Ok, so some of you are interested in more than the -fool's rush in- approach to pulling.

Congratulations! Your group's life expectancy has greatly increased and you -MIGHT- recieve a 2nd invite :)

We will cover them in descending order going from my favorite to my least favorite methods

And seeing how I am lazy on a genetic level will begin with 'Tagging' a target from a designated puller.

Tagging : Tagging is the term used for when someone else actually pulls the target and as it approaches camp you -tag- it to get it's attention. This -tag- can be with a bow, thrown weapon,combat ability (Berate/Incite), or detrimental spell or spell effect. Wguran prefers bow at max range, followed by Berate, and then my max taunt social & melee at point blank.(generally this is fairly secure aggro unless facing spammed slows, etc...) [for more info on the Max Taunt social head here]

Paci pull: Paci pull is term for any of the Pacification/Harmony/Lull line of spells designed to reduce aggro\par radius of targets. It generally allows pulls of target standing right next to another mob. Usually closest is pulled after it's companions are pacified. Shortfall here is the limited time to pull as these spells wear off fairly quick. Wgu has a hotkey bank devoted to paci-pulling. Generally have caster assist to get target then paci companions, pull your target trying to make sure path does NOT drag your target over it's companion or it CAN add.[ for paci-pull socials head here]

Berate pulling: Range is abyssmal (only 100) but berate/incite line of combat abilities generate no damage, so less likely than bow pulling to generate adds, just bumps targets hate list and has allowed me to pull from some hairy spots other methods would not work...

Bow pulling: when poorly executed results in the -fool's rush in- method of pulling. Damage to party can be minimized by using judgement and restraint in choosing targets. Try those mobs closest to you and try to find path where mob minimizes travel near/thru it's companions.
