I don’t play a mesmer, so correct me if I’m wrong here. What I understand of this is blind isn’t breaking on illusion/clone/phantasm creation abilities. While I agree that it should break on said abilities, the suggestion to transfer blind to an illusion sounds incredibly overpowered. Blind would become a nonfactor on mesmers, not even worth being used. I also don’t agree that every other professions’ dealings with blind are trivial. A thief could easily expend massive initiative on blind. That would be a devastating loss of not only dps, but also survivability. You could say “pay attention to debuffs,” but that’s essentially the same situation I see here. Blind should break on any ability that is negated, but I wouldn’t go further than that. As to the channeling comparison, maybe channels should be brought in line with mesmer’s current state. The game isn’t very cc oriented as is, and removing the effectiveness of current cc’s sounds like trivialization of mechanics to me.
