What u think. ~~ frvwfr2 (talk · contributions) 03:07, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

Sure. Of course, only if you want more gay signet spikes. -- NUKLEAR IIV 12:56, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

Well, then switch it with SoTS. This could really use a buff. This skill suxxxx. ~~ frvwfr2 (talk · contributions) 16:32, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

Why have another SoTS clone? People will jsut bring both, considering blind isn't that hard to get for 100 dark damage. -- NUKLEAR IIV 17:00, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

Blind is significantly more difficult than poison to get. Thus, it should be BETTER than SoTS, but for some reason it isn't. ~~ frvwfr2 (talk · contributions) 22:31, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

consider that all (3) of the sin blind skills that target a foes have a 20 sec recharge on them, decreasing the recharge on this would synergies it better, althought this skill is slightly stronger then SOTS, and small buff wouldn't hurt to have this see some use --Metal Sazz 00:54, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

Compared with Signet of Toxic Shock, this skill does less damage but is perhaps slightly balanced out by the fact that some is unconditional (so if the Blind gets removed or you randomly use it by accident or something at least it isn't totally wasted). Then add in the fact that Blind is harder to apply, especially for a sin, and it starts to look a bit poorer. The thing that really kills it, though (the rest is kinda negligible compared to this), is the fact that it takes twice as long to recharge, so overally you get less than half the damage.

Now, bearing in mind that SoTS is propable a bit overpowered anyway, this maybe shouldn't be buffed that far, but it does need a buff. Reduce the recharge, maybe to 20-25 and then buff the unconditional damage a bit or somesuch.
