[QUOTE="keterys, post: 5862476, member: 43019"] It is perhaps worth note that nerfing one condition may just move the goalpost. For example, stun isn't horrible against Kronos - basically he loses one of his standard actions. It's not strong, either, so you may be a lot better off just blitzing damage on him to force him to a phase change. He has no defense against dominate, though. So a group that could dominate him for 6 rounds straight (fairly trivial at that level, especially if you pull out a couple dailies) would cause him a lot of problems. Protect against dominate, and maybe they'll whip out "cannot attack" or "cannot attack targets other than X". Balancing status protection at epic is a little crazy. I tend to vary it up quite intentionally what I use - so one monster might be able to remove an "ends of X turn" effect, another might get saves against anything you can save against, one might remove "one harmful effect or condition", etc. [/QUOTE]
