How to counter "blind"?

Budget way to blind enemies - flame totem with blind support
Budget way to kill monster blinding you - any trap, any spell, any totem that doesn't use accuracy, any always hit attack Guild Leader The Amazon Basin <BASIN>

If Tosh doesn't realize how good Block and Shields are in poe then it might just be that he destined to live in ignorance. There are a plethora of strong builds that abuse both, its been that way for ages, and people even tried to convey as much in this thread. For instance if you're dying to random bosses with a properly set up max block Aegis Aurora build then you are doing it wrong (random block chance isn't even remotely an issue), the biggest problem that build has is mediocre dps to counteract the fact that it is practically immortal (other than maybe AFKing in poison clouds). I mean I remember one of the max block guys posting a video of him going AFK in double boss crema with nasty mods for like 3:30min just to show how powerful the build is at tanking.
And in terms of shields not being powerful, the vast majority of builds run a shield rather than a 2 hander because they are so strong (whether one is using it to stack ES, block, or something random like prism guardian varies). But I'm wasting time even trying to explain all this to Tosh so gnite folks :) |

" Let me guess, you dont like playing with shields? And you dont care or dont want shields to get a "facelift"? If you felt how it is when your character doesnt block 4-6 times in a row because of bad RNG you would have a clearer mind. Its a shame that some game mechanics are overpowered/unbalanced or being buffed while blocking is forgotten.

Played around 10characters without block = 2h weapons = they sucked, (this was before last major buffing to 2h weapons)
Played around 20character with shield most of them going for max block just because its SO strong. AND if block isnt the best defence in the game then spellblock is. |

Did you know that it is possible to reach near 100% elemental resistances without flasks(and over 100% with it)? Isnt this overpowered? And spell block chance is capped at 75%. Also you wont get good spell block without some sacrifices. And in the end - blocking is RNG
Almost forgot - and GGG introduced new support gem which reduces block chance. If you dont see how blocking is beaten to oblivion either you're ignorant or blind, no offence.

I didn't know that you exist, but here we have a guy who says that block is underpowered.
Block is not the primary defense, in no way, it's a bonus for survivability. In fact, block is ridiculously illogical when compared to the armour system. However, the resistances situation is ridiculous too, and the content is being based on overcapped resists. |

Blind is incredibly OP against crit melee builds.Before the nerf of corrupted area bosses,the snake boss of stagnant canal(docks CA) was harder for me than an unmodified shrine piety.Honestly!
Blind is totally OK in PvP though,and it should definetely not get nerfed,cause crit is really really powerful there. https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/417287 - Poutsos Flicker Nuke Shadow
