Lightbulb Weapon of Shadow

Right now the only way to stop a Seeking Arrows ranger is to blind him or interrupt his preperation.

Weapon of Shadow: For 4...9 seconds, target ally has a Weapon of Shadow. Whenever that ally is struck by an attack, that ally's attacker becomes Blinded for 3 seconds.

This skill has a lot of potential to make is possible to capture the altar but it needs a small buff to at least 5 seconds of blind to last the whole time of the cap. This will force their prot monk to be on the ball on condition removal.

...which is exactly why Sama, Power, and crew are using this on their Ritualist whenever they go on a HoH holding run.

Great find, imo. Perfect for throwing on the GH, or on the monks for regular battles versus CG rangers...

Too bad no one uses CG to interrupt the ghost so that doesn't matter that choking goes through blind, evade, and block. We're talking about seeking arrows.

unless the cger is bad or the prot monk is dead wepon of shadow is a waste , you still get the initiall interupt off and then get the blind so you would have to be dumb enough to attack again to lose seeking and since its a 3 sec blind it dosent mater because you will still have 3 more seconds to interupt the ghost so you dont need to attack

stupid chocker will have probrem witht that but good one...

-> salvage shot -> blind 3 second -> 2 second till savage recharge .-> savage.

as long meanwhile you dont shoot you can still interupt plus there always the prot monk.

i dont say its crappy skill , its very good , it can shot down a chocked who dont pay attention and will save ghost life when 8 w/r with apostasy are bashing him.

but you still have to shock , gale , interupt the seeking arrow.

The fact remains that it's still the most effective way of stopping a Seeking Ranger from interrupting the ghost for an indefinate amount of time.

It doesn't stop him. Blind lasts for 3 seconds,he will just wait for blind to go away and interrupt him.

the best way still remain

1) kill the ranger
2) interupt seeking and guardian spam(maybe with shield up)
3) bliding flash
4) put a shadow song near the ranger
5) put a dust trap and hope the prot monk (or the chocking gas(if he stay inside the trap)) is stupid

reckless haste + price of failure. are good ones too. Gives him like near 50% chance to miss one of his intterupts.

a decent player might fall for it once or twice (1st time and maybe when he's careless). I dont wouldnt say it's a good way to stop seeking arrow really....

u have at least 5s to remove the blind after each interrupt, any r9+ group should have no problem with it..... even if they increase the blinding duration to 3hours. -.-!

Yeah...... I don't think Choking gas rangers are going to try to interrupt the capping ghost with choking gas up.. not seeking.. but yes, weapon of shadow is nice, if you have a shock axe that is smart he can shock the seeking arrows after he is done being blind (3 seconds blind+2 second shock)= ghost caps
