"Distract" as an interruption

[Deleted]

except that if it worked in combat it could "turn round" the other melle guys who are hiting you as well as caster and this would be the opness of it as it would do 2 things,
1 inturupt the circle strafe direction and
2 turn their back to you right when you want it which outside shadowstep shouldn't happen.

Ah the days when everyone used to distract mounted players off the alliance bridge in AH

It used to be wonderfull in AV when defending the alliance side. Nothing funnier than watching a mass of mounted toons charging accross the bridge and they all suddenly spin around. Gives your guys a chance to attack first.

This and to catch up with players that run away ... are the only real options I use it for on my rogue, trying to time to turn casters around is more annoying then anything else.

Actually thats not true. Work on PC's too. Just not when they are in combat i believe, i have made my fair share of people run of to their death at the flag in EoS.

Or walk off the bridge in AV. :d

Don't mind me.

I've managed to distract mages in BGs just as they were about to Blink, with hilarious results!

What mage blinks out of combat? O.O

[Deleted]

Some can, yes. But i mainly use it to escape frontal AE attacks. Such as cone of cold ( when i want to sap ).

Though, yes, it might be handy.

For an example a warlock that soulfires you, distract him on the last .3 seconds and his spell will be interrupted.

As a rogue you won't have any problems roflstomping warlocks. Especially those trying to cast soulfires at rogues in melee. No no, especially those trying to actually *cast* anything (apart from successful fear fakecast).

a mage trying to run away with a flag in random bg's with a mass of enemies behind him just out of reach until...

that said if your smoke bombing a mage and combat drops as well as going into stealth it's worth distracting him so his cone of cold goes the wrong way!

You won't be able to restealth with an ice mage as his fuckin pet will be on you the whole time.

The pet will likely be on someone else of the mentioned "mass of enemies". Don't always think in 1on1 only.

This is one of the reasons why I love shadowmeld ^_^

When you're in melee with a warlock, you won't distract him, because he's in combat.
