How strong is blindness?

Can't decide if blindness is strong or not. It is very good against solos but useless against swfs. What do you think?

  • Blindness and Hemorrhage especially need reworks to be better. Most the time they are near worthless.

    We're 4 years later and hooking still gives a notification ping eliminating the entire point of blindness.

  • Blindness can work well in slugging builds, But other than that it's kind of pointless.

  • It's only useful for slugging, but the only source consistent enough for slugging is third seal which is a hex perk and is bad as a result. Every other source of blindness is temporary and generally applies to the person getting slugged and by the time they're not a slug anymore it's generally expired.

  • It's situational. Blinding the team, or the designated rescuer on the team, does slow them down, but not as much as you'd think.

  • As a solo survivor who runs bond, kindred and better together, pretty strong.

  • Blindness is weak unless all survivors are blind at the same time, and not SWF.

  • Blindness itself is pretty strong, it trumps all aura reading perks. But there are no efficient ways to apply it and there are much better options.
