Fun with Distract (update)
After a bit of playing about last night (faking afk and trying to get mages to jump me in WSG) it seems that using distract to spin a caster around before their spell cast completes is both doable and fun
. In ‘real’ combat, I didn’t get an opportunity since everyone was constantly in combat and not distractable, but in an arena* it’s something that’s worth remembering and probably worth binding to a key if you have any left.
* I’ve been slacking with arenas since 3.2 came out as my 2v2 partner has been on holiday, but will be playing rated games as of tonight. After killing Death Knights in Wintergrasp with 2 tenacity buffs 1v1 I’m feeling hopeful that they’ve been hit hard enough to stop the bad ones beating us in arenas, but knowing my luck those were probably bots or something.

I always use it on mounted people. Usually if they have auto run on or something they’ll get a few yards in the direction I face them. Perfect for cliffs and bodies of water.
