Guild Wars 2

To make it miss the next two attacks instead of one.
Or shorten durations and make it miss every single target attack untill expired.

I kinda dislike the way the condition behaves since auto attack excists and basicly the condition can be cleared with just spamming or autoattack and Considering most of our fields are dark fields.

The conditions should have something punishing instead of being a skill you trow out hoping for the best. especially in the case of slow pulses and #4 dagger can be outrun/sidestepped/dodged etc etc..

shame i can’t find the suggestions forum :S

Please God, anything but this. I’m not sure you fully appreciate the gravity of what you’re asking. Or maybe you’ve just never fought a Thief before.

Blind is extremely punishing. It used to require timing instead of spamming back when you could clear it with autos that wouldn’t have otherwise hit the target, but now it’s infuriating to be blinded from range while melee. If you use Blind on someone and it gets auto’d off instantly, then you blinded poorly. Or you bought at least aftercast time to do something else.

I honestly wish they’d revert Blind to its old state. I can’t support any motions to make it even stronger.

Burning should tick for 4k base and increase all durations so that it never expires. And also when I target someone they should be burned.

Blind in its old state wasn’t good, because unless you were mindlessly spamming your important attacks without paying attention, it was pretty useless since you could just auto once and clear it. As it is now, it is actually a punishing condition, which is the point.

That said, blind is just fine as it is now, although there are some times where blind is far too spammable (looking at you thieves).

hold on, what changed in the mechanic?

It used to be that you could remove blind just by casting an attack, regardless of whether it would do anything or not. So you could get blinded at 1200 range of any target with a 130 range melee weapon, swing it once, blind gone. Now you need to “hit” the target to wipe the blind.

yes but how you hit target if you blinded and all hits are miss ?

Blind gets wiped if the attack would have hit, were it not for the Blind.

Before, it got wiped if you made an attack, regardless of it it would have otherwise done anything.

He means that it has to be an attack that would have otherwise hit. It’s the difference between swinging a weapon through the air, and swinging on top of an enemy model.

Personally, I thought the old blind was fine, because it punished using a blind in a spammy/dumb fashion. Using it at 1200 range as a “get out of initiation free” card is lame to me, but that’s just my own thought on it.
