I recently got a monk up to 110 and reasonably geared to use him as a puller for grinding. I was getting tired of my warrior getting whaled on with bad pulls. So here's a little "pull" routine that I use with a modified "Kissassist" (basically, I have it call this routine in a few different places). I am happy to share that Kissassist if people want or the places where to insert the call to this routine.
This routine currently calls a modified routine for MQ2Nav. I will explain that in a second posting.
My lifetime playing time for a Monk is about 3 weeks, so helpful suggestions welcome. Basically right now it:

Oh, I also add this call right before pulling... adds some protection for the puller

My lifetime playing time for a Monk is about 3 weeks, so helpful suggestions welcome. Basically right now it:
- Tries to pull 2 or fewer.
- If more than 2 and they are close (worried you might get hit), it feigns or feigns on some other conditions... (again, I welcome ideas)
- If more than 4 on a pull, it feigns or imitates death.
- It tries to Mend as needed.
