Status Infliction being tied to Skill and Will is akin to skill slots being attached to Skill and Guile.

It stops builds from optimizing their stat spreads further, to gouge your status inflict means you're likely giving up something else in turn. Were builds allow to skate by without that choice, then we'd end up with further optimized builds, fewer choices, and Hexer in a position that would require a rework. In fact it would leave plenty of status effects in a succ or save situation.

I don't think this spicy hot take is keen.
