Hello hunters, are you using Distracting Shot when you are using MD?
Or do you just do aimed shot/arcane/multishot ?
Why ?
And how much agro does Distracting Shot give in reference with damage?

I dont use it. Last time I used it with MD, it gave me the aggro, but they might have changed that since then. But I use the standard Aimed Shot, Multi Shot, Arcane Shot combo.
Why? Aimed and Multi both give a lot of aggro, while Arcane starts my shot rotation.
The only time I use Distracting Shot is when I need to pull a mob into a trap.

Despite Aimed and Multi, Distracting is actually instant, so yeah, it can be pretty nice sometimes. Especially when doing an unplanned MD in the middle of a battle, where everyone are running all over the place.
The number one use for Distracting Shot for me, however, is to keep aggro on mobs in freezing traps, as it doesn't break them. Pretty useful if you had to FD while having a mob in a trap and don't want it to rush out of it to kill your healer.

I use Aimed, Distract, and Multi. From some light testing, I've found that the target will always get the threat from multi, even if there's only one charge left.
better hope it's a single mob. that last multi will get you aggro from anything that you hit after. if you MD and multi into a group, you use all 3 charges. so i'm pretty sure you'll gain some threat from hitting the other 2 mobs. nothing a lil fd can fix though

Nope, mutli away and you want get agro if you have a charge :).
And if you get agro you are screwed because we just totally do not have any skill which removes our agro and the mobs will think we are dead I think.

QFT.
I couldn't chaintrap worth a damn until I used a macro to set focus on my chaintrap target, and then a macro to hit my focus target with Distracting shot and return to my previous target. (I stole the basic idea from
BRK
.)

Um....
yes we do.

Pretty sure that was irony m8... ;-)
Besides, we kind of have 2 skills which do that, even though Disengage isn't as effective.
Anyway, good thread. Thanks for all the good tips people!
Indeed irony/sarcasm, I mean come on dude that is the skill (button) hunters are known for : )
thnx FaaR
