blind mech
I haven’t noticed any change to blind. Mind explaining?
He most likely means this. In the past you were able to just swing your weapon (or fire a shot) and blind would go away regardless if you “hit” anything or not. Now blind stays until you actually “miss” someone. I think it was changed in the June 25th? update.
I don’t know any real reason myself, but an obvious one is to make blind stronger and actually effect combat a bit more. If it’s too strong know, I can’t say.
Oh I see, well that happened weeks ago, I thought he meant recently. And yeah that was a really stupid move on ANet’s part.

Well before you would just swing in the air to get rid of blind, making it useless in battle. Maybe to the person getting blinded it’s a bad change, but before to the person inflicting the blind it was unfair that you could get rid of it so easily.

But even with that drawback blind has been an incredibly powerful condition since release, my Ele’s duststorm almost never leaves my skillbar in PvE or PvP.
But before it at least required some intelligent use, you used your blinds just before your enemy used their most damaging abilities, if you didn’t they could pop it with an auto-attack. It had counterplay, something far too many classes lack in GW2. Additionally it was an even playing field between melee and ranged.
Now it is just used haphazardly, is pointless against ranged opponents while crippling versus melee, and it is yet another thing countered by building your bar rather than by playing.

i disagree auto swing is time wasted not being able to attack your target making weapon that have faster attack animation beter match up against blind. now it just well kitten it all try hit a thief 2 times in a row gl with that with out taking dmg.
