[Sombre]

No, it's not ironic. You may think I'm overestimating the utility of mr against blindness, soul slay etc, but I think you're underestimating it.

You said any fire mage could easily counter SCs with blindness. I simply don't believe this is true with the mr check. The math with mr checks has never really seemed to match what actually happens in the game, but I think you'd need a LOT of mages casting blindness to make 25 mr 'very poor protection'. We're not talking about anything more than 'one mage casting it twice' working here.
