Guild Wars 2

There should be a trait that makes the melee warrior immune to blindness or make the warrior semi-blind.

• The warrior is a melee class and has to constantly chase the opponent, when you finally get near him you are blinded and cannot connect the hit.

Melee battles against thieves are a joke, I find myself blinded every 5 seconds and constantly my skills go in miss because of this.

The traits “cleansing ire” on defense say that a condition is removed for every bar of adrenaline spend, but when you are blinded the skill goes as missed. So basically, blindness cannot be cured by this cleansing ire.

blind doesn’t last that long but when you are missing two or three skills on a moving target it feels like forever. But the blindness is probably wearing off before ire can cleanse it and getting buried by longer conditions on you. Did you test it with someone only casting blind on you then using ire? Also try some -condition duration food or runes of melandru on your wvw armor.

but yes against thieves it sucks because they are also moving, but what i’d do is, they like to hold you in the blinding powder aoe, dash away and pull them away from it. When they do it again use your mobility skill each time they drop it but don’t just turn your back and run away from the aoe because they will 2 spam you if dagger build haha

erm… no they shouldn’t be immune to blind….

1 blind = 1 miss… missing breaks blind… also ire would never cleanse blind because you’re blind so you can’t really… hit things…

no, just no.

Warrior should not be immune to blind.

I’ve seen a lot of warriors say that if you play a thief, you can actually know what they’re going to do next and read their moves and predict their next skill, so it’s more a matter of you being a bad player than thieves being OP…

Haven’t you ever watched a movie where two guys in CQC throw sand, dirt, and other elements into their opponent’s eyes?

Warriors should not be immune to blind.

Berserker stance makes you immune to conditions for 8 seconds. Including blind.

This is amazing. “I have a weakness against a specific class under specific circumstances. Therefore that weakness should be entirely removed.”

Do people actually think about what they’re asking for before they ask?

Like everybody else, I disagree.
Warriors already have the best potential damage outcome of the game. Next you will want warrior’s melee skills to be unblockable because a guardian killed you while kiting with a scepter and using his blocking skills…

The problem is not blind, the problem is that Thief can fart blackpowder anytime they want to.

The solution is to nerf thieves.

The problem is not blind, the problem is that Thief can fart blackpowder anytime they want to at the cost of being able to take any other action and you were still unable to beat them despite the fact they basically autoattacked you to death

The solution is to play better.

ftfy.

Black Powder takes 6 init, half their pool, and takes 8s to recharge that (baring a build specifically made to generate init).

If you are getting destroyed by a thief with little to no init, the problem is not the thief.

Good idea, but they should also immune against:

-DMG
-CC effects
-Conditions
-Every kind of area effect

But this isnt enough, I miss:

A visibility range of 25k
Condition and Boon Duration of +250%
Minimum 5k DMG per hit also with AA of LB
and a Weaponrange of 1000 Points.

Pls Anet give this all the warrior, because they have already a hard time to win against a little sweet bunny!

Yep, and thieves should have a minor trait that makes them immune to stuns..

didn’t ftfy.

Except, Blind is buffed. You can’t just remove blind by hitting the air.

In order to remove blind, you have to hit something to remove it. The moment you get away from BP, the thief chases you down and strafe around you. When you finally get the blind off, the thief can fart another blackpowder.

If the thief is getting dangerously low on hp, he can just HS away to stealth.

Nope, Blackpowder needs nerf, Blackpowder deserves a nerf.

Without the stupid stealth this might be worth a try.

Yep and you shouldn’t lose your target against stealthed enemies. Thieves (and certain PvE mobs) laugh at elementalists.

Mesmers should be immune to death, when you’re about to die you just switch places with an illusion.

Blind is the counter to melee. Warrior is a melee class.

Condition removal is the counter to conditions. Should warriors there for be unable to remove conditions, so my necromancer is more viable? No. The answer is, you should protect yourself better against the blind condition.

Again, it takes HALF their init each and every time they drop BP to avoid a single hit from you. Two BPs’s and they are autoattacking. If you are losing to an autoattacking thief you are losing to anything and blind is not the issue, you are.

Use a range attack, use a leap, an offensive shout, use anything to clear the blind. If the thief is able to melee you and you can’t hit them due to strafing, well then you couldn’t hit them without the blind so your point is moot (and be glad they are wasting init on BP instead of using it on offensive abilities while still dodging around so you can’t hit them). If it takes you 8s to land a single hit (time it takes to regen the init needed to “fart another black powder”), you are simply being outplayed.

Now, if they are p/p so they can fight at range, and if they BP again the fight should be yours (assuming you can beat an autoattacking thief), if they don’t then sleep well knowing they blew half their init on stopping one of your attacks.

You are complaining about an autoattacking pistol or (if they swap) shortbow thief, those weapons hit like a wet noodle without using a large portion of init.

I think warrior should also have a skill that makes them run faster, makes them stronger and have more crit chance…

As a warrior you have only 2 options to defend against blindness spamming.

1.- Run whenever you are blinded and receive damage while kiting.
2.- Equip shake it off, signet of stamina, barzerker stance and remove 1 or 6 conditions and be fine for 1 second, but then receive another 6 conditions and wait for 60 seconds for your skills to cooldown for another chance to remove conditions.

Or you use range weapons or use the full weaponrange and stay outside of the field hile you hitting the thief.
