Buff/Debuff Effects

Blinds the target.

Mechanics

Resist Chance

Each point of the target's Magic Resist adds 0.05% to its chance to resist this debuff. Each 1% of the caster's Accuracy subtracts 1% from that chance. Each level the target is above the caster adds 0.5%, and each level below subtracts 0.5%, up to 10% either way. The chance stays between 0% and 90%. See resistance and avoidance.

This debuff has no effect on monsters whose pages list Immune to Debuffs.

Cleanse Resist

This debuff has 50% Cleanse Resist and three layers. Cleansing removes the debuff only after all three are gone. A matching cleanse always removes one layer. Each of the other two layers has an independent 50% × (100% + the cleansing caster's Accuracy) chance of removal, limited to 0% - 100%. At 100%, one cast removes all three layers. See cleanse calculations.

Blindness

Blindness covers the affected player's screen with a black overlay for the effect's duration. It changes no combat stats and affects only players. The overlay fades out over 1 second when the effect ends.
