It is perhaps a bit too overpowered.

With current new noob friendly feature "your charged weapon wont loose charge when you get attacked" it would be terribly overpowered.

Yerp, but they also always have a good chance to inflict the status and almost always afflict to at least one target in the mist who has been standing in it for at least two seconds.

"Minor" for our statusesuses seems to only be about three seconds of being afflicted with the status. Three seconds of curse. That means it might make them hurt themselves from the status once or twice before it wears off.

No one has been able/willing to find that "perfect" mechanic for it.

Not even I would be able to do so. I would be willing to attempt it, but every attempt would either be overpowered or useless.

I know you mean imbalance, but IMBA has another connotation.

overpowered

Bring forth values of all degrees and durations of statuses(usesusesuses) and the means to test in a hands-on program as though I were actually using the weapon. And a cake. To headbutt.

My process is not think-until-I-soil-myself; in fact, most of my thought process is derived from my learning style: logic/mathematic. The world is a giant puzzle of some sort. Sometimes it comes to me in minutes, other times I have to eat a sandwich to get gears turning; other times I roll around in mud until it comes to me. That last one rarely works because mud is distracting. When pure math is all it needs I break down on numbers, but other than that there are a few outgrowths on the way down the chasm.

You spelled my name wrong. Derpulus.

Would it be really that unbalanced? It would be minor so how much damage would it really do? It would only last around 2 attack for most enemies. Would it do more damage than the fire bomb that is out right now? Have it be shadow to break the monotony of elemental haze bombs. I think it would be a great support bomb in a group of 4. Obviously it would need some balancing but it this really that unreasonable? Even if an enemy is constantly cursed it ony can attack so often. Might make devilites a little bit easier which some people will like. In LD it might be a little bit unbalanced but i think only one weapon would be cursed. Given what we have already i don't think it would be pushing it at all.

Sometimes, neither do I.

Which is why they keep me in this box.

The reason this would be difficult to balance is to find that middle ground between the duration completely dominating all other Vaporizer bombs or not lasting long enough for anything to happen. If we knew what the exact values were for duration and affliction probability this would be somewhat easier, but without those values all we can do is shoot hoops while blind folded. And we have no idea what direction the backboard is. Or if we are even in the court. In space.

We can share some drinks.
