Glancing Blows is a flawed system as it stands, while it current serves as an 'in-between' for a full evasion system and our previous evasion system, right now it has a strong issue with:
A) The probability of getting a glancing hit is absurd as illustrated by one of my previous posts where you can refer to a small probability chart. You need at least 85% hit to get anywhere.
...omitted for brevity...
E) Blind as a status is absurdly oppressive as it allows even tanks with zero celerity investment to have a 44% chance to at least get a glancing blow provided they're able to inflict the status to begin with.
I echo Miller's sentiments. Though it's pointless for me to reiterate a post verbatim, I will at least mention two things since they are the points I feel most strongly about. Having to land two consecutive hits to prevent a Glancing Blow and accomplish something meaningful feels bad, and the way Blind plays with this glancing system feels worse -- especially when it's against a full tank.
