Guild Wars 2

Ever since I figured out how to play an Elementalist correctly I noticed a very annoying bug when fighting bosses. Whenever I would blind a boss, they would completely ignore the blind and I would take damage through the blind.

The blind debuff does successfully hit every time and I tested this also. I would blind the boss and wait until he is ready to attack me and he would always hit. This problem is mainly with champion monsters.

I am also using staff. The skill that I used was in the Lightning attunement the 2nd skill, and using the Utility skill, Glyph of the Storms, under the Earth attunement. This bug kinda cripples my build and my usefulness in dungeons.

I am a support in a way and that means blocking any kinds of damage or just keeping people alive. I would really appreciate some kind of bug fix on this in the near future

if u notice almost all champion (and all dungeon boss) have a buff (a white square with a black simbol on it), that buff apply them immunity to cc every time a cc is used on them ALSO it reduce blind efficency to 10%… this mean that blind last 1/10 of its normal duration… so a 10 second blind (pretty long…) will last only 1 second… normal 5 or 6 second blind will last 0,5 or 0,6 second… so u have to use it WHILE thei’r doing their attack and not before…

using blind against boss/champion is almost useless due to this (unless u know the boss/champion animation really well and have a really good coordination).

As well as reduced CC effectiveness, some (most?) champ/boss mobs also don’t take the full length of damage dealing conditions. eg: a 12sec burn will only last around 5secs

Mobs and players that attack very quickly or have evade attached with the animation will also hit you through the blind pulse of Glyph of Storms in earth attune. Heartseeker spamming theives are a good example, and most common. Bandit mobs also hit through it with that flurry thing they have.
