Blind is considered a ranged attack and does not interact with Dodge chance.
I believe Evasion did not work on Blind in Original Vanilla or Classic 2019, and therefore Era.
Evasion gets changed to 50% dodge, 25% ranged miss chance in TBC and that is the first time you can use Evasion and have it give a stat that interacts with Blind (the miss chance).
Happy to be wrong on this if there is evidence to the contrary, but this is my experience and testing of the abilities.

I can 100% prove it; it also worked correctly until maybe 3 patches ago, but for some reason its behaving incorrectly.
Feel free to enjoy the whole video, but the part you would be interested in starts @time stamp 5:40 some rogue v rogue fun.
Thanks for this, it definitely says Blind was Dodged in the combat log.
But this is pre-1.10 when Blind was changed to a ranged attack.
Can check the patch notes here for Blind at the bottom of the page: wowpedia.fandom . com/wiki/Blind#:~:text=Blind%20is%20a%20rogue%20class,rogueâs%20auto%2Dattacks%20when%20used.
Era, 2019 Vanilla, etc. Have all been off the 1.12.3 patch.

I understand its based on 1.12, but i am certain Blind and evasion mechanics remained consistent until it was made a physical spell in TBC.
I am not certain of backend changes outide the database, I can only tell you how we all played it and that evasion (not base dodge) worked.
The change to how things worked in TBC kept the function by also changing how evasion works to be also avoidance of range attack
I can assure you, Blind did not interact with Dodge mechanics at all for the last 5.5 months of vanilla wow, which was only about 20% of the gameâs life time.
In 1.10 Blind was changed to a ranged attack and could no longer be Parried or Dodged. (Here near the middle of the scroll bar under âRogueâ).

Evasion has no secret behind it in vanilla and is simply âApply Aura: Mod Dodge % value: 50â. So it only ever gave Dodge in vanilla and didnât have an extra component until TBC.
Not sure what else to tell you Harland. Unless there is very clear evidence post 1.10, pre-2.0.3 that Blind could be dodged through evasion.

Not to be too much of a stickler of accuracy here, but posting a video on the internet doesnât really serve as 100% proof in that we may question its authenticity. Iâm not stating that I doubt this video is accurate, just that Iâd be more inclined to state something like, âAccording to this video I found online, it looks like this was the case,â over âI can 100% proveâŚâ
Iâve also heard from a friend that the way a hunterâs Scatter Shot â Trap can sometimes be avoided by just walking away from the trap is different from how it worked on Private Servers, but not sure if thatâs how it worked in the last patch of Wrath or not, or whether this behavior is accurate.
Does not bother me because we just changed the meta of play; just pointing out how we played it.
