As far as I know LoS has absolutely nothing to do with losing aggro on coh. It depends solely on the distance away from the mobs the CoHer is. For example, if the CoHer is 10 feet away when CoH hits the puller then puller retains aggro and wipes the group. However, if the CoHer is like 50 feet away from the group and cohs, the puller should lose aggro then the mobs will path back normally. Granted these are not exact #s (I am sure someone has the exact #s on the distance away) But you should get the general idea.

Yeah, I know. It just seems that way sometimes. Someone knows the distance. I don't.

Most will know this but some might not, if you CoTH someone that Doted a mob. The mob will reaggro, even across zone (well depends on the zone really, some are big enough that distance will cancel the aggro) on the next tic.

That was a fun learning experience :lol:

Even though low level pet pull is no longer possible, I still use pet to pull sometimes.

My theory is that the pet must generate a lower agro radius, because when I use pet to pull a group I always get less adds than if I go cast malo or a low level nuke on the same mob. In Kurns tower there are two rooms I kill at times, when I pull with pet I have never gotten more than 3 mobs at once, if I try and pull by casting a spell, I have never gotten lower than 5 and usually all 8 mobs in there.

Another way to pull singles when CoN is down for me is send in RS on a mob and and nuke something else, so the mob I nuked run after me and RS keep other(s) busy then run the smurf long away with my nuked mob. When RS dies I'm usually far enough away that the other agroed mobs have forgotten all about me. Used this with success in OBF and FOS.

Use Earth pet with root. But make sure u root the mob near your grp so you can nuke it and brk the root after coh is done. That's how I pulled the mobs at 4-way in Old CoD.
