Yeah, there's a lot of redundant CC. As the skills flesh out it'll probably get better, but right now there's a ton of "get tagged, miss a turn" stuff. Even the cures are redundant, just waiting or applying magical armour. There's no Helping Hand and very few ways to apply the Warm status, so if someone's knocked down or frozen there's little the party can do to help them aside from lighting them on fire.

Instead of a ton of hard stops, I think you're right when it'd be better to have each status do something different.
