Rezzet.3614 Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 this condition always felt wierd and inconsistent because it relies on being spammed wich means its useless in some professions and ridiculously powerful on those that can pulse or spam it so what if we changed blind so that it dint get removed after attacking but rather gave a 50% Miss chance debuff? of course would need to balance out some skills and stuff cuz then it would be absurd seeing the blind spam professions applying 4 minute long blinds in condi duration builds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rauderi.8706 Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Blind: Reduces Crit chance (by half or to 0%, as needed by game balance). PvP has a big problem with bursty damage anyway, and a lot of that comes from crit/ferocity/power multiplicative synergy, so having Blind clip that would slow things down. And it wouldn't be so annoying to deal with enemies who spam Blind in PvE. Fast weapons have less of a problem with it, but when enemies randomly slap it on while a slower weapon is in motion, it's super frustrating. That, and PvE also has an issue with huge gaps in damage from the damage-trinity synergy. And while that's out there, change up Weakness to a flat damage-reduction. I could add more about how it's otherwise worthless on PvE enemies, *because they have no stamina*, and since they don't, a blanket damage reduction would at least make Weakness worth using. Oh, and Stability needs a full revamp again. :+1: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trise.2865 Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 That's what it was before, and it slowed combat down too much. It made Blind too "fire and forget" rather than proactive. So they made Blind a mirror for Aegis instead, and sped up skills that caused Blind. It's better this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember Blind always being as is, playing since beta - to double check my memory i searched the wiki and it also doesn't mentioned the condition ever being any different than it is now either. That said, I do much prefer proactive gameplay elements to passive chance debuffs. The only thing that ever really bothered me about Blind is how utterly useless it feels in certain non-trash mob PvE environments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
