Tank new role action idea

[Noox-115]

Okay so I had this idea just about now I was doing Dzemael darkhold and I start pulling wall to wall but there is those range enemies that are far away and snipe me out of my aoes because they aren't dumb they got range that I dont but I was wondering what if tank could have a Grappling Hook or Something like healer Rescue but to snatch an enemy from its position and drag it to you This action would not work on bosses tho for obvious reasons. I know its sound quite useless but I can see a good potential of mechs based on that where tanks have to snatch an add away or something like that

Let me know what you guys think

What the poster above me said.

If the enemy can't attack you because a wall or object is in the way, it runs right to you. If there are no walls you can just drag the mobs to them.

SE stopped making enemies like that anyway, as far as I remember. It just remains for old dungeons, particularly from ARR.

There's already Blota in PvP on Warrior, so I wouldn't be surprised to see it eventually make back into PvE.

I really liked this in Aion. I can see some uses for it, like when you have overzealous DPS that really burst on mobs during a pull.

But honestly it's not that needed. In Dzamael you can just run a bit further and the ranged mobs start clustering, even at the last spot with the skeletons, just pull everything and run towards the little raised area south west of the teleport entrance, wait till they come together.

Holmgang used to do that after it was changed from a distance bind with a come at me bro hand taunt to the chaining up the enemy invuln. But its ranged was like 6y at best.

WHM and MCH used to be able to use Fluid Aura and Blank to knock enemies out of place/into place too. I used to love WHMs who did that for me if a pull didn't have an easy corner to abuse for the mentioned LoS.

Even if dungeons stop having corners to LoS ranged mobs to come to you, you can always center all the other mobs on the ranged mob. You don't always have to, and it's not always most efficient, to keep moving a pull until you hit the literal wall.

Yes its true that now that you mention it ranged monster stick to you in newer content as for the knockback skill I didn't know it ever existed that pretty cool tho it worked like machinist PvP knock?

What is LoS

Line of sight.

2 ways to deal with ranged in old content.

1. KLOSE - Konga Line of Stupidity Effect. Means you LoS your targets. Get around a wall and they all line up and stop immediately when LoS is established.

2. Reversal - run ahead and pull melee with you and then flip 180 and beeline it to the ranged. Now ranged is in melee and the melee pile on the ranged.
