why is this skill unblockable?

why is this skill unblockable?

Because there are too many brainless blocks in this kittenty game

I just ask why it is unblockable, because i don’t understand the mechanic behind it.

Have you ever tried to block smoke? Ever tried to dodge a bullet (let alone one fired from somewhere within a cloud of smoke)?

because devs keep forcing d/p weapon set on thieves down people’s throats for years already

Is it Black Powder itself that is unblockable? Or just the smoke field that it creates? If it’s the field, then it’s not a Black Powder issue.

not the field, the black powder, the ranged shot. Are all field effect unblockable?

Fields themselves are unblockable last I knew, but the attacks which get generated from them (which is what do damage), unique to each skill can be blocked unless otherwise specified, just D/P has all the tools to negate the power-creeped defenses of HoT, and in general, the rest of the thief weapons suck.

D/P 3’s blind and teleport, as well as Shortbow 4’s projectile are also unblockable.

when it says “unblockable” it refer to the blind mech on the skill not the damage. so the shot from the pistol that hit a player will blind you but the dmg can blocked.

Yes this is what i mean. I guess Blind Mech is unblockable. As far as i remember, this is the same with Ineptitude (Mesmer).

Thanks now i understand a bit more the Mechanic behind it.

i believe if i am not mistaken it even blind you if you try to eva it but i am only 50% sure on that one.
