==Races==
Being unable to use Infusions is a huge weakness of the Undead races. While they can become immune or partially immune to many statuses via their inherent immunities and Resilient Bones, these do not replace the hole that not having access to wild infusions leaves behind. While heat beam runes and biting gale runes can be used to replace physical and mental infusions, they are not quite as effective, as they don't also remove cross-tier effects.  It also means no Movement infusions, an almost essential infusion for melee classes. You should attempt to shore this up by getting mobility skills in your class, if available.
