This would be a Huntsman only change, if it were to happen.
From huntsman pov, I found the change to blindside being a ranged attack works well, it improved play in that you could interrupt ranged mobs like defilers etc - very handy. Please don't make it melee. Although huntsman is slightly lacking in the melee department, so maybe either balance the dps for the 2-3 melee attacks that are already there, or introduce a strong melee attack that has a longer cooldown. Obviously huntsman is not meant to be a tanker or anything like that, but a somewhat stronger melee than what we have rn would be good.
