so after reading and discussing on this http://forums.spiralknights.com/en/node/24386, it got me thinking about new and viable ailments and it hit me

type 1: this type would lower any armor's defense value of the 3 types of specialized damage.

Breached: lowering Piercing resistance
Malice: lowering Shadow resistance
Ruin: lowers Elemental resistance

if armor doesn't have resistance to say piercing i doubt Breached would affect you since you have no armor against piercing and since T1 is all normal damage i doubt you'll see this type

type 2: this type would reduce resistances to ailments, since resistances can go into the red like http://wiki.spiralknights.com/Chaos_Cowl this type would decrease your resistances whether your armor as them or not

hypothermia: lowers freeze resistance
hyperthermia: lowers fire resistance
conductor: lowers shock resistance
concussion: lowers stun resistance
possessed: lowers curse resistance
virulence: lowers poison resistance
drowsy: lowers sleep resistance

naturally there will would need to be changes like what afflicts which ailment and balancing but i think i have said enough

hmm dispel? i don't know about that, at first i thought of Wither then Conduit and finally Nature dissonance but none of them sounded right or rolled off the tongue well

Dispel would be like the enemy Dispelling your Elemental defense, ya know, like how Dispel works in FF games.

No one needs to get the reference, Dispel just means getting rid of something.

The ailments seem weak and

The ailments seem weak and boring in comparison to the existing ones. Having many separate ones is a lot more complicated than just putting it all into "poison" and does contribute close to nothing to gameplay if you compare it to an imaginary balanced version of the poison status effect (you know - like it'd be if OOO gave it some love).

Also the addition of things like that would most likely ruin about everything that has already been done for status, damage, armor, weapon balancing and those are still far from perfect anyway. Even if there could be some few game-play elements with those addition that people *might* sometimes notice or even use (and I think they would mostly get ignored.), it'd by far not be worth the mess you'd make with all the little changes.
