Blind

Hi,

Iv been doing a lot of random arenas lately and want to make sure im on a level playing field Occasionally - probably when I come across someone half decent I get blinded a lot

I already have a reduces blind shield that and want to know how it works and whether it stacks in order to keep me as blind free as possible

For example: can I just switch sets (from main set to the set with the reduce blind shield) for 1 second and the reduces blind bonus on the shield will kick in or is it needed to be on for the duration of the blind?

Also if this is the case, can I switch to shield and then switch to a staff that reduces blind by 20%, making blind last about 40% less

No, the reduction only takes effect if you have it equipped when the condition occurs. Swapping won't do you any good after the fact.

another question to add to that does it stack like lets say you have reduses blind on your sheild will it stack with one on your weapon

I have never seen a Reduced Blindness single-handed weapon, but if there is such a thing then yes; it should stack.

blinding! lol.. had to be done

To deal with being blinded some people take a w/n (or a/n or r/n) into random arenas so they can use the skill plague touch to get rid of it. Another, rarer option is to go w/mo and maintain an enchant like mending (*shudders*) or holy veil on yourself and bring contemplation of purity - this can get rid of a condition and a one or with veil two hex(es) at once, which may also be handy. Using up to skill slots isn't ideal, but when blind or SS or sth is stopping you dealing damage totally then it might be worth it. A third /mo option is purge conditions, but the recharge is a bit slow. You could even try mend ailment.
