Blind is a level 24 Outlaw and Subtlety rogue ability. It blinds the target, causing it to wander at 40% of move speed confused for up to 1 minute. This is a disorient effect. Any damage will cancel the Blind effect. Blind cancels combat (turns off auto attacks) when used.

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 either your
[Kick] or
[Gouge] are on cooldown or you are too far away.
