Scorching Blast blindness NEVER fails, even though the power says save versus spell to avoid. #1003

I never see this spell fail, I've leveled a draconic sorcerer easily from 1 to 48 using nothing but eq I could solo as a mage because it's an instacast no fail blind. I just time when it falls and reblind the mobs as needed, early on I was attacking mobs almost 20 levels above me and winning.

It does seem to land pretty consistently, but i've seen it fail, you can see my timer trigger setting my blind tracker to 0 here, and then my scorching blast failing to blind shortly afterward. could have been a fluke where the debuff just didn't fade from the mob when it was supposed to though, i know sometimes powers don't get cleared from status properly. image

Considering it always has landed the first time, timing issues are likely the cause of the failure, as the blind was still up. I use 31 seconds instead of 30 just in case and once it failed to reblind, I have seen timing issues before.
