I can't help but say that its kind of funny that it takes so long to get such a simple skill.

If you Throw Dirt on my character to blind me, then start to lay down traps, I'd simply walk away and find another target. My character may be blind, but not me as a player to not notice what you're doing.

They can still walk away.

However, throw dirt with whirling defense, for example, gives you a nice breather in the arena from those two warriors trying to expose your innards to the outside world. Gives you a moment for reinforcements or to spam a little poison, or even to run to safer ground.

I'd just like to say that I love this skill. Sure, you need to be in touch range to use it, but whether it be PvE or PvP, this skill is so very effective at leaving melee attackers swinging away helplessly, doing nothing at all to their intended target. Any ranger with points in Expertise (which is almost all of them, I would think) should definitely consider using this skill.

Throw dirt is a great skill. It always much needed breathing room from the nasty Warrors that want to take me out.
