"Blind Strike; Sightless Strike"

[deadlydeceiver]

Heyho,

I just stumbled across a change to most tail strikes.
Apparently most of them changed from pure "blind Strikes" (or pure sightless strikes) to blind and sightless strikes.
What does that mean game wise?
Are all blind strikes now also sightless strikes, so "all around" attacks?
Or is this only refering to them having no penalties for attacking to the back?

Tail attacks are blind strikes in order to negate blind attacks on the warrior that has the tail. They're sightless strikes so that they can attack all around them too, now - having thought about it a lot, it seemed silly that they wouldn't use those tails to strike to the front.

There are some stubby tails that don't get sightless strikes, mind; and some blind strikes can't be sightless strikes. But most long tails are both.

Thanks for the quick answer. That sounds like a nice boost to most "tail whippers" ^^

Does the Krokokh miss the "Blind Strike" on purpose?

Yes, he's only got a stubby tail.

Yes, he's only got a stubby tail.

Haha, alright it looked quite long in the artwork.
But shouldn't he in this case only have "Blind Strike" and not only "Sightless Strike"? Or am I missing the point here?

Bah, yea, I was thinking of something else - he should have blind and sightless too. Apologies!
