Blind is a rogue class talent that blinds the target, causing it to wander at 40% of move speed confused for up to 1 minute. It is automatically learned for Outlaw.
Blind is considered a disorient effect. Any damage will remove the effect; Blind cancels the rogue's auto-attacks when used.
Tips and tactics
In the TCG.
- Considered a ranged attack, and cannot be dodged or parried.
- When fighting against other 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 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.
Trivia
- Blind is a rare rogue ability in the Trading Card Game. Its flavor text reads: "Arrrgh! My eyes!"
