I agree pretty firmly with Miller here. A status being effective isn't definitively the problem, so much as its accessibility, and the accessibility of its counterplay. I think Silence is a pretty clear indicator of this; back when Nightflower inflicted silence, and Sonic Shell had a much more accessible silence, it played a much more pivotal role as a status.
How about giving tanks an option in the form of a craftable, consumable item to counter burn? Like throatopeners for Silence. It could cure your burn, and if you have the Perfect talent, give you 0.5*ranks(rounded down) rounds of burn immunity; so 1 to 2 rounds.
This would make burn require preparation and presence of mind to counter, but still make the counterplay pretty widely accessible.
Postnote: I'm not sure whether it should take up an entire slot per item, or have more of a blue potion status, right now. Worth considering it both ways.
