Was there such a thing before?

  • Thanks. I noticed it lasts ~8 secs from the blackout hit, but I've only been testing from dominator mobs, not sure if it's the same for PvP abilities. This makes me very happy.

    It's meant to be 50% the length of the full blackout.
  • What? If it's meant to be half the length of the blackout, what use is it? By the time the blackout is gone, the immunity would have been long gone, so you're preventing people from hitting you with blackout while you are blacked out, which... does nothing anyway, except maybe lengthen the blackout timer if the subsequent hits last longer... except if they do it in the later half of the blackout it'll still go through.

    I think it's on the assumption you cure blackout and your herb balance is back before they can reapply it.

  • Correct me if I'm wrong, but the only curative that cures blackout is allheale. The only other things that cure blackout will be class based abilities or stuff like green. If it's working on the assumption that the blackout is cured, then it's a very poor assumption indeed.

    Sorry, I meant including the length of the blackout.

    I stand corrected, I confused it with blindness and was thinking faeleaf.

    Still you could probably get allheale balance back before someone can reapply blackout.

  • Ah, so it's meant to last 50% of the blackout time, starting from after the blackout wears off. I see, that makes more sense. Related question: Does that apply from when the blackout is cured early, or does it take the entire would-be blackout time into consideration?

    Sidenote: Allheale balance is on a 20sec timer, so most blackout capable classes, except maybe warriors, can usually hit you with it once or twice more before you get allheale balance back. Using allheale to cure blackout in the first place isn't very reliable anyway, since it's likely to cure something else, so allheale's balance time is more or less a moot point.

    It counts from when the blackout is cured, for 50% of the time the blackout actually lasted.
  • It's like stun immunity, but if stun were somehow kinda curable.

    If you want to blackout like a champ just dominate your target to sip allheale right before you black them out.
