The way I see it, the major difference between conditions and control effects are:

Conditions deal with damage, either causing it or lessening the effect of an opponents.
Control effects deal with the opponents ability to attack by acting as a hinderance.

Blind prevents a player from landing an attack, effectively being a one-use disable. So, wouldnt that make it a control effect? What would be the downside of this?

Stunbreaks remove all control effects on you. Not only that, but for a control effect, it’s much to easily accessible by certain professions cough thief cough.

Hm, fair enough. Its such an odd man out for a condition, though. Every other condition damages some aspect of you (healing power, skill recharge, movement, endurance regen and outgoing damage) but none of them force an outright miss.

Stunbreak doesn’t clear immobilize, and that’s a control effect. Condi removal clears imob thou, so…I don’t really know anymore.

Immobilize isnt really a control, though. Its in the same ballpark as cripple. Hinders movement, no restriction on skills. Its not like there are skills that still teleport even when immobilized or any—

Wait. Oh.
