Bug: Flash grenade blinds yourself!!

Not sure if this happens only on PS5, but Flash Grenades currently blind me, and not just "Allies" and Enemies. Reading the tooltip, "Allies" does not include yourself so I don't understand why when I flash grenade I see the Blind icon along with lower evasion. Am I missing something or is this a genuine bug ?
My Rates (as of 9/14/2014) are:
1 exalt:1 divine:9 gcp
1 gcp:2 regret:3.5 chaos
1 chaos: 1 scouring: 2 fusing: 2.5 alch
Also, always looking to trade for chromes! 8:1 chaos

Not a bug. Re-read the skill description.
"
Fires a bouncing grenade that unleashes a Blinding, Stunning explosion when its fuse expires. This explosion can Blind both Allies and Enemies.


When hovering over Allies

"
Your allies include other players, Minions, and any other entity that fights alongside you and has its own stats.

You do not count as your own ally.



So based on that last sentence, why should Flash Grenade blind me ?

My apologies, it doesn't say so in the skill description (and probably should) but it shows the flashbang blinding the player in the skill demonstration video.

So, not a bug, but I agree it probably should clarify how the ability works on the tooltip.
