| So what's your point? You should hypnotize big guys because they can't dodge away from you? I fail to see your point. |

Hypnotise BGs & ST4 guys so that your ball carrier does not have to make
3 or 4 Dodge rolls (with negative modifiers) to get through the line --- instead that Ag 3 Thrall with the ball just runs right by them.
Cant see much use for HG apart from this, can you?

HG is also good for eliminating TZs. In the middle of a scrum, this can be more useful than simply blocking an opposing player, because without a knockdown the opposing player still cancels assists in a wide area. And it's still your best weapon against any player with Side Step or Stand Firm.

The last statement is true. However the primary use of hypnotic gaze has always been:
Declare blitz.
Run to cage.
Attempt hypnotic gaze on cage member
IF fails then hit player
ELSE hit ball carrier...
Which is why its less useful now. |

And the secondary use was to avoid making a dodge roll when leaving a tackle zone (especially that of a tackle player). Either to enter multiple tackle zones (like in the cage), or just to reduce the chances of a turnover.
So now we are left with the third use, making holes for other players to exploit. |

And even for that you usually had to move first. |

It doesn't act as Block, Dodge, or Sure Hands when you're being blocked. |

| Might be the case... or at least it will become one of the last skills taken, most likely. Apart from Big Guys of course, who might be willing to take that on doubles. |
