This is a balance fu thread, and here we care about balance.

Then why recommend such horrible and unbalanced things that make a caster just as useless as if they were silenced, or making the status just as useless? Like any of the Hexer spells you suggested not giving them the ability to inflict their status conditions, makes a Hexer ENTIRELY useless, since they are a caster class based solely on the fact to inflict status conditions.

What's traditional is irrelevant.

Have you ever played anything else other than SL2, that's fantasy based? It's not tradition. It's literally how things work.
