Actually Puglist/Monk has no hit from distance attack, but yes I mean the latter. Treating their pull like my friend describes buffet etiquette, grab and go or in this case, pull and move. It's almost feels like the tank is saying, "nope you can't do you job until I say so." I know that's not the intent and I've come to expect it. So while it still irks me, I deal with it because nothing I say will change anything anyway. Also unless they've changed it, Summoner's AoE sucked. There was only one, it took time to aim, and didn't do much damage. I ended up not using it. The getting out of one AoE part is more an annoyance since I didn't have that issue when I was using Summoner or Bard, which I will say I didn't care for Bard much as the game went on. I've since bought Red Mage for him, Robert, since I based him on Robin Hood anyway.
