Yesterday, I took my first steps into Hyjal.
We were going after Rage Winterchill. I knew that my job was simply to kite a weak mob around to gather up the npc's, then throw in what little damage I could to help with the aoe party. Even though I don't kite enough to be very confident about my skills, I thought I'd do alright.
The problem came when I tried to follow the kite paths described here. I was in charge of the right side path, and could not for the life of me hold aggro off either the aoe'ers or the npc gunmen I had to pull the mob through.
I tried kiting behind the tree down to where Jaina was, then back up into the group. Either the mob would catch up to me and squish me in a few hits, or Jaina & Co. would establish aggro and split our aoe dps into two bunches.
I had slightly more success on the left side getting in range of the riflemen and turning around, but again, I died almost every time from the mob catching up. I think next time I'll try freezing the mob just inside range of the npc's, then running to consecrated ground, so that by the time the mob releases and comes at me, I'll be alright.
Has anyone successfully navigated these troubles and can give me some tips?
