When using misdirection, is it better to use distracting shot or arcane?
Here's a scene from Rocky II:
Gazo: How's about investing in condominiums? It's safe.
Rocky Balboa: Condominiums?
Gazo: Yeah, condominiums.
Rocky Balboa: I never use 'em.
Distracting Shot. It's only purpose is to generate threat, typically for a Misdirect.
I never use it. It's not even on my hotbars, and hasn't been there for a long time.
Distracting Shot rank 7 costs 140 mana and generates 700 Threat.
Arcane Shot rank 9 costs 230 mana and generates [$RAP*0.15+273] Threat. For me this is an average of 761 Threat. AND damage.
Auto Shot costs zero mana and does (for me) and average of 615 Threat. AND damage.
For a Hunter in a mana constrained situation, a MD Auto Shot will work as well as a Distracting Shot. For a Hunter not in a mana constrained situation a MD Arcane Shot will work better than a Distracting Shot.
So who needs Distracting Shot?
