Blind Spell

I'm being told by several guildies that they are increasing mob hpts & damage, if this is true, why don't the devs just fix this one spell instead of increasing damage & hpts of mobs. As the spell is currently we are all out there fighting naked killing 200+ mobs with ease. Even the level 1 spell blind immobilizes a mob no matter the level it is. If they fixed this one spell they wouldn't have need to double hpts/damage of mobs. And I'm growing sick of hearing different guilds saying they are the only ones using this spell. You are not the only guild using this spell we're all using it to gain levels super fast.

Forgive me for evidently being out of the loop on this, but they want to jack up the HP on the mobs? GAH!!! NO!!! They did that in SWG and it sucked! They took lairs that had 3k hp and jacked them to over 30k because people figured out they could go in and strike the lair without taking out the other critters and then burst run away and it TOTALLY sucked! You'd spend 4 minutes just mindlessly beating on a lair with no resisitance after you killed off it's critters to finish the mission. I didn't really think it was a problem really. I mean you've got the XP cap (which can be annoying) so who cares if you kill a level 100 or a level 200 to hit that cap? I'd actually like to see XP bonuses to full groups like EQ had.

Have to agree with original poster, and tbh I'm surprised there hasn't been more noise about blind. I may be shooting myself in the foot because I have blind myself, but frankly it's quite obviously horribly broken.
It roots/immobilises/increases damage done to mob. Why would anyone use any of the other link spells? (Mob resistance to blind notwithstanding).
I personally hope they fix it pretty soon. Getting tedious spamming blind and I feel I can't stop or the group will suffer. When a lvl 1 blind spell can be cast repeatedly on a lvl 142 Frahar and totally stop it dead, something's wrong.
Everyone knows a fix must be coming, can we have some official word on this please?
