So… I found out from the forums that petrify is basically stunned and paralyzed. My main question is why put them into a new status effect? It’s just one less symbol on top of your target.
Edit; just found out that petrify also locks your ability away. My bad.
Edit2; nevermind the first edit; apparently I was not right in the head
If anything, I like its visualization. Being darkened is definitely more intuitive than reading which symbols are on top of your character when there’s 4 buffs and 3 debuffs. Hp+, damaging, berserk, and healing really takes a lot of space, now add confused, sick and weakened to that list and waiting for the debuff to run out is faster than reading the icons
Edit; while we’re at this, a relevant link;
