Death almost always misses as a spell, and as a status it's easy to cure with a Pheonix Down or a Life spell. Most of the severe statuses don't bother me much since once they're done, that's it. Death, petrification, stop etc. just happen and that's it. Confusion also doesn't bother me 'cause it usually doesn't last long. Toad and mini suck pretty bad, but to me, nothing can even compare to slow. I hate waiting for my next turn while I just get the snot beaten out of me. It's like you're not dead, they still give you some hope, and then you just get stomped.
