Now that we can trap in combat, I lay traps at the start of fights. If I pull aggro, bam mob hits trap and my cool down is usually up by the time the trap breaks. I also use traps in front of priests so if the priest’s heals pull, the mob runs into the trap. When the trap breaks I then pull the mob to me and hopefully have another trap waiting. I use FD during the fight to wipe my aggro so I dont pull. Remember Vael in BWL… If a hunter or a lock pulls aggro, he turns and fries the group.

Hehe, great post!

Aggro Management seems to be one of the lesser appreciated arts of the Hunter, and it’s one few hunters give much conscious thought to, it seems.

Reminders of how easy it can be for a simple mistake made by a hunter to wipe a party are important. I think hunters can either be a bane or a blessing to their party, and there isn’t much middle ground in between. It’s all about knowing the finer points of utilizing your talents and abilities.

You give such great examples of the Do’s and Don’ts! They’re a pleasure to read!

Unless the monster somehow resists the freezing trap, youd recall your pet growl/intim and let it off tank until the other monsters are delt with.

If the monster is still attacking u and ur pet is on it (with growl) and intimidation somehow did not work, prop a FD correct?

Like Keystone said, aggro dumping is very deadly, I wonder how that new hunter spell will do (I forgot the name but heres what I think it does:
Deflects aggro to another person )

Thanks for the hunter tips. The same aggro dump caution applies to Frost Mages too. If you’re a Frost Mage, then please do not Ice Block next to the Priest.

Aggro dump is very deadly and should only be handled with latex gloves…
