Is you don’t need to trap (as in normal single mob questing/grinding) I reccomend pulling woth Rank 1 Serpent Sting.
At level 65 it deals about 6 damage per tick, being the lowest threat generating instant we have, no cooldown, less mana than Arcane, and it never crits. IHMO it’s the best for leveling or grinding. It also keeps Arcane Shot cooldown available if you want to remove that Rejuvenation from a healing mob with a nice Max Rank Arcane Shot.

Of course, you can’t trap if you use sting.
But most of the times if you need to pull to get mob’s attention, you’ll need a high threat shot. Just create a macro like the pullshot but use Distracting instead of Arcane. Better result, autoshot stops and you don’t break your own trap. Also always use “stop attack on target change”.

I also use a “freeze” macro. It sets the trap, forces me to stop attacking and sets pet to passive. I use it in case of unwanted adds coming from behine while I’m dpsing and pet is on Defensive. Or if a rogue tries to gank me while I’m killing 3 elites for a quest (it happens ALL THE TIME).
The macro sets the trap down and prevents me and my pet from breaking it, then I have some time to resume dps and find a new spot, or send pet to the trapped mob after his target is dead.

Keep it up!

LOL…reminds me of a time Mrs. Mags and I were driving along, a guy down the road from us had just had his driveway redone.

“Wow, he spent a ton of money on that” I say

Mrs.Mags: “On what?”

I nod my head in the direction of his home “He Re-Tarred it.”

Mrs.Mags” “Well I know he’s stupid as hell for spending all the money to redo his driveway but I dont know if I would call him retarded”…

Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975) is a bit before her time. Mrs. BRK likes ’80s movies.

infringing a bit are you brk??

not gonna download the link to the laptop, soi maybe ill get a shot at seeing it a bit later.

Happy hunting.

edit - Ah, now its working, youtube just sucks tonight.

Simplicity good.

I look forward to seeing how you juggle trapping mob A while sending pet on and starting DPS on mob B without accidentally shooting mob A.

Arcane shot rank 1 is pretty nice for cases where you want to let your tank pull off of you without having to use taunt, but, in my experience, this results in the healer pulling the mob off as soon as the trap breaks. What good is our already laid and ready to go trap on the other side of the room if the mob guns it in the opposite direction? Are we missing something here?

AS rank 1 looks like a good idea, but our pull shot most definitely has distracting shot in it. And if we’re worried that our tank isn’t going to generate enough aggro to pull our trapped mob before he kills us (our preferred tanks know to use taunt), we just Feign Death and Bam! the tank has aggro.

Keep up the good work,

You perhaps should have mentioned shift-clicking from the spellbook, but that probably would have added minutes to the length, and maybe confused things.

Wish I had seen these before I started WoW. Any chance you know someone to do a Rogue version?

Thank You Kindly,
