Talk:Distracting Shot

Hm, perhaps I deleted that a bit too quickly, but--if you want to stick that note in, you might as well do it all for skills with that 1/2 activation time. --Ufelder 10:39, 20 October 2006 (CDT) Is there a delay on warrior skills with 1/2 second activation?-Onlyashadow, Top 100 10:40, 20 October 2006 (CDT)
 * ISOHqiwuq. Sorry. I was referring to the wrong note--disregard what I said. --Ufelder 10:41, 20 October 2006 (CDT)

Possible Bug
I've got this used against me by various skrees in Forum highlands while casting Fevered Dreams and it was disabled a whole 30 seconds, it is a spell not a skill so it shouldn't trigger the +20 second recharge, no? It's always been like that and would make this ability totally overpowered.-- 11:36, 10 May 2007 (CDT)
 * Spells are still skills, and so are affected by distracting shot. Lord of all tyria 11:38, 10 May 2007 (CDT)
 * Correct. It's definitely not a bug.  "Skill" doesn't mean "Non-spell skill" - it means skill in the general sense, like anything on your skillbar.  I don't think it's overpowered at all; it's balanced by it's recharge time (which is double that of savage shot).  Just try to be wary against rangers that employ this skill.  If you're going to cast something somewhat lengthy, try to wait until the ranger applies a preparation, uses troll unguent, or use blocking skills yourself.--Ninjatek 11:53, 10 May 2007 (CDT)
