Misdirection

Misdirection is a hunter ability which redirects threat caused by the hunter onto a friendly target for the next 4 seconds.

Tips and tactics
This is a highly recommended skill for instances and considered essential for raids. It allows the hunter to execute difficult pulls for the tank. It can effectively add threat for the tank both at the pull, as well as during the middle of a long fight if used repeatedly.

If Misdirection is used to pull groups of linked mobs, all mobs will go onto the target of Misdirection even if they were not hit.

Note that Distracting Shot is not affected by Misdirection.

Works great on AoE pulls to be used with Explosive Trap, solidly anchoring the trap aggro onto the main tank.
