Mage pullingFollow

How is a soloing mage supposed to pull? I would like to be able to get just one mob at a time. Please help.

For classes which have no means of lull or crowd control it gets very difficult. At the simplest level you may just have to look for mobs/camps where they are sufficiently separated to single pull.

Mages are especially hard off in this respect. No lull and no root.

I have trouble with Shaman/beastlord duo because all we can manage is a single root and then hope that we can offtank whatever still comes at us before root breaks. And Shaman can take a few more hits than a mage.

Pulling with the lightest least aggroing spell you can from the maximum distance hopefully gives you at least a running start if the whole camp starts running.

Solo I just hunt under my level (Stuff thats still dark blue, maybe a couple light blue) and send in a DS'd pet. Fire if the stuff doesn't hit very hard (Fire's damage shield is better than the one you can cast), water otherwise. Sometimes one would go for me first, just sicced pet on any that didn't go for it first. /assist pet, burn down its target once it's at 50/60%, repeat. Damage shield usually keeps them pissed off enough to allow a heal or two as needed.

Doesn't always work out, but enough for when I can't find a group. Killing three light/dark blues is usually the same exp as killing one white/yellow, and more loot. Casters are usually a bad idea though :)
