How can you find any challenge in a game where your plans never fail? How is it strategic when there are no decisions to be made, no possibilities to consider, no cost-benefit to be weighed when something may or may not work?
100% CC effectiveness is an abomination in a turn based strategy game. It removes the strategy completely and turns into something with which failure is no longer a possibility.
That people jump into discussions about the flaws of the armor system and comment on how more status effects should ignore armor leaves me completely bewildered. That would only make the situation worse!
Are there really so few people who actually enjoy challenging combat where you have deal with 'oh shit that didn't work' moments?
Plans fail all the time, you just have to deal with plans in more absolute ways. Blocking line of sight, impeding movement, healing, picking out priority targets properly.
Random fails don't add drama or tension. Gambling is not the pinnacle of skill. In a game like this, you're more likely to see failures than success unless you power game to make chance rates near infallible.
In this game, hiding behind a wall can be all you need to scupper plans.
