Something to do about Blink

[Deleted]

Blink doesn't fail for skilled players.

Yogg's room, Magmaw's room, Chimaeron's Room, Conclave anywhere near steps, and even Nef's room from grate to floor to grate.

Yogg, Magmaw and Chimaeron have the same problem, there's tiny outcroppings on the floor. If you're partially standing on them, blink will fail. It's not impossible to see them and avoid standing on them though. If you need, go in after your raid is done and blink around the rooms to see if you can figure out what's not good to stand on at a glance.

blink fails and will fail, even when there is nothing "sticking out of the floor that you can't see "

Join the club, friends. I always love disengaging onto the stairs at Conclave and basically waste my GCD with it.

I'm not saying it isn't impossible... but a tiny pebble on the ground = failed blink. When dodging a fire coming after you + pillar being thrown @ you, and then a massive crash while you're on the run the opposite direction, you have time to take a quick glance but not study the floor. It's an issue nontheless that is just annoying, however tolerable.

Even the best mage will die or take unnecessary dmg because they are at a spot where blink will fail.

Here's a solution...



Don't stand at the spot where blink will fail.

Hard to do when you're being pressured on those spots in Blade's Edge, Dalaran Sewers, Ruins of Lordaeron, and soon to be Ring of Valor.

I think the issue isn't with Blink, but more how the terrain was made. Just watch your Flame Orb sometimes and how it doesnt even move forward and just stay in place, like if one small, or maybe invisible, bump got in its way and completely block its movement. It's probably the same thing that is happening with Blink.

I mean, i cant even Blink properly in the perfectly flat corridors of Mana Tombs, its clearly the terrain that Blizzard messed up in some places.

they should reduce the CD on blink to like 3 or 4 seconds. my eyes are getting really dry. D:

LOL Yeah that would be amazing. Trying to catch up to a mage who can blink every 3 seconds in a arena. -.-

I ask my dash not have a CD then. =P

OT: Yeah you waste blink every so often. After playing my mage for so long, and being in the same areas for extended amounts of time I found myself remembering where I can blink and where I cannot. Try to keep a mental note where its not possible, that's the best you can do.

[graagh]

The biggest issue I think has to do with the fact it's a 2nd ability in a 3d world. Make it 3d (I really wanna be able to blink on top of the bridge in Blade's Edge please) and I suspect the problems would be remedied...



Something tells me this won't happen though.
