And pull threat to get mobs in traps

Kommentar von 79224

In the Current Wrath Build this is now a Taunt effect. Hopefully it does not change because as of right now it would be immensely helpful in trapping and helping tanks out. MD + This spell. (Provided that the tank gets the threat and not you)

Just wanted to correct your wording... Distracting Shot does not technically "taunt" the target, it just forces it to attack you for a period of time (like Mocking Blow). The difference is that a taunt will increase your threat so that it is higher than the highest player on the mob's threat list, whereas this spell just forces the target to attack you, regardless of anyone's threat levels.

EDIT: This spell also does apply a small amount of threat. On my 64 hunter, this amount was 118 (unlike the 110 that wowhead lists). Has anyone experimented to see if that little chunk of threat is transferred to your misdirection target? (even though the spell still forces the target to attack you)

I love my pet. I couldn't survive without it.

If it's about to die, and Mend Pet won't do..

Using this to peel a boss off the tank if he's dangerously low on health, or if the boss has some kind of temporary damage buff can easily mean the difference between a wipe and kill.

Doing it in the latter case will also ease the strain on the healer's mana pool.

I use this to force melee mobs to dance between myself and the tank. Something that is once again useful to do now that heroics are difficult again.

It is also useful to pull off squishier classes, used in conjunction with kiting and deterrence where necessary.

Also good for when you need to freeze something after a pull's been initiated. Lay down trap, back up a bit, and distracting shot. Just make sure it's not DOTted up and the other players know to leave it alone!

Kommentar von Deatharrhea

it is a very useful ability.

Like in Grim Batol in the General Umbriss fight. you can distract shot the purple trog, so that he runs over your trap hence CCing him.

If your healer is taking damage, and the tank is not near by, you can distracting shot the mob and bring him to the tank.
I remember doing this a lot especially in Vanilla wow.

If you are asked to kite a mob, it is useful to pulling aggro so you may do so. To say that it is a useless ability is an utter falsehood.

Kommentar von Vinland

One very handy use for it is during the Augh fight in Lost City of the Tol'vir, when he does his Whirlwind ability. Using it then will still cause him to head toward you and away from the rest of the group, which is ideal when you have a melee-heavy group.

Kommentar von zombieloffe

Immensely useful ability.

Many times have I used it (mostly in heroic dungeons) when the main tank dies. Along with another taunting DPS class (like a paladin using Hand of Reckoning) you can force the boss to simply run back and forth, never attacking anyone, allowing the rest of the group time to finish him off.

Kommentar von TastyBrush

This ability seems to activate "Wild Quiver", which is really annoying when you gonna try and tame a low lvl mob that you wanna ensure stay focused on you.

That was so hilarious the first time you watched it.

For those who dont know, watch the paragon world first LK 25 part 3 of 3 (5:00 in the video)

Kommentar von Swinny

Anyone else notice when looking at the spell details that it says "Mechanic: Healing"? What part of taunting initiates a healing mechanic? lol

Kommentar von MadMood

I got a question that might sound noobish..but...if I Misdirect the tank and use Distracting Shot will this means that the threat boost is transfered to the tank?Can anyone confirm this?

Here's the macro I made for my own use.

#showtooltip Distracting Shot
/cast !Distracting Shot
/script s={"Over here %t","Hey you... %t","Come and get me %t"};SendChatMessage(s, "SAY")
/e Distracts %t
/run UIErrorsFrame:Clear()

The script part randomly chooses one of those lines whenever it's shot. It also tacks on the name of the target. (e.g. if you shot it at Hogger, it might say "Over here Hogger"). It does the same thing with the emote. My reasoning for adding those lines was to make it overly obvious that I want the mob to come at me (for any of the above reasons others have posted). I chose the /s command as I assume most people don't have that speach bubble disabled.

That said, more often than not, the tank will just grab it back anyway (often when the mob was a mere 2 steps away from hitting a trap). This is especially true with death grips lol. Oh well, I tried.

A little more on that macro, you can change the random statements if you'd like. All you do is change the lines inside the quotes (but keep the quotes). You can also make it not say the target's name if you want. Just remove the %t. You could even incorporate your focus' name (%f) as well.

this is currently the best taunt ingame: 6sec duration on an 8sec CD, that's twice the duration of any normal tank taunt! i feel betrayed...

Kommentar von 833185

does it work on players?

Kommentar von rogermw

What is this spell's icon supposed to be?

It looks vaguely like the Horsehead Nebula.
