Status resistance has a lot of uses at Empress, it's just more convenient when you don't get sent out, or trapped in a tornado, or turned into a pig, or turned into a bomb, or stunned, or have your potentials canceled out, it's pretty much the only boss I care about having 100% status resistance at.
Also, it's not really a double edge sword, having 100% status resistance can't hurt you in any way, the fact that bosses ignore it isn't a problem that arises because you have 100% status resistance. Bosses that ignore stauts resistance pretty much levels the playing field for everyone, except people without Hero's Will, which as I pointed out, has an cooldown too long to really be all that useful. It's also annoying as hell since the bosses that ignore your status resistance have some of the worst effects, like Hard Hilla's cage that can't possibly be broken in time, even if you had a full party of six (which would just make things worse in other ways), so it's pretty much an instant KO (except it's not instant, so it eats up precious time), or potential lock. You can get by some of them, like staying dead until Hard Hilla uses the cage again since it has a fairly long cooldown. You can cleansing pot potential lock, and seduce too, of course, but the cooldown on CPB's seduce and also its Potential Lock is a minute, so he can use it 5 or 6 times by the time you can cleansing pot or Hero's Will again. Oh, and those god damned transformations, I'm pretty sure you can't even Hero's Will out of those, or use a cleansing potion.
i totally agree with you, q.q been screwed so many times cause of not having hero will on mihile/ds. Thank you for informing me about cleansing pots and using status pots.
Lets just agree that kaiser and xenon are just broken over with their 60% status and hero will. Especially kaiser, with its 90 sec hero will cd ._. Nexon needs to rework how status protection actually effects you when mobs use skills. Im not saying they should remove it entirely, but as you mentioned having 100% status is really helpful at certain bosses making soloing possible.
