Just out of curiousity, who do you use for pulling on like the Rathe Council or LDoN? Still the monks?

We are saying the same thing, and yes a monk's job is to not get aggros off tanks and to not get ripostes. I think its six the one a half dozen another whether to just FD during the fight or to pick appropriate weapons so that the poor tank can hold his aggros. Doing it the way I do I never get hit (except once on the pull and position about half the time of course), which is my goal :) I think its a matter of taste whether a bard is the puller of choice in PoP (and I don't see the point of discussing a matter of taste like that). Bards are cool, don't get me wrong, but monks are still the best at steady safe pulling I think. Yes its true that other classes can pull too. I've seen many a would be puller mess it up though... that's just a matter of practice since I've been doing it for over 4 years now. I never get my groups killed. But I do wish there were a role for monks like there used to be... damn nerf. Quwi --- Lorie C <mlchiello@...> wrote: > In PoP a bard is the puller of choice.
