#146220, "Trap blindness is a broken mechanic"
|
In my opinion, this needs to be addressed. Having one trap thief online should not nullify the entire cabal war, which is exactly what it does do right now. Blindness traps are 100% success rate blindness that cannot be cancelled, and the blindness lasts twice as long as the timer for the thief to lay new traps. They can also be laid immediately after fleeing with no lag. It makes no sense at all to me for this to exist.
A shaman with 100% skill in blindness and that blindness edge still fails to blind people often, and their blindness can be cancelled. Just because it eats an easily obtained item for a trap thief, it gets to be 100% and no cancel?
The conversation about whether to try for the scales became, is Skaya awake? Maybe? Okay then no. Because there is a blindness trap in literally every room of the Spire (never mind other traps), so it was impossible.
As for Skaya coming to the tree, huntress yells and you know there's already a blindness trap so first one in gets blinded. That probably seemed acceptable with a larger player-base, but now first one in is more than likely the only defender. So you get blinded, run to the healer, hope you have enough items onhand to barter healing. I kept 3 in inventory when Skaya was around. I would often go through all 3 and still not cure blindness, so then you just have to wait. Can't go back to the Huntress because guess what? Another blindness trap. So she gets free retrieval, unless you do the hated Outlander thing of sitting camo at the Huntress any time you have the scales.
Staying in one room and never moving and telling all allies to stay out of the room was the only way to fight Skaya. So if I sat camo at the Huntress, she would immediately lay a trap (bacause no lag on that skill), I'd fight her, she'd flee. I can't pursue because I learned my lesson a few times before, blindness trap. So Skaya just gets to come be a nuisance as much as she wants since she can't be chased without being blinded, she can't be perma-lagged solo, and if an ally comes into the room the blindness trap hits you and them.
Make trap blindness cancellable, please, and/or have a save for blindness like all other blindness skills in the game. Otherwise, a single trap thief prevents any meaningful discussion about cabal wars.
