On my mesmer I had grabbed the trait that gives reflection to distortion with the expectation that this would apply to Blurred Frenzy. Well, it doesn’t <insert sad panda face here>, so before I go looking foolish in the Bug report area, are these distinctly different, Blur and Distortion? When I look them up the line seems a bit <forgive me> blurred.

From the wiki: ‘Distortion is an effect exclusive to mesmers which allows them to evade attacks for some time.’
And: ‘Blur is an effect that gives the player invulnerability’

The confusion and bug is that the blur effect is calling the invulnerability an evade as Distortion while it actually grants invulnerability wich is indeed a different effect. So its not a bug that blur is not the same as distortion, but it is a bug that blur has a confusing ingame description.

Hmm… so I either need to rethink that trait or squeeze a little more F4 into my life.
