Guild Wars 2

Something I’ve wondered for a while…

For those spells of ours that afflict random conditions (Winds of Chaos, Chaos Armor, Chaos Storm, etc.), what happens if an enemy is immune to a particular condition? Is the condition that is to be applied determined before or after the immunity is checked?

For example, dredge are immune to blind. Say I have Chaos Armor up and a dredge hits me. Will blind be removed from the pool of random conditions, or will it have a chance to attempt to inflict blindness and then fail?

The random condition is selected prior to when immunities are decided. So as for the dredge, he hits you, the selection was blind, the immunity kicks in, immunity notification pops up.
