Pulling?

how exactly does a pally tank pull at say level 44? i can't make the rocket launcher just yet, i can't use the shield throw just yet, so is there any way other than body pull? cause here in ZF that brings sometimes moer than what we want Sad

There isn't really one reliable method until you have AS.

You can have a hunter pull, and then concescrate, but that wont get casters off the hunter unless you have someone to silence the casters as well.

Tanking becomes a lot simpler and much more fun once you get AS. Until then you're pretty much limited to body pulls, or using other classes abilities to work around your pulls.

Since you mentioned the rocket launcher, I'm going to assume you are an engineer, if so, you can use bombs no?

In ZF there are a lot of zombies and undead. Try Exorcism for a pull, then drop a consecrate and keep backing up. Judge them.

Or be a pally tank and give your healer a heart attack. Do the Temple/Executioner event at the bottom of the stairs and sneer up at Sergeant Bly and his entourage.

Good times there.

Or do what I did, body pulls. This is actually a good time to learn how to body pull. Until you get the hang of it, you're going to adds alot of the times. But as you do this more often, you start to get the hang of what is body pullable, what isn't, the range threshold of different type of mobs. You'll also start to learn what causes more adds to pull, the importance to pulling back mobs even more.

And yes I am being serious.

Until you get to lvl 40 and have AS, you'll just have to learn to make do whats available to you. Engineering grenades are an option, as well as other engineer items like the rocket launcher later on. Mana Tap is something useful in your arsenal if you are a BE. When you eventually get to level 70 and down Prince in kara, the most valuable weapon pulling wise you can get is the The Decapitator. Although it has a 30 second equip cooldown, but the on use ability is amazing. It has over 30 range (never really tested, but it does out-range AS by some distance), doesn't knock you back like the rocket launcher does, and as soon as you pull, you just re-equip your normal tanking weapon again.
