Curse

I'm tired of always being blind. I know I can equip my heroes with a lot more condition removal, but I'm curious if there's a good warrior touch build out there. I know it won't be godmode, but I'd like to do something in some of these fights beyond waiting for foul feast. :-)

Use Sight Beyond Sight

If you're not swinging your weapon, you're not going to be doing much damage. 20 max energy, 2 pips of regen, and a primary that offers no energy management means spamming non-attack skills from other professions to do damage isn't going to work well. You're better off just adapting what you're using to work better in blind heavy areas rather than scrapping it altogether fro something completely different. The best option is better con removal though.

I think Hundred Blades causes damage even if your attacks don't hit, eh? That could work through blind.

In blind heavy area's bring hundred blades.

Same as if there is enchantment denial area's don't bring many enchantments.

just either being sight beyond sight Snow Bunny said

From Wiki on it.

"Because this triggers on attack, you don't actually have to hit for the damage to occur. "

Bring draw conditions.

I keep a shield with -20% blind in one of my weapon sets to switch to in blind heavy areas. I also use plague touch pretty often, only 5 energy and instant recharge.

Because running H&H is so popular now (and can do almost anything) run triple necro with foul feast.

Wont they waste energy and time taking each other's conditions?

Take it on one necro.

Where are you playing? The answer to "how do I deal with blinds" varies greatly depending on gametype.

Basically if there's a Bsurge ele camping you in pvp you're screwed unless your team has good condition removal.

If you have constant trouble with it, run both -20% blind shield and runes.

Sometimes you can get away with bringing mending touch, which is an extremely useful skill that saves me repeatedly in AB. (mending touch is better than plague touch btw)

Paul Dawg · May 31, 2009, 03:25 AM // 03:25

Not necessarily. First, don't forget that they get 2-3 energy for each condition they eat, so they're probably not going to be wasting energy. Second, if a curses necro eats the conditions, he can send them right back out with skills like [plague sending], [plague touch], or [plague signet]. I don't usually have those skills on my curses necro, but they CAN be effective.

If you really wanna be original go w/n and bring minion skills plus infuse condition.

Pro* you wont be blinded

Con* you fail

Sjeng oet Mestreech · May 31, 2009, 08:08 PM // 20:08

I've always liked Antidote Signet. No energy cost and low recharge.

I just macro'd my Livia's Foul feast to a key, hit it and I can see in under a second.
