Immunities

I totally agree. Along with cold immunity preventing potions from shattering, electricity preventing rods, wands and staves from electrocuting, and acid from damaging equipment. We need to keep the immunities in vanilla.

If you dont like immunities, play with standarts. Immunities are much rarer then. I often dont see any immunities at all, and very rarey more than one, and even more rarely on an item powerful enough to be worth using for long. With standarts, immunities are an exciting treat, but are almost never game changers.

@archolewa--
Largely true, though Thorin, Nenya, Narya, and the various midlevel weapons are fairly common. Using two at once is quite rare, though, and a number of them are useful primarily as a swap item.
