Question - Best/safest automated puller class? How to pull with pacify type spells

[adamk10288]

Hello, I am looking to start using more sophisticated pulling tactics with my automation but don't know where to start. I used to play a bard 10 years ago or so and they were great for pulling because they could easily pacify all mobs that you didn't want so you could single pull.

I think that my group would be much more survivable if I knew how to do this. Also, I want to have a group or two that does not require an enchanter to survive (right now this is my safe way of pulling without having to worry about 4-5 mobs at once).

Two direct questions:
1) How to automatically have puller pacify all but one or two mobs?
2) What is the best automated puller class?

My new group will have a paladin which can use soothe and such, hoping this will be sufficient for most cases.

Kissassist does not support any advanced pulling, you would have to write your own Subroutines for pulling then add them to KA.

It is doable but again it stops being KA.

I think Bards and Enchanters have similar Banishment/Fade AAs that you could get singles/doubles MOST of the time.

There is a chance of failure and the hard part would be coding reliable failure detection. Key word here being reliable.

Interesting thought, but I don't know of any way to get your puller to single pull using pacify spells. I just have my tank setup pretty well to use defensives when pulls are on the big side, shaman AOE slow, and the Bard usually locks them down before I run into any trouble. I've been considering setting up a shit to Bandolier in 1h/shield when there are more than 3 mobs on xtar, and otherwise keep 2her out... but I generally just use a 2her 24/7 and it works out most of the time.

here's the only thing I recall seeing lately related to automating pacify use.
