Distract does not belong on your stealth action bar

why not

I actually do not add it to my bars, it’s hotkeyed to a macro using Elvui.

For me it does.

I generally run around Naz in stealth. When encountering a group I want to move past, I toss a Distract. Not as if there are tons of abilities to set to your Stealth bar.

Because you can use it out of stealth as well and you are limiting its use if it is only on your stealth bar.

Then you fail. Because what do you do if you are fighting a mob and there is a patrol coming near you that you want to avoid? …You end up fighting them because your distract is on your stealth bar. I have it on another action bar, so I can distract the pat while fighting, giving me time to finish the fight and restealth.

Actually a very good tip. And often overlooked by the vast majority.

So then put it on both?

Or put it on a bar that does not dynamically change based on stealth.

“what do you do if you are fighting a mob and there is a patrol coming near you that you want to avoid?”

Great point. Guilty of this…

I was expecting something like “interrupts drinking and out of combat casters.”

Also flipping mounted people off cliffs and bridges is a guilty pleasure…

It doesn’t belong on my stealth bar either but I have it there, and bound to another key to use it. Just this last TP I sent a Druid FC flying down to his death off waterfall.
