[Perdition]

So, a previous balance update made silence much more scarce, or relegated to many auto silences to being inflict checks. This has made mages the de facto strongest builds in the game. The reason for the change is understandable--when silence is easy to access, playing a mage feels miserable. But that's the nature of silence in its current iteration.

I suggest changing silence to have a LV associated with it. That LV % would be the chance you have to cast a spell successfully while under the silence, similar to how hesitation works for basic attacks and basic attack skills. This way, you can add auto silences back, but simply give them lower LVs to compensate. Mages get more counterplay but don't get outright suppressed by the status. Harder to land silences are rewarded more, etc.
