So because there is no RNG in how CC effects are applied, then I assume that for you, every single battle in the game went exactly as planned, with no surprises or unexpected consequences you had to react to at all?
Can you truthfully say that is how the game went for you?
I never said that, don't strawman me.
and the obvious solution is to prevent those things from appearing on those items
Yeah, let's just remove features that worked before, instead of fixing the problem. I guess we can also remove traps from the game completely too, as they're completely harmless.
Elemental properties on weapons were always a big part of RPGs, meant to add some other source of damage to your main one, and they usually also enabled some specific builds centered around them and made the itemization overall less boring. I mean isn't it always cool when you find an enchanted weapon that deals some kind of magical damage? Why remove it?
