Alright, potentially controversial take here, and yall know I'm biased af on this topic.

Losing momentum on hitting resist, is absolute ass for certain classes, while barely effecting others. But more than anything, it is just not fun.

I'm aware this would likely cause a large shift in balance, but like genuinely.. If someone removes your main class mechanic, what happens? You just refuse to fight them, that's what happens nearly every time. What's the point of fighting someone if the mere act of attacking them, doesn't let you play your class in any kind of fun way? So you just dodge fights with them, or try to beat them at the resist game to make sure that at least they're not having fun either.

Installing drowned woman pretty much shuts down any fleur build and most DH builds, have you ever watched a Kensei fight someone installed with this thing? It shuts down what is pretty much their core mechanic. Same goes for almost any other elemental weapon, for the low low cost of equipping one accessory item (which most people can afford to flex) you can shut down almost any Fleur Duelist, elemental weapon DH, or elemental weapon Twin Dance build. Electric Axe at least requires more investment with a shield, or a few kits alongside goat boots, but most elemental weapons take next to no investment to counter.

You wanna be a DH running Ensui? You have a chest piece, boots, and an accessory slot that can mean "no combination fighter for you", a duelist running Gryphon Wing? All it takes is a single accessory slot. You want to counter any and all physical Fleur builds? Take summoner, one of the widely considered "best classes" and install drowned woman.. The fact that you shut down their main class mechanic is also compounded with the nice, tiny, little bonus of also cutting their damage by about 35% or 50% in the case of drowned woman.

But more than just PvP, you tell me you're having fun fighting an event boss for god knows how long, and you're stuck playing half a class, because I rather quickly lose interest in a long fight if I know the main reason I enjoy playing my class, is gone.
