- "Arrrghh! My eyes!"[1]
Blinds the target, causing it to wander at 40% of move speed confused for up to 10 seconds. This is a disorient effect. Any damage will cancel the Blind effect. Blind cancels combat (turns off auto attacks) when used.
Notes
- Any further damage will break the effect of Blind, so Blind does not combine well with DoT attacks like
[Garrote] or 
[Rupture]. - Considered a ranged attack, and cannot be dodged or parried.
Related Items
- The 3 piece bonus of the Madcap's Outfit armor set decreases the cooldown of blind by 20 seconds.
Talent improvement
- [Elusiveness] reduces the cooldown of your blind by 30/60 seconds.
Tips and tactics
- When fighting rogues, spamming your blind ability can give you an opportunity to break out of a stunlock.
- Blind gives opportunity to use First Aid - use it!
- Blind can now be dispelled with PvP trinket so beware of relying fully on it.
- Blind is a great way to interrupt a spellcast in the case of an emergency when your
[Kick] is either on cooldown or you are too far away. - In PvP, if you find yourself in need of a Blind and have Deadly Poisons stacked on the target, use Envenom to consume the poison so you can safely Blind the foe, bandage, and restealth.
Patch changes
- Patch 4.0.6 (2011-02-08): Now has a PvP duration of 8 seconds.
- Template:Patched
- Patch 2.3.0 (2007-11-13): Blind is now a physical (no longer a poison) attack. [Reagent] requirement removed. Now shares the same diminish category as [Cyclone] and is now diminished in PvE as well as PvP.
- Previously blind was a nature attack like poison. [Blinding Powder] is now a Grey-quality item ("vendor trash") which can sometimes be found in lockboxes obtained through Pickpocketing. There is a tooltip on the item that explains why Blind no longer needs a Reagent: "Once favored by rogues as a blinding agent, it was abandoned for more readily available resources... like dirt."
