Knockdown vs. Blind Fighting

I've built an elven rogue/fighter/shadowdancer, to go through HotU campaign.

Most of feats are pretty mandatory (finesse, dodoge/mobility, two weapon fighting feats, power attack/cleave, rapier focus/spec/imp. critical)

I have a room for one pre-epic feat, and I'm considering Knockdown or Blindfighting. Which will benefit this build more?

Suggestions welcome

I usually prefer Automatic feats vs. Selected ones so I would go for Blind Fight. But if you are the kind of person who can remember to take advantage of Selected feats, Knockdown is probably more generally useful.

I've found no real usage for Blind FIghting - so I'd advice knockdown all the way.
It is a powerfull feat.

knockdown.

if for no other reason then it's fun to knock mages on their rumps and beat them senseless while they cannot cast spells.

then again maybe knockdown won't fit well w/ a seemingly dex focused build, (or like jackofclubs) you don't use selected feats, maybe something like toughness or any of the saving throw bonus feats will be more useful.

then again, imho blind fight is near useless, so i might be biased.

why is that? from the description of the feat it looks that an Attack Roll -4 is made - doen't it work with Weapon Finesse?

fair point. for some reason i was under the impression that strength was a factor in the attack, but nope, it's your size. so fire away w/ the knockdowns even w/ dex builds.
