Talk:Blinding Surge

Woot, a little variation with Flash Bots, interesting. Ubermancer 02:52, 23 September 2006 (CDT)

Expect this to appear on a billion elementalist *secondaries*. You only need 2 Air Magic to keep one enemy blinded permanently! 5 energy, sweet recharge? Put it on a 'sin or something! -Flypaper

wamo's with mending are so dead with this skill -Angelo

This was highly annoying to me in Fort Aspenwood...infinite blind. Assassinman 00:46, 27 September 2006 (CDT)

NOT COOL!!!! blnding flash:same duration 3 times as long, longer recharge, no aoe. Then, of course, you just use both the sucker spells and blind anything you see. Or just echo this and blind a zillion trillion mobs in pve. (Not a fifty five 00:53, 27 September 2006 (CDT))


 * ouch. Warriors and sins get steamrolled with this.--Life Infusion 20:35, 28 September 2006 (CDT)
 * Hmmm, but will all the E/mo be willing to let go of their precious energy for HP? Still, this looks great. --Xeeron 06:47, 2 October 2006 (CDT)
 * Like someone said above, put it on an elementalist secondary. --Fyren 10:00, 2 October 2006 (CDT)

This is stupid powerful. STUPID powerful. This skill reeks of power creep, and I really hope it gets toned down. Tarinoc 13:45, 4 October 2006 (CDT)
 * How do you come to that conclusion? Its basically Lightning Strike + Blinding Flash that takes up an elite slot. I would still prefer dual attune air spiker or ether prodigy because theres a lot more I can do with it. Oh yeah, and this doesn't have AP so its really going to deal like 25 damage vs a warrior at full air. [[Image:Chuiu Me Icon.png]] (T/C) 13:49, 4 October 2006 (CDT)

The damage has nothing to do with it and is, as you say, minor. It's spammable, sustainable blind (on multiple foes if the target is enchanted) for 5 energy, and with bonus damage to boot. You could keep up to three people blinded indefinitely with this. Arshay Duskbrow 15:29, 4 October 2006 (CDT)
 * Yeah you could. Blinding Flash + Epidemic [[Image:Chuiu Me Icon.png]] (T/C) 16:15, 4 October 2006 (CDT)

Yes, except for that whole, "They have to be RIGHT BESIDE EACH OTHER" limitation. With Surge you can blind three people and keep them blinded with one skill anywhere within your spell range. Arshay Duskbrow 16:47, 4 October 2006 (CDT)
