Blind sucks, when I need more than 5 clear potions against
a sniper character who is diping his arrows in
blinding potion. i can send log where I fought with
Deft. Only one thing I could make than he blinded me
again, type quaff clear and immeditaly after it I was blinded
again.. This fight sucked, but i know it is way
how sniper can win. yeah, Deft won, because I crashed into
Diancecht.
Probably i will be glad if we will change it.
For example I can be blind only once in 1 or 2 ticks. -shrug-

No reason to change blind.. it's already WAY
underpowered seeing how ANYONE can run to rent
and you can even unlock and lock your clan doors.
Blind doesnt last long, and since you
an see where you are going.. you can run or even
hide wihle it lasts.. it doesnt last very long
Blind is the ONE thing the sniper has left
in his pkill arsenal. Taking away blind
ould TRASH the already becoming extinct
pure sniper.
by pure sniper I mean dex/perc.. not the Craven con/dex with perc.

I don't think its underpowered, just different mainly.
It takes off a whole lot of movement, when you run, which is
very powerful. If your not very close to an inn or clanhall
you may never make it.

I should probably be writing this with a pkiller but
from my experience, people sit in the inns, houses and safe rooms
only..especially the big mouth lowbie punks.
All smart clans have lotsa areas to run to anyway.

Heh, if your gonna make it so ppl that stay in their clan
hall are killable somehow, it might unbalance the system.
Ie, don't base the effectiveness of blind on ppl that stay
one room away from safety.

Im not.. you were just saying that people that are blind
never make it to a safe room or hall.. but they never
eave these rooms to begin with.. and I liked the old blind
where you didnt know which room you were in.. this way
people couldnt just dash to a safe room.. even if it was one room
away because you wouldnt know where you were.
The fact that you can see where you are running kidna defeats
half the purpose of the blind spell.

I think you need to reread what I said. It was if your not
close to a clanhall or inn, you might never make it to said inn
or clanhall, not that ppl never make it to clanhall or inn.
As for ppl never leaving clanhall or inn, your full of crap there.
Pkill is two sided, if someone never leaves their clanhall or ooc
maybe you should consider not bothering about them. If they never
attack you back then your just picking on them. Given this, if
you were someone that could blind ppl with arrows, it might be
a good idea to go somewhere where there isn't an inn or clanhall
nearby and see if they will attack you. I say it again, if your
wanting skills that will make it so you can kill ppl while they
are in an inn, then that skill or spell will be overpowered.

I play that kinda game and to be honest, I am the hunter.
and the people that I hunt are ALWAYS near safety.
I can't even GET people to attack ME. Filmy vials are a pain in the ass t
as it is.. I can't stand wasting a filmy on someone
that just runs and runs over and over.
In order to power up snipers, we need to be able to dip a BIND
potion. Sorry Mcd, you and I know that won't work.
I can't hang around in the middle of nowhere and expect
people to A) hunt me down in the middle of nowhere and
it's hard to find a spot that isnt close to an inn or hall.
Thankfully most all the safe rooms are gone.. I can't stand
those.
Tanzer Scythe,
the hunter not the hunted.

If noone will attack you maybe its time to level up.
Noone has attacked me in a long time either, but I don't attack
people unless they attack me. I don't think we need people who
only attack others and never get attacked. If someone stops
attacking me I stop attacking them. If they are that easy to
kill then whats the point. If you can kill everyone at a
lower level and everyone runs from you, thats not a big deal.
If you can do it at lvl 50 id say wow, but I'm sure there are
plenty of lvl 50 ppl that will be glad to attack you.

As far as blinding arrows go, you have no option but to keep
up your sink (if you have one) and hope the shooter doesn't
decide to dispel you continually to waste your mana or you
fight blind! You can only carry around so many vials or
cure with the spell so many times. You're better off just
staying blind most the time :( Renting will just clear
alertness and let them backstab you again.
I dunno what the answer is, snipers suck without blinding
arrows and aren't even that great with them depending on
the individual. Filmys need to be easier to get (I recall
what a pain it was to collect them after every fight) but
perhaps you shouldn't be able to dip whole quivers and
should revert back to single arrows for dipping.
I also have to add that nothing should be changed until
snipers are at least able to hit more often with 80 perc.
