[edit] Notes

• Distracting Blow is an attack, and will not interrupt if you miss or it is blocked. It also triggers normal attack triggers, like Order of Pain.
• Despite not dealing any damage, it will still provide 1 strike of adrenaline for each foe it hits. However, due to the nature of the skill, it does not trigger Dark Fury. No adrenaline will be gained if you miss, or if it is blocked.
• Like any other attack skill, Distracting Blow has a chance to perform a critical hit even though no damage is dealt.
