Defensive Stance

[Darian]

One of the things I do like about the charge pull is that even with heavy CC (in temple we were 4 manning with 2 mages, a priest and me) we would time it so that I would charge then clap, after that the CC would be applied so we might have 2 mobs sheeped and one shackled.

I have no idea if this type of pull will work in higher instances...[right][snapback]76823[/snapback][/right]

It can; I think the critical difference here may be our respective usual party compositions. It's nigh impossible to go on a level 60 Lurker/Carpe Aurum run, especially a 10-man, without a rogue or three, and we tend to rely on a lot of saps -- which, of course, must be applied pre-combat, and which will be broken by any AoE at the point of attack... ruling out TC.

Even with that caveat, though, there are just a metric buttload of places in Strat/Scholo/BRS where you really need to bring the mobs to you (which also rules out sap as a CC option), because if you CC them at the spawn point the chances of getting additional aggro from nearby camps is entirely too high, or because you're pulling a group of mobs into an entirely different room to take advantage of LoS. In these cases, it's still of course possible to charge mid-pull if you're not the puller, but one of the benefits of charge is stopping the mob while it's still at range. That's not so much effective when you're trying to drag the mobs back to the party.
