Overview

Blind

Blinds the target, causing it to wander at 40% of move speed confused for up to 10 seconds. Blind requires Inv misc ammo gunpowder 01 [Blinding Powder], and any damage will cancel the Blind effect. Blind cancels combat (turns of auto attacks) when used.

Functionality

Blinds the target, causing it to wander disoriented for up to 10 sec. Any damage caused will remove the effect.

Use

30 Energy
Instant cast
10 yard range
3 minute cooldown
Requires Inv misc ammo gunpowder 01 [Blinding Powder]

Limitations

  • Succeptible to diminishing returns and is considered a disorient effect.
  • Any further damage will break the effect of Blind, so Blind does not combine well with DoT attacks like Ability rogue garrote [Garrote] or Ability rogue rupture [Rupture].
  • Blind is considered a poison, so it is possible for other classes to "cure" blind off of afflicted targets.
  • The cooldown for Blind is not reset by Spell shadow antishadow [Preparation].

Notes

  • Considered a ranged attack, and cannot be dodged or parried.
  • Inv misc ammo gunpowder 01 [Blinding Powder] is created through a rogue's poison profession.

Related Talents

  • Ability racial ultravision [Elusiveness] reduces the cooldown of your blind by 45 or 90 seconds.

Related Items

  • The 3 piece bonus of the Madcap's Outfit armor set decreases the cooldown of blind by 20 seconds.

Tips

  • When fighting shamans, be wary of poison cleansing totems as they might break your blind earlier than expected.
  • When fighting rogues, spamming your blind ability can give you an opportunity to break out of a stunlock.
  • In PvP, using blind gives you plenty of time to bandage and restealth, so consider alternating uses of vanish and blind as means of restealthing in combat.
