I have a necromancer, and constantly getting destoryed by blind/ daze chains. Is there any counter to this? My only condition remove is consume cond (25s) and well of power (60s). Thief can simply continue chain after one time use condition remove. Any suggestions please?

don’t get hit by cloak and dagger. No tact. Strike no blind.

you can’t transfer conditions while blinded. none of the suggestions are realistic.

Wanna go into more detail then? I assume hes using the x/D with when you go into stealth blind nearby foes. In which case, don’t go near him so you don’t get hit by cloak and dagger.

If he’s using /P and u cant figure out how to avoid blinds then your beyond help as its a blinding AoE field so don’t stand in it.

If he using S/x then you either gonna get blinded from tactical strike or dazed. take your pick. I’d take the blind of toss out an auto atk to drop it, but thats just me.

If hes using shortbow and spamming infiltrators arrow on top of u and your managing to lose, well…. i dunno. try using your trait points or equiping a amulet.

Always a terrible terrible cop out response to balance issues where one class is much stronger than other classes in 1v1’s.

If it takes 2 ‘other’ classes to deal with 1 of ‘x’ class then ‘x’ class is broken and needs to be shot with the nerfballista.

think he’s saying if someone is playing a build that directly counters yours, you don’t try to fight them by yourself. If you don’t have condition removal you don’t get into a fight with a condition necro, instead you get help from a teammate(s) better suited to fight them. Has nothing to do with being OP…in this example anyway

If it’s a P/P thief and they are shooting you from their blind field then your best bet is to force them to use more initiative so they can’t drop that field anymore, if it’s an x/P then the same tactic works but not standing in melee range works better.

Fornicate like you’ve never fornicated before.
