot? I thought unless your alchemist by using the cleansing it would nullfiy resistance since you only use 1. I can see your arguement, that having 100% status is OP(which it is), considering the 5 new link skills that give 5% status each can easily put, anyone with 100% status. But its a double sided sword like how you now mentioned that bosses now have the ability to completely ignore statuses with certain skills. The only good thing about having 100% status is seduction protection pretty much. Nexon needs to work a new way how status effects it. Because if you could get seduced while having 100% status, actually having a bishop in the party or paladin, would be very nice
