Sunburst not blinding?

Post by Daare »

I often use Sunburst to blind a crowd at the start of combat. However, this doesn't seem to work on this server. I've checked my log and every single creature failed their Reflex save (Ice Trolls) but they continued to chase me no matter how far I ran - even around corners. Usually, a blinded creature can't see you if you are more than a yard or two away. Has this spell been changed?

Or perhaps a problem with the AI and how aggro is handled? I ask this because on a few occasions, I've cast Invisibility on myself with no discernible effect on those chasing me.

Yes, sometimes you have to let the attacker come to you, only then do they usually stop. But even then they get a second chance at spotting you. Bioware hardcoded though. Nothing the devs can fix I think.

Thank Biowares following script. And if you think sunburst doesn't blind people, play a Drow. Freakin' matches blind Drow on this server.

*Curses Bioware* Thanks for the explanation. Good thing I have lots of practice running away.
