very cool, but the pet damage is basically useless

owo, this looks really cool! Boss Diary is a really cool addition, and gives a lot more information to bosses you have bested while giving some more Lore. (I've always been a fan of Bestiaries giving some more insight on enemies and some flavor text.). It also gives you a sense of the accomplishments you made across your journey, as you slowly fill in the percentages. Also, Boss IDs also look pretty good. It makes a lot of the bosses have an extra touch of uniqueness and more flavor to a fight... however.

This kinda highlights a big issue with some Boss IDs. Getting hit by something you had no idea of knowing. If I had no idea there's an effect during my first time, or maybe up to my second or third time that can destroy me just because I didn't know, that becomes unfair. The Antikythera is a huge example of this, literally getting hit by something you cannot see. Also, since the Player is meant to do a lot more damage to bosses than enemies dealing damage to you, this makes players with no Defense, low health, or no Health Regen say "Guess I'll just die". Don't get me wrong, most of the Boss IDs are good, and subtle enoguh so that it doesn't have too much of an impact while playing. However, Eye's Eternal Gaze can make it feel unfair for the player not knowing why suddenly doing about 64% more damage 4 minutes in, and Psychomancer/Panic Zealot doing Chaos without any indicators can be a situation between life and death, especially Panic Zealot that requires a lot of foreknowledge to do right.

Status Resistance is cool. Idk how much mileage people are going to get out of Pet Damage considering you can only get them from Crates and only go up to Lv. 20, so that would be pretty unnecessary. Also, idk how people are going to get out of Knockback Resistance, since mobs often move players via Push/Pull Ability anyways, not knockback and mobs that actually hit the player back farther than normal for their basic attack is very rare. Still, it would be neat to have just as a niffy add-on. Tho, I feel like players worry more about hitstun rather than the knockback of enemies.

As for CCI, CCI is a bad thing that can make bosses a dumpster fire for classes and get crushed in that they can't use their spells optimally which is a core design of their gameplay. However, admitly, pre 1.20, Shaman Aura did basically wreck almost every boss, but 1.20 made Shaman Aura ineffective against almost every boss. With the Knockback system, while it will fix the other classes' spells useful again for CCI mobs, you would kinda have a return to the former with Shaman Aura being OP. Also, a Knockback system surprising already exists with Corruptor of Worlds actually having slight Knockback Resistance. Having a greater emphasis on that system to replace CCI would be great, amazing even. Tho, idk how you could work around the Shaman's Paradox of Aura being incredibly powerful, or do almost nothing.

personally wouldn't mind Shaman being actually viable as a class if this were to change honestly
