Templar skill: Blinding light to Blinding Flashes

yogarogue

Thinking of creating a guide that will test a build that is one part dps w/ 2 hander and one part tank w/ 1 hander and shield.. Before I put together this build I would like to know the difference between blinding light and its morph blinding flashes, which claims to pulse every 2 seconds rather than a continuous 4 seconds.. What does this mean???

Blinding Light applies the debuff once when activated. Blinding Flashes applies the debuff multiple times.

That's where its confusingbecuse both are still a 4 second duration... whether or not its applied twice in 4 seconds, the previous skill still lasts 4 seconds... I don't understand it..

Blinding Light applies a 4s debuff to enemies around you when activated. Blinding Flashes applies a 4s "buff" to yourself that applies a 4s debuff to nearby enemies every 2s for 4s.

The point of Blinding Flashes is it can apply the debuff to more enemies as you run through them/they come near you and renew the debuff on enemies that already have it.

I would be interested in this guide. Trying to decide if I want a 2hnd in my dps role. I like how a mace and shield looks so I have been thinking I might make my Templar use a 1hnd/shield in both weapon slots with the abilities being dps/tank. Not sure if that would be smart though.
