Usage Notes

 * Distracting Shot has an activation time instead of an attack (bow-drawing animation) delay. This means that Distracting Shot is fired much more quickly (in 1/2 second) than regular bow attacks, which are dependent on the attack delay of the bow being wielded (2 seconds for the fastest bow types, 2.75 for the slowest). There is still arrow flight time to take into account, and that can be shortened with skills like Favorable Winds or Read the Wind.
 * After this skill has been used, there is a 3/4 second delay before the next can be activated.
 * Interupting a Binding Ritual does not cause additional skill recharge delay.
 * The distracting effect does not trigger on spells if you have Choking Gas active, or if the target is dazed. It will not trigger at all if you have Incendiary Arrows active.
