Outlanders are definitely hamstrung but get powers to make up for it. Blindness is one of the reasons why they're hamstrung (and I, for one, hate that even though I've played a decent amount of outlanders recently).

Right, so blindness spell and commune can fail and be cancelled. I don't think camel spit can be cancelled (and it fails on a limited amount). Dirt kick cannot also be cancelled and depending on the ranger class, that's 2 ticks. Traps are a little more than that, but requires someone to enter the room ie you can't chase with it.

I can flee and drop my trap and you get blinded instantly. You can also revert, quaff unblind potions, and continue chasing. Admittedly limited amount of potions, but hey, you weren't a fortress.

Not utterly pointless, just requires a better strategy. Would I be super annoyed if I was in your shoes fighting a trapper (allegedly skilled)? Absolutely. Would I continue to try to figure out ways to beat it? Absolutely. BTW being trapped at the Captain means fly, w, d, and go to healer, heal, fly, come back in, all within <1 tick.

I still fail to see your argument. Strategically your class and cabal combo just wasn't good for trappers. And due to shiftober, your class / cabal combo was most of outlanders. If I fought Korg, probably a different story.
