Suggestion Necromancer : Despair's Blind

[JupiterRome]

Due to People using Optifine (Making Blind not work, I have been told) I Belive the Blind on Despair should Do 1 of 2 things.

1. Slow the Targets hit instead of the Blind.
2. Give Nausea Instead of the Blind.

Just To Balance it out.

The point of blind is for the seudo-silence I thought?
If the skill was to be changed I suggest it either silences or go with the slow effect. An AOE slow would be pretty useful, and it could simply be rebalanced damage wise if the damage + slow was too much.

Great Point!
We should Probobly Keep the SIlence due to it being basically necros only silence, well not basically

Current Despair:
Despair
Mana: 125
CD: 28 sec
You deal (25 + 1 per intellect point) damage and blind all enemies within 8 blocks around you for (1.5 + 0.062 per charisma point) seconds. Takes 1.5 seconds to warm up.

New Despair:
Desapir
Mana: 125
CD: 28 sec
You deal (20 + .5 per Int) damage and silence all enemies within 10 blocks for (1.5+.062 per Charisma) 1.5 sec warmup

Essentially I suggest a damage decrease, range increase, and actually silencing enemies hit.

Balance wise, should a damage mage have such a strong CC skill?

I believe Necro can stay balanced, and still keep despair. i think the damage should be lowered a bit, as you're not doing this for the damage. It's for the silence. The blindness effect was great because you could lead with it, then warmup Plague or Famine, follow up Drain Soul and then start a kite. In a team fight Desapir could limit the other teams Magic burst for a short time.

All in all, Necro should keep Despair IMO.

Jupiter suggestion was just to change it because people can use OptiFine to ignore the blindness effect.

I agree Necro is in a very Strong Spot At the Moment but Optifine gives an un fair advantage when not all of us use it and makes this skill basically worthless besides the silence, Nausea and Silence would be good IMO

I know its off topic, but why does it feel that this should be a DK skill instead?

I know its off topic, bu why does it feel that this should be a DK skill instead?

Because Necro is Op as Fuck and Dreadknight Has like a few very Strong skills but those should be nerfed and it should be given more skills

Harmshield and despair would both fit DK well and harmshield doesn't fit necro at all
