Guild Wars 2

Hi, new-ish mesmer here. With the introduction of the shield I thought I’d check out this trait. The trait reads:

Cause confusion when you blind a foe. Blocking or evading an attack inflicts blind on your opponent.

When using this skill with scepter/shield the blocks from both weapons apply blind, but they do not apply confusion. Is this intended? Seems bugged to me. Blind from other sources (e.g., signet of midnight) work for me.

There is an internal cooldown per target for the blind. Perhaps it was on cooldown when you were expecting it to proc blind again?

No the blind is applying once, as I expect, it’s the confusion that I’m not getting on the blind application.

Hm, odd. I don’t normally play with Ineptitude, so I haven’t noticed that happening myself. I’ll have to test it out next time I get a chance to play.

I’m also experiencing the same issue, Signet blinds correctly apply confusion. Blinds from Sword/Sword evade and block are applied but the confusion is not.
