Have you tried grouping with real players who don't bunch up and get spiked like a pincushion?
Oh, right, ... people skills...
Precisely.
Me and other people mix like oil and water... i.e. we don't.
This thread alone should be proof enough of that.
To be honest... I can't help it, and I have tried. These days I just accept that if I'm going to be rude no matter what I do, I might as well not apply any effort to not being (wasted effort makes me bitter).
In any case... thanks for your sage advice.

My Dervish won't be near this place for ages.... and I doubt anyone playing one has had much trouble in the joint... to be honest.

And?
I like Spoil Victor. And with Angorodon's Gaze managing its own energy thanks to blindness.... and Smooth Criminal as dual skill shut-down and energy management itself.... it doesn't work all that badly.
I know "It works" isn't the same as "It is good".... but as far as I'm concerned, "It works" is good enough for me. Now I'm more concerned about my herohench.

Once again, another complete failure to understand the magnitude of the blinding in question. Parties with several Skeletal Wizards dropping Eruption all over the place and spamming Blinding Surge on everything they come near. Even an entire party full of monks with Extinguish couldn't keep the Blind off.

Fair enough.... now to analyse your hero skill-bars and see if I can make them out.... not that I can help NOT being a Dervish, incidentally... but I might manage.
For the record though, I found Lo Sha working better than Cynn when I tried. Not sure what the girl's problem was, but she didn't seem up to the task.
Anyway folks.... thanks for your continued contributions to my nag-fest here.... and I do hope you'll continue to contribute... even if that means just telling me to "lern 2 play" ...

The problem has nothing to do with what I was personally doing this time and everything to do with difficult flagging and bad hero set-up. If you don't have a clue then don't post, tard.
You must be really bad at playing a sin then if the blood magic build worked better.

So all of your party is nothing but melee? Last time I checked, blind doesn't affect casters. Also, LoD should clean up the damage that your balled party of H+H might be receiving from Eruption so I fail to see the problem here.

Fail @ conclusion.
I play a sin perfectly well when I'm not blinded.
I play a sin perfectly well when I'm only blinded occasionally and it can be removed easily.
When, despite the best efforts of my party (many monks with condition removal) I remain blinded (or rather blind on, blind off, blind on, as it is) and cannot get a hit in.... that is where I fail at playing a sin....
... And guess what.
So would anyone else, smartarse.
Blinding = Anti-Melee.
Sins = Melee.
Fancy that.
Deadly Arts?
Perhaps I could, but I very much doubt it would work better than the Blood build... even if it does use an actual Assassin attribute.
And need I mention that I was in fact following the advice of several others here (in this very thread) in using Blood Magic. Your word against theirs; I'm just the arbitrary implementation.

Mhenlo sucks at using it perhaps?
Mhenlo was the first to die... annoyingly enough.... and the second.... and the fourth. He accumulated -60% before I was even to -15. Stupid tw4t that he is....
To be fair though, I'm not exactly a master multi-tasker with the flags and targets on the herohench though. I go about as far as flagging them all in one place and running to another myself... Any more means I have to dedicate myself to controlling them and doing nothing myself.

Hmm. innovative blood build on a sin. I like it. With assassins promise and some heavy recharge spells, wow. that could seriously put the hurt out.

^_^
Blood Drinker -> Angorodon's Gaze = 5 energy for 119 health.
Works better with Mindbender active to compensate for the long cast-times.
And on a more defensive note...
Shadow Sanctuary -> Angorodon's Gaze also works very nicely...
O'course... I found that my monks remove conditions much quicker when I'm standing in amongst them rather than in melee combat with the enemy.... which this time around could make it awkward to get in the AG before the condition was removed..... BUT... I managed most of the time.
I mean... main issue with an Assassin faking another class is usually energy management.... which is why that was my first concern. I'm not a total retard... thankfully.

I only said that because you seem to think that being blind shuts down your entire partys offense and that should only happen if basically everyone is melee.

No.
Originally... I WAS the offense.
If you want to feel right then perhaps it would help to know that all those doing damage were doing physical damage... alright? Myself, Talon and two Paragons (neither of which had spear attack skills).
After some unpleasantries in the Sepulchure of Dragimmar I decided to change my herohench for the first time in a LONG while... and switched out the old Two Elementalists and a Minion Master for Ranger + Paragon + Monk .... then switched again when I got Hayda to 2 Paragons + Monk.... and the Paragons on slightly differing but mostly defensive roles.
What can I say? I got paranoid.
Blindness aside, the set-up keeps the party alive beautifully.... and allows me to single-handedly rape entire mobs down with Death Blossom spam the way PvP sin players would cringe at.
Throw blind excessively into the mix though.... and the Paragons get no adrenaline, and I can't get any Critical Hits...
BUT
That was the first try.
Second try involved no Paragons, no Talon Silverwing... and the introduction of Lo Sha, Smiting Ogden and SS Livia.
Turned out it wipes out undead despite the blind much more easily.... BUT.... certain situations I'd rather not get into resulted in the monk henchies accumulating DP... being easily shut down... and the entire party then wiping repeatedly.
Not fun.
Almost made me miss the effectiveness I'd witnessed outside the blind-zone.

When we did those areas, we gave our warriors Sight Beyond Sight which was suggested in this thread already. The downtime isn't much, and Song of Purification during that cool down helps as well. Really there is no other solution to 4 enemies using Blinding Flash and Eruption if you don't have a lot of physicals unless you drastically change your build (your blood sin for example).

Well I'm not sure what makes my Warrior such a prodigy, but he seems to be able to use Sight Beyond Sight just fine. You can run around blinded all the time, or do 8 seconds worth of damage to wait out 7 seconds of blind.
Your incessant complaining gets a bit tired after maybe the first couple sentences.
15 Sep 2007 at 23:52 - 132
What is the rest of your team build, if I may ask?
16 Sep 2007 at 00:33 - 133
You make it sound like Critical Scythe won't work. The only new addition to my hero setup for this area was Ogden who is usually an MM. On my Dervish, i AM the damage. It took me only 3 chances at his Soul to kill (or was it 4...). Wounding Strike, Mystic Sweep, Eremite's Attack, Malicious Strike, Judges Insight and Warmongers Weapon = win.
The entire trip there was easy. Unless Prot Spirit/Shield of Deflection buggered things up most mobs would be dead in 10-20 seconds. 1 of the bosses survived a grand total of 3 attacks (doing 600, 200 and 300) and getting no spells off because the moment he got close Eremite's would interrupt the Shock.
And Lo Sha is a useless pile of wank down there. Several times i had my Spellbreaker removed thanks to a Hex Eater Vortex. Defender's Zeal was pretty useless in that respect too... anything it was cast on was usually dead 2 seconds later.
And wtf is wrong with Sepulchre... i just did that on my Assassin about an hour ago and completely walked it. The last boss didn't get a whole lot off with Zho there for the BHA and my Warmongers Weapon.

Wow cause their isnt 7, SEVEN, other people on your team, honestly how hard is it to kill Skeleton Wizards. Really. Think about it.
16 Sep 2007 at 00:51 - 135
I went into Shards of Orr today with my warrior, and I have to say that the blind was the least of my problems there. The 3 skeletal wizards blinding everything that moved was bad, but not like the mass eruptions, the poison,disease and the brutes beating my monks senseless while we all died slowly.
For 1, Ogden needs to be a RC/Dismiss monk, and could smite abit, too. Secondly, earthquake/aftershocking the whole team with 3 casters doing it nearly simultaneously was a new experience that one must appreciate. Third, 2 dervish heroes may just do the trick. If I can't kill everyone, then use what you know works, like 2 melandru dervish heroes.
Properly set up, the team can drag your dead carcass through there.

This thread caught my eye after going through Shards of Orr on my way to Gadd's earlier today. I was with a couple guildies (and there heros), so I'm sure my trip was far less annoying. I was useless and my team was basically playing a man down because of me being shut down from blindness most of the time.
After reading through some of this thread, I decided to go back in on my own. I didn't spend a lot of time there, but I think I've found a few things that may have been making your problems even worse. A lot of it comes down to hero/hench AI behavior differences based on what profession the human player is. I took a couple trips each through the 1st few mobs on my assassin and my elemenalist. The only difference in team setup was my own character, every time I had 3 heros(MM, earth ele w/wards, heal monk) and 4 hench (Talon, Cynn, Zho, Lina).
On my ele things went rather smoothly. The hench war took the 1st spikes of damage and took the AoEs away from casters. The enemies did end up back amoung the casters, but the wards and healing was enough to keep them from doing too much damage. There were a few times where they would get a spike kill, but nothing close to a full party wipe.
The assassin is a much different story. The fights started off the same with the war hench going in 1st. I went in a few seconds behind Talon, and the rest of a heros (even though already casting/attacking) followed me up part of the way, putting them closer to the enemies and outside of wards. After getting a few hits in I was blinded and unable to do any damage leaving all the killing up to the H/H team. This is when I noticed the strangest problem. Once I was blinded and not hitting my target the heros were behaving like I was afk/dead and seemed to be ingoring called targets. I was calling a target and watching its health stay at bascially the same level untill the whole fight went south and H/H started to get killed.
Flagging H/H is clearly a must in here for any melee character or they will follow you into the fight. Hero's have never really acted right when their master is a close-up fighter; they always want to get to close. Hero location/flag issues are nothing new, but the deal with not obeying a blinded player really has me confused. I went back in with my ele and just wanded at the enemies and they seemed to do the same thing. Either my characters are doing 90% of the damage output, or these heros are actually ingoring my target (and all attacking random things) because I'm not actually hitting with my attacks or casting a spell. I'll have to mess around more with it later, but I think there might be something to heros and a blinded master.

SotiCoto,
I've read a couple complaint threads from you and you are quick to lash out to ArenaNet. Its understandable but there comes a time when you need to realize the problem isn't the game, its the way you are playing the game. I think by now you should have greater understanding of the need to alter your builds and tactics accordingly.
As you can see there is plenty of help in this thread, along with the putdowns aimed at you. There would be less of the latter if you'd show little more willingness to change your builds and tactics. Please understand that not every advice is going to work, Guild Wars is always evolving in terms of builds, so there is always something to learn and improve on.
All I ask is that you channel your frustration in a diplomatic manner, Otherwise people are going continue to label you as stubborn, and poor player because of it.
Wisdom is conquered with patience.
16 Sep 2007 at 03:38 - 141
You could always turn up your gamma.
In other news, you could bring a little extra random condition removal on a hero (or yourself)
My derv seems to have no problem; Maybe I should actually go out and get sand shards and play with that for awile.
16 Sep 2007 at 05:38 - 142
Get your character a blind fold and save the enemy ai a spell.

16 Sep 2007 at 06:16 - 143
Wow the OP is being all defensive and particular and just ranting... chill man.
Hmmm... let's see... 3 monks... Condition management Paragon... Earth Ele (most likely warder/damage)
ok, so you have 3 heal/prot and 2 passive healers/prots.... meaning you're main damage comes from 3 people, -that- might be your problem.
I rolled through all the dungeons thus far with 6 Savannah Heat eles and 2 monks... granted I had a partner with heroes with me, but still.
If you want to FORCE your team to revolve around your assassin, then maybe Xinrae's Weapon, have some nukers in your party, 2 MS+ 2 Sav Heats from heroes = gg softies.

I'd be more than willing to change my team build if those I requested help from were more willing to tell me how it is done.... or what changes need to be made.
Instead what they have done is the directional equivalent of "somewhere over there.... or maybe over there..." ... i.e. useless... AND I expect they know it. There have only been a few actually helpful posts here at all...

Suits me fine. Everything I do ends up being rude to someone.... but all I really want is to get the job done. I want to get the damned Shards of Orr out of the way and get on to the next dungeon.
Any help with that would be appreciated.
16 Sep 2007 at 12:59 - 150
I just have to say; be less bad. RC has a 2-second recharge. RC on one monk and Dismiss on the other is plenty; if you are still having trouble with conditions, you need to stop tanking eruption.
Also, bring a MM? A nuker or five? Easy ways to win, all immune to blind. There are so many options other than running a full-melee team with not enough condi removal that you shouldn't even be trying it.

All well and good in theory... but I can't keep an eye on the castings of 4 Skeletal Wizards at the same time to avoid one of them either casting Eruption or Blinding Surge on me.
Those two condition removals are NOT plenty by any stretch of the imagination... and I say that from personal experience. I've tried it... AND more.

Sadly not immune to damage.... especially when it is due to bad AI and running into poison jet-streams in some places. I'm really starting to hate my heroes.

Paragons aren't melee... Monks aren't melee... Earth elementalists aren't melee.... And there is condition removal riddled throughout.
I'm not saying I disagree with you entirely. There are MANY options, though 99% of them would end in failure... It is coming across that remaining 1% that is giving me difficulty.

Deadly Paradox, Arcane Echo, Shadow Form.

Shadow Form is for chest-running and boss-farming.
Shadow Form is not for general PvE.
Furthermore Shadow Form won't do squat against Eruption because it doesn't need to target me to blind me.

I say it's time to break out Sand Shards!!111! Grab a scythe, crank earth to max, put on Critical Agility and pwnz0rz!
Actually, I'm only half-joking about Sand Shards. It's potentially 63 damage a swing to all nearby foes at 12 Earth Prayers. Granted, it's not incredible damage, but it's a decent way to get consistent DPS under constant blind. The irony here is that you wouldn't want blind removed, so you might have to take out or disable condition removal on your monks :P.
Those going on about condition removal need to cut it out, frankly. It doesn't help to remove blinds if they're reapplied immediately after. Blind immunity via Sight Beyond Sight, Melandru's, etc. is the only solidly effective response if you actually want to keep blinds off. Well that, or just killing/disrupting the ****ers blinding you.
Actually - I wonder if running a choking gas ranger would make any difference in Shards. If you ball them all up, maybe. No guarantees that a hero can play it correctly though.
An alternative is to run Crit Barrage and always send in a hero warrior first to absorb the blinds. If you stay as far back as possible (bring a longbow, obviously), this should keep you relatively blind-free most of the time.
Another way to do it is to time your attacks to coincide with blind removals. In other words, select a target and just auto-attack it, even when blind, and watch your effects monitor. The moment blind comes off, hit your attack skill. In GvG, this is usually coordinated in reverse (i.e., the blind removal is timed to the spike), but you can't exactly get your heroes to do that. Downside is that you still spend most of your time doing no damage, but at least you won't be entirely useless.
16 Sep 2007 at 14:30 - 156
My 'sin uses Plague Touch if the monk heroes are having trouble removing the blindness. Really, that's about it. Other than that, I just try to stay out of Eruption. If a particularly enemy is continually re-applying Blind then I'll attack something else and come back to it later. Blindness does suck for 'sins, since it interrupts our energy flow but an ounce of prevention is worth a point of cure, as some tiresome person once said.

Well that was spectacularly unfun. I got to Fendi in good shape, but his crew seem to have hit the steroids since I was last there. When the soul appears you have to ignore the the damned crewmen and use the small window of opportunity to damage him. Which means a load of spirits around you and then 6xDestructive Was Glaive spike!! Then when he turns back again, 6 rangers appear who spike kill monks and eles. Was up to 60dp very quickly and reduced to running from the rez shrine to the bridge pulling him over and doing as much damage as poss before the next party wipe. Got there in the end though...Thank God the soul doesn't regen! 
Anyway I got there by flagging H/H well back then using my bow to pull. The wizards have been watching Zhed and are determined to run miles from healers to get shock off, so we picked them off 1 or 2 at a time. Brute groups I ranger tanked (WD ...pray....Throw Dirt...pray some more). The offer still stands, SotiCoto, I would be happy to team with you for it. I guess if I use the same tactic to pull them, then you dive in and rip the hell out of them, we should be ok. You will certainly be more effective than Talon and we can set up your ele and 2 monk heroes with better builds than Lina, mhenlo and Cynn use.
I was only joking about being rude btw, I am not easily offended and I reckon we will get on fine.

You...are in denial. Your posts are utter crap. Have you ever considered why people troll them and flame them? The answer is because you make yourself such an irresistible target.
Hint 1: Find a belt to tie around your neck.
Hint 2: Use scissors on your wrist.

A good offense is a good defense.

I'm not saying I disagree with you entirely. There are MANY options, though 99% of them would end in failure... It is coming across that remaining 1% that is giving me difficulty.
Paragons are physicals and blind effects physicals. GG. 99% failure? I don't think so. What is it you like to say? Fail @ Conclusion

People did try to help but you were to stubborn. So it is your fault you don't get help. Try to think of that next time you decide to make a new thread.

if something is being spammed on you it makes it easy to disable, if you miss it once just wait a few seconds and you get another chance at interrupting, either with diversion and add a minute to the recharge, or distracting shot and add 20 seconds.
If you're running a group build that doesn't work under blind you need to rethink your build.
