Blinding

[cbk1994]

Blinding is a overpowered. Everyone uses xmas flaming swords now because the decider in a spar is often times who can blind the other first.

The problem is that it lasts too long. Instead of it acting like poison (i.e. you get it and it stays for several minutes), the blinding rate should be increased and when you get it, you are blinded for a couple seconds right as you are slashed, and then you can see again. You could then be reblinded immediately if you happened to get hit again.

So, if someone is using an xmas flaming sword (or another weapon with blinding), there's a 25% chance that when they hit you, you can't see for 1-2 seconds. This could be even more deadly in some circumstances, since you're near the other player when you go blind. Right now you can pretty much just run in circles when your screen goes black to avoid the enemy since you have some warning.

There are other (possibly better) ways it could be fixed, so I'd like to hear other ideas as well.
