Wanted to find out the new values for Distract after the update. So I shouted and found a RDM named Geriond to help. It was nice that he had just about every piece of enfeebling gear to test this in PvP.
We know Distract and Frazzle share the same values from a Dev Post in the past.
Data:
Spoiler: show
While I was recording the data points and throwing them back, Geroid said the new formula is:
[Floor(6/21)(Enfeebling Skill - 190)] + Floor(dMND/5); where dMND/5 caps at 0 and 10.
The only change from the old formula was that the numerator was previously a 4.
However, while Frazzle and Distract cap at the same values, according to the aforementioned Dev post there is a cap of 625 enfeebling skill listed for frazzle and a 610 listed for distract. So the formula for frazzle must be different in some minor way, the old formula there was copy paste from the distract page. I kept it with a new value and a verification tag for now.

Then I shouted for a COR to test a few things with QD out including if it affects distract and thus frazzle.
Stronk answered my yell and came to shoot me in the face. I also made Carrotchan and Hawksmoor come along cuz waifu and bestie.
QD Conclusions:
- Distract (and thus Frazzle) are not affected via QD. My evasion didnt change after Ice Shot.
- Burn is still -13 INT and QD enhanced it by -4 the first time and then -2 more the second time for a measly -19 INT. Better than nothing, but seriously, why haven't the values changed from level 75?
- The duration of silence was not increased via wind shot.
- Dia III can only reach Dia IV with light shot, the second shot does nothing.
- Dia II does reach Dia IV with two light shots (was curious after seeing Dia III)
I didn't test Angon or Tenebral Crush with wind shot or any shots with Impact.
I also didn't test Avatars obviously or the potent -INT from BLUs Searing Tempest.
Curious if QD works with gravity and its movement speed reduction too. Also interested in verifying Prothescars 2011 test of Earth Shot not affecting Slow II.
Overall this answers some questions, and I will go update the wiki now.
P.S:
Distract and Frazzle now last 5 minutes.
