In Blizzard's notes
What Blizzard said about Distract, each line checked against the files.
- Matches the files
Distract: This ability now also causes affected enemies to have reduced Stealth detection for 10 seconds. However, this debuff also means player enemies will now know there is a Rogue nearby to look for.
The files Distract (1725) gained a second effect and a 10 sec duration: the tooltip reads 'reducing their Stealth detection as if they were 1 level lower for 10 seconds', and the debuff shows as 'Stealth detection reduced.' on the target.
