Pulling CastersFollow

Hi

I would like to know from an expirienced Tank what type of silencing/disrupting spells/attacks other Classes have in order
to make caster mobs drop their casting habit and come as melee towards group.

If someone could plz tell me the class, the talent requiremnts of the class and the spell name. ( duration if possible ?)

It seems that when I pull the mobs by running away from my party and make casters approach the group is not that sufficient:

Most of times a group member (Although I tell them when to engage in comabt)will attack before I come back to my group and gain aggro... and wipe. (Heroics-suck ... heheh)


Thanks

If there are multiple casters then soon after pull, have one caster targeted and as soon as his cast is about halfway done....Spell reflect. You should reflect most if not all of the other's spells as well all while giving you a nice threat boost.

Line of Sight is my favorite, but sometimes if you're unlucky the mob brings some friends lol. Just be carefull of the path between you and him.

MM Hunters can Silencing shot it, then just grab it before it gets to the hunter. Not that caster mobs really really hit hard (unless it's the ones in Magg's room lol), so a hit won't kill him. Also, Hunters can and will Feign Death, so they SHOULD not die either way.

Then there's a few other tricks, spell steal and silence. I know silence makes pretty good threat for the clothie, but a Taunt should take care of that.

I'd agree tho, cc them if possible (sap, sheep), try to avoid having a hunter trap them... We can do it, but it's such a PITA lol, and stops us from doing the Dee Pee Esssss.

I do love using Reflect tho, the spell they cast helps boost your threat to crazy levels. Example the Overcharge mobs in TK, Wooo Weeee that's some big TPS.

If you're lucky enough you'll have a mage counterspell them to pull them to you (if it's not a marked sheep target). I sometimes do this on my mage to help out the tank after I sheep my designated target.

LOS FTW

Each pull is situational Some pulls ill range pull the caster he will stay put ill reflect tank him while we take care of the malee, by the time the malee is down the caster about killed himself or is oom and heading my way. Can be done with more then 1 caster. The pull/spell reflect/los trick pull reflect most if not all incomming spells duck around a corner... here they come. Healer and dps needs to hold off till they are on you. If you need to move him use shield bash to interupt and kite the caster back. If its a nasty caster a shield bash, conc blow, shield bash rotation pretty much does the job.

In addition to mages countering spells, I know that shamans can earth shock a caster; interrupting the mob's spell and silencing them from that school for a few seconds.
