no asuran scan?
That should be standard on any melee character imo

i have tried asuran scan but i prefer sneak attack
ok the damage from asuran scan is big but the mass, almost spamable blind is better and this is more of a defensive build. i have max in all the titles used in this build (and asuran btw) n i find this build works way much better than using asuran scan

Why be defensive when you can kill stuff before it kills you?

being defensive in the end is best
if u can out last any foe then u win its that simple
and if u actually check there is quite a bit of damage there including rank 10 aohm, 20 armor ignoring every hit, +27 from victorious scythe and the critical hit from wild blow
i reguarlly find myself hitting above 100 with this build

Frontliners kill. Single target blind will not help you achieve that and it won't really save you. A mid-liner can bring the debilitation.

If you still want blind, bring an ele hero or something with Blinding Surge, or an Earth ele with Eruption. Physical shutdown is usually better with a curses necro or just decent application of Aegis.

I recommend you bring an ER Ele hero:
Ether Renewal, Aura of Restoration, Prot Spirit, Spirit Bond, Aegis, Infuse Health, Dwayna's Kiss and Patient Spirit.
With PS and Aegis on a second hero, you get some decent aegis chaining and physicals are insignificant. A Curses necro with Sabway should have enfeebling blood and/or reckless haste. You just don't need blind.

Asuran Scan will speed up the killing process on these powerful enemies, blind just puts a physical out of action a little while.
