Guild Wars 2

Back in that Revenant PoI video they said that the Stability change will make it “more similar to blind, where one stack prevents one CC”. Since Blind currently stacks in duration, not intensity, I gotta ask: are they also planning to change Blind to stack in intensity, each stack making one attack miss, and they told us so in that vid by accident?

I think it’d be a good change, for what it’s worth.

I think your reading to much into that. Stab change while leaving blind the same will make them more similar.

Yay engi nades hitting someone with 3 stacks of blind?

Might as well since its just as stupid and unneeded as the stability change.

This is actually a pretty interesting idea and something I would support. It would necessitate a rebalancing of some skills to have shorter durations of blind, but I think overall it would be a good change. I do think having a max stack size of ~5 would probably be necessary, otherwise swarming players with blind could result in them being essentially unable to do anything for extended periods of time.

But my question is: did they unintentionally say that blind will be changed to stack in intensity, or am I just reading too much into that comparison?

And @Rising Dusk yeah, if they did do it, it would probably be a good idea to limit stacks to 5, but remember that a single cleanse will lift 1 stack just as well as it would lift 25, and also that each stack would also have a duration, so it’s not like you’d need to spam 25 attacks if their duration was only 5"!
