For what it's worth, in my mod Scales I buffed the application chance to 125% and made the status decrease movement speed by 50% and damage by 30%, so even if it doesn't go through, it has a good effect. Haven't actually used it yet, but theoretically it should be much better. Does that sound like it goes far enough (assuming it actually functions correctly, isn't purged by other statuses, actually kills after 3 rounds, etc)?
