=====Mob_01 must have DA ===== AKA The Bardly Discipline of Advanced Mezz Pulling Earth shaking fact. Mobs will NOT ASSIST a another mob that has AA. Ok, chances are you wont realise how huge this is at first... If a mob is chasing you that has AA, you could drag it over a thousand of its friends for hours and hours and no mob will ever assist it. It will come single. Ok so mobs wont assist a mob that only has AA right? So if you could get a mob to come to you with just AA it would always come single right? Correct! If you want mob_01 to come to you but without DA how can you do this? Simple... aggro the mob standing next to it! But surely then you have 2 mobs aggro and both will come and the tagged mob will bring loads of friends! Nightmare! Not necessarily, the secret is to aggro the mob without it chasing you. This sounds all very confusing, so lets try an example. Consider the following situation, you want to pull the named through a whole building full of social mobs. <pre> |----------------------------| | X X X X X X X X X | | X X X X X X | | X (TrashMob_01) X X X X X ------------------ | X (NamedMob_01) X X X X X You and your group here | X X X X X X -------------------- | X X X X X X X X X | |----------------------------| </pre> You want just NamedMob_01 right? And your group is thinking "Doh, lots of mobs to clear!" Wrong! You drop a mezz on TrashMob_01 standing next to it, this mob now have DA but will not chase you until mezz breaks. Then NamedMob_01 assists, as mezz is a detrimental spell and does chase you, but it only has AA. This means that no mob will ever assist it, you could drag it thru a thousand mobs, running right over their heads and they will not assist. Named_01 will shoulder its way thru all those mobs without aggroing a single one and come to you. A magical single pull and nobody has the faintest idea how you did it. Once the mob is in camp fade and it's all yours. The mezzed mob has forgotten about you and you have your name single. Not all situations are appropriate for this, There might not be too many mobs too close to the named. Where do I use this? In general, wherever lull doesnt work, for example in Qvic or LDoN hard, but sometimes you can use this to reduce the number of lulls. Trouble is that you MUST use a fade to make this work, so you cannot do it endlessly. I use this to death in a lot of DoD hard missions too. Quite often you will get a mini-named in a room with a single buddy, mezz the buddy thru the wall (see Bard Tagging below) and the name will come out of the temple single past loads of mobs who will not assist. When name is clear, fade and retag. Another place is pulling chardok Queen. She stands between two advisors, lull the one on the left, drop a mez on the one on the right and Queenie will come out on her own, past all her guards. When shes out of room, fade and re-tag. There are a huge number of places where you can do this, some in RSS for example. Actually theres a number of classes who can do this, anything that stops the DA mob coming for you will work. *Mezz it. This is the technique of mezz pulling, a staple for bards. *Bio Orb. The blinded mob will run off in some direction while the name comes single to you, when name is out single. FD and have someone tag. Actually I'm guessing that this is what monks use bio orb for.... but if i had one, i would consider it =) *Root. Any rooting class can do this, but the big question is how do you dump the DA after when root breaks. The big problem for most classes is after you have used one of the above to single pull a mob, how do you dump aggro on the rooted/mezzed/blinded mob? The best technique I know is CotH. When you are CotH'd you dump aggro IF you are CotH'd over a distance of 200 or more. So this will fail if the puller is too close to the mage. But in this way, a root/snare class + mage can do some very nice splitting work. Theres prolly others, but that will do for now A bit like mez splitting, but you use coth instead of fade or FD. *Mezz Push Pull Ok, we done with mezz pulling.... nah! Theres ANOTHER one. Now this is cute beyond belief, I wish I had come across this idea when we were doing Ikky3 and destroying necros at a good old rate. Can you remember that Ikky3 room? 4 nasty golems that we had to single within a tiny space. Ok heres how to use the wierdness of DA/AA to single pull em, easy as. # Get a trash mob, and mezz it. Get chanters/mages to debuff it, you dont want mezz breaking, ugly business. Remember DA and AA? This mob has DA so stuff will assist it. # Using your push mezz, slowly inch it into the room, then slowly carefully inch it along wall until it is in aggro range of the end golem only. Now this golem will assist and come, but the friend next to it will NOT assist it, because the first golem has only got AA. Rinse repeat! I know some guilds use this technique, its not fast, but faster than our experiences with pet pulling (tho we havent run out of options on that). I'm sure I will find other uses for this, all you need is a trash mezzable mob that you can push into the correct position and it becomes a precision singling tool.. How cool is THAT! Quick Guide: If lulling is a problem, think mezz pull.
