Requirements
- Distract learned; first recorded spellbook level 22.
Known limitations
- Research only: not tested in the Forever client. Beta spell names, parser behaviour and requirements may change.
- English spell names; check your spellbook and actual learned rank. Source IDs identify reference ranks, not a forced rank-1 cast.
- Range, line of sight, resources, cooldowns and the global cooldown still apply. A macro does not detect readiness or choose your next combat action.
- A second click confirms the ground location. No @cursor support is assumed; targets must be susceptible and within range.
- Stops auto-attack even if the ability is unavailable.
Notes
- Researched 27 September 2026 against source beta build 1.60.1.70009. Spec lists are recommendations; actual learned spells and selected talents determine eligibility.
