Charge attacks help everyone, don't be foolish. I've seen enough players before the patch actually use brandish charges successfully. Glacius freeze + anything else = dead.

There is resist for Nitronome and RSS, it's called Normal for the former, and Elemental/Piercing for the latter. Admittedly it is harder to resist RSS due to the dual nature, however, it benefits mostly from getting a direct hit otherwise it is an annoyance, but other than that just about everyone and their mother has normal resist in LD.

Anyway, I'll agree but I don't see anything useful changing concerning this. What I'd like to add is:
1) Stop the delay from status procuring. If you enter the haze without resist, you get hit with it, nuff said. Because even without resist a striker can actually dash in and hit ya. Suicidal of course, but entirely possible.

This second point is even less likely to happen but I'd still like to see it.
2) Eliminate status immunity to haze bombs. Just make it go down to 1 second if you're at max, all other weapons still stand chances of dealing their status regardless of resist. They just reduce duration and/or strength of the status effect, so why not give haze some sort of lower end floor to make it so people won't blindly rush into them and y'know, actually use a gun. Those with max who rush in won't get trapped if it's an instantaneous effect because they'll get hit with the status on the edge of the radius, after their 1 second passes they can rush away from the bomber instead of towards them, or shoot them afterwards. Even with max CTR, you wouldn't be able to freeze lock a max freeze person (Max charge time is about 1.7 seconds), but you would be able to stop them for a second and make them run away or shoot you.
