There is an enchantment for plagued chest pieces that increases dmg resistance when afflicted with a status. From my testing it only activates when the status meter is maxed out. Unlike the helmet enchantment that give focus when inflicting status… my REAL question is-
Is there a way in combat to self inflict myself with a status? Runes like Firewalk do not inflict status unless I am doing something wrong, I have yet to test Static.
So within combat itself like fighting a boss, there is no effective way to proc this besides having the boss hit you with an elemental attack? This enchantment sure does sound useless when u proc it ur practically dead…
Look from the bright side so its the hard counter of the lacquered bow lol
Try it while blocking 
Blocking could potentially mitigate the dmg but let some of the buildup go through its defense?
Hm I was under the impression it procced immediately when any build-up was already active, thanks for sharing!
