Incap Strike Silence- my suggestion: Blind instead of Silence

Savos_Saren

Instead of making Incap Strike silence an opponent- why not make it blind the opponent? That way, a NB's target misses their attacks to the NB for three seconds. It wouldn't matter if the opponent was magicka-based or stamina-based. It still allows for the NB to have the three second window of opportunity (just like the Devs want) to attack while their opponent is busy healing, blocking, dodging, or whatnot. It's still helpful to NBs and it's not detrimental to magicka-based characters. It allows balanced gameplay for both stamina and magicka characters and gives NBs the three second window against stam and mag enemies.

Thoughts?

Or how about they not have anything strong tied to an already hard hitting and cheap ult? -_-

Oh no... trust me... I'd love to see a "Blind" attack reintroduced to the game. "Balance" would be having the stamina equivalent of Negate.

Yes, neither

I'd rather they were just bright enough to say that the NB toolkit is pretty good, and leave them alone while they look at other classes

This would just make Nb tankier...

This.

Revert Incap to stunning like before then don't give Nightblades ANYMORE TOYS.

Begin the REAL "skill audit" that they claimed they were doing in this PTS in the first place.

Blind would be useless as part of offensive combo though. My initial combo is hard enough to force almost anybody into the defensive and blind would not be any use then as they are already turtling up. Even then using it as a defensive ult would be fairly useless as a stamblade if I want I can easily avoid majority of the incoming attacks so why waste an ult on it.

Don't get me wrong, Silence is stupid on Incap. If they really give something like that to incap, it should have been the Stamina equivalent of Silent.

This would be far more fair and balanced. 3 seconds of not being able to do anything on a mag toon? Dah ***?

They need more defenses is the idea... although take reave off tho.

You don't need it to be 120 to cast it - you need it for the bonus. Still hard hitting and cheap.

Blinds make direct heals miss also so no

Absolutely not. Terrible idea. The whole concept of "blind" in the game shouldn't exist. NB has invisibility skill, unique skill which no one else has and only way to counter that is to slot detect potions. Please don't mention terrible detection skills like Hunter.

Imagine getting hit by Incap and for 3 seconds you can't fight back at all, lol.

Oh and forgot to mention that the Silence is not good either. Both terrible ideas.

Here it is again. Someone else that thinks the only real way to counter cloak is detect pots.
