blind godstone versus silence

which skills are affected by silence and which are by blind?

for example ranger is affected by both or one?
mages?

 

i think blind is for mellee attacks and silence is for skills that require casting. not so sure about the silence godstone though. supposedly you cant heal with a gladiator's healing skills when silence

 

silence godstone - any skills required mp to use then u cant use it i think

 

for me..

i socket my spear w/ silence, just to get the chance of silencing while killing Mage and Clerics w/ bigger dmg. and if silenced together w lockdown, my chances of killing them is higher.

and i socket my dual swords w/ blind.. well really to get high chance to dodge attacks coming from melees.. and using 1 sword w/ blind and a shield has been awesome for me when facing rangers and sins. w/ tendon slice.

but you have to consider.. its only 10%... chances are.. since i am using a glad. i wont feel the effects of my Godstones.

 

A LOT of stuff is affected by silence. Templar buffs/heal skills/pulls, etc.

People often associate silence with mages, which is a mistake.

Fact : blind will never kill a good player, silence will.

Of course, when 2.0 comes and greater heal pots and healing roots work, this will all be potable and people will go back to paralyze / immobilize

 

i do agree with you.. i prefer silence rather than blind.. 10 sec. you cannot use any skill could be fatal specially if your normal hits are weak and you only depend on your strong skill to kill. :wink:

 

silence for magic attack...and blind for physical attack......thats i know.....;p

 

And it's wrong.

Blind is an accuracy debuff. People with sky high accuracy will hit you through blind.

Silence prevents you from using magical skills (not just attacks). Hence no buffs, heals, etc. Pretty sure some of the ranger attacks (silence arrow, etc) cannot be used when silenced.

Also, I believe godstones do not trigger when silenced, but I could be wrong.

 

ya...thats it....blind for physical....and silence for magic....thats i mean.....

 

Godstones should be removed. All they do is encourage zerg.

 

haha ! i lol'ed your post.. haha

 

God stone effect 5%
Skills 20%
technique 50%
Good ping 25%
Total 100% Good Kill

 

You could be right.
Cuz godstone effect does rely on magic acc.
But I am not sure if it does at this server.
You have great chance of resist opponent's godstone effect if you have high Magic resist at retail.

Anyway, Whenever I got blinded or silenced i would just run, just die or even got stunned more and can't do anything so I am not really sure how it works here:sad:

 

SILENCE GODSTONE IS THE BEST. you cannot use any skills, heals, buffs

 

silence ftw it breaks combo's and seals magic users ^_^

 

As I said in another post, people only think about silence/blind because they're the only 2 in the cash shop (-and of course it means they're better right?).

For many classes, I think Paralyze godstone is better.

Silence often results in kiting issues, paralyze solves that.

For Chanters paralyze is bad because it breaks on knockdowns (crits with a staff equipped), but for many paralyze is very very good (and cheap too!).

 

Isn't it just silence magic skills?
I think we can still use Physical skills.
IMO both works good but best thing you do is having two weapon socket with Silence and Blind.
Cuz it depends on who you fight against.

 

Can anyone confirm this?
:biggrin:

I've played aion for quite a time now
I've been to 4 private servers already

as far as im concerned
i myself haven't experienced
hitting nor getting hit
when in the state of blind


so
anyone here who did hit
when blinded?
rangers?
sins?

It's easier to check when using chars of different levels, because your accuracy (reduced when blind) is checked vs your opponent's block/parry/evasion.

But if you're 55 with good accuracy, blind, and see a lvl 40 or so char with crap gear, try to hit him, you'll be able to. Obviously it's different from well geared people fighting, but the result is enough to validate the initial statement.

I don't know how much exactly it reduces accuracy. But if you socket accuracy, and use accuracy buffs at the right time (when blind), you end up with a pretty good chance of hitting through blind. Ofc, after that you still have to go through the opponent's block/parry/evasion.

But if you hitting the opponent is needed to get a particular effect, it can work. Extensive testing would be needed to check the exact numbers, but it fits for example with the Cleric Blinding Flash stigma that stats 'greatly reduces the opponent's accuracy' or something along those lines.

In any case, anyone who uses the blind godstone is either:
- spending his time dueling
- not very up to date on aion mechanics (and I'm being polite here).

 

The following is a list of the effects and what they are:

Bleed: Places a physical damage over time effect on the target
Blind: Reduces the target's accuracy with attacks
Paralyze: Completely stuns a target in place; they cannot take any action at all
Poison: Places a magical damage over time effect on the target
Root: Immobilizes the target in place; they cannot move
Silence: Causes a target to be unable to cast any spells
Slow: Reduces the attack speed of the target
Snare: Reduces the movement speed of the target
Stun: Completely stuns a target; they cannot take any action at all
Damage: Causes direct magical damage to the target

i guess buffs r included as spells + skills that involves casting
