The more obvious solution is to make the order of the attacks different:

1. Trigger the unblockable teleport projectile that deals no damage.

2: Trigger the blockable blind and strike that are now the same attack.

This means that you avoid the potential reverse-pull but also allow players to counter the blind.

EDIT: Or if possible just make the reverse pull not happen if it’s reflected and just have it blind/damage the teef instead.

Your second suggestion is the only one that would work, as the teleport and blind are currently tied together. Same goes with the edit – reflect and block fall under the same category in the game engine.

In my opinion if you tie the blind to the strike it won’t change much of anything, you’ll likely still complain about blinds. There are ways to force people out of blocks or negate the affects. Aegis is easy to remove and certain abilities can stun/interrupt through block (Choking Gas + Basilisk Venom, Warrior Signet, Necro Fear Mark, Guardian GS pull, etc). Unblockable abilities add counterplay to the plethora of blocks in the game – removing them only increase the strength of things like Gear Shield, Aegis, Shelter, etc. The things broken at the moment are those that are un-dodgeable (Taunt, Blinding Dissipation). Nothing should be un-dodgeable/un-invulnerable.

Most unblockable skill in this game are from utilities or trait, they are also fairly rare. Having access to a skill that is unblockable just because the devs needed an easy solution to the reflect issue isn’t a good enough reason for it to be a basic attack skill imo. Having Shadow Shot being unblockable isn’t keeping blocks from being the be-all-end-all. It also makes it laughably easy for a Teef to stay in melee range and makes kiting them more difficult than it used to be.

You are the reason that Anet puts low skill classes builds into this game. Please realize that while you do have an opinion on this public forum yours is disregarded in anything talking balance.

I hope you have a wonderful day and I’m sorry for telling you the truth.

Hahaha,low skill classes build rofl.

Between a master and apprentice, i would love to see the differences.

I’m such in a happy place right now, playing against blind bots like it’s GW1 all over again.

Pretty sure black powder got a heavy nerf a while back, not sure thief needs to be punished more.

OP as to your suggestion about changing how blind works for various classes, I would say blind should remain the same on thief, but be nerfed as you suggest for other classes. Also warrior’s auto-condi cleanse on bow f1 should only work if it actually hits (or have they changed that already?, if so good).
