Guild Wars 2

I see no difference between a guardian giving the whole party aegis and a necro blinding the boss, so why does aegis work and blind doesn’t?

If it’s because of thieves, do something about theives being able to permablind stuff.

Blind will decrease the new defiance bar with the new system.

Will it actually work once the bar is gone?

You misspelled “Thief”. “Thief” is not spelled “Necromancer.”. Blind spam comes from thiefs.

No. When the bar is gone, a preset effect will occur. It doesn’t matter what control you hit them with, it will always be the same effect.

The effect will differ from boss to boss.

At least, that’s how I understand it.

Oh that’s pretty neat. I already feel better about blasting dark fields and well of darkness.

I used to ask the same thing, but I do believe in some instances, the attack the “boss” uses is more of an AOE than straight attack. I wish blind was more effective but the current defiance also buffs against it.

If a world boss could be blinded then world bosses should just be removed. From the amount of people that do them it would be blinded an entire fight and just not be fun.

I don’t think OP is referring to World bosses. I’m certainly not. That would suck lol

So blind does have some effect on bosses…

Skill that big bosses have:
Unshakable – Gains defiance when targeted by crowd-control skills. Blind is 10% as effective. Weakness and vulnerability last 50% less time.

So basically 1 in 10 hits from the boss will miss if it is blinded.
