Nibbrah, I was beginning to believe that you merely mis-spoke when you spoke of pulling the mobs onto you. You did after all mention Misdirection. But after you last post I'll just conclude that you just have no idea how to conduct a coherent argument. You're more Scatter Shot than the MM Hunters you insult.

Kompera, have you ever kited a mob?
Sure. Not often in BC, but a few mobs I could not solo with a "burn down" method. Never in an Instance in BC. But what's your point? If I needed to kite a mob I'd be getting aggro on it at the start of a fight, and it would be trivial. I wouldn't be assigned to kite a mob that just so happened to be beating on a Healer, for example. So your question is irrelevant.

Great, but what if you are CC'ing?
This may seem startling to you.... But if I'm CCing, then
I'm CCing. I won't have a spare trap for that mob beating on the Healer, which is why I cited several other remedies. Surely you saw those?

Hmm, well, maybe you know how to use a pet at least. But waitaminute...didn't you say....

Off-tanking with the Pet all but disappears once you get to the level 70 Instances
So...which is it?
Surely the difference between being assigned a mob to have the pet off-tank and using Intimidate to give a player Tank a few more seconds to regain aggro is not a hard concept for you to understand.
So far all of your points are very much hair-splitting, with no real substance to them.

Wow, I guess I've been ******** up this whole time by using Misdirection at the BEGINNING of a fight to avoid the problem altogether.
Ok Nibs. You're right. There's never been a case where a mob got away from a Tank where the Hunter used Misdirection at the start of the fight. Ever. Sarcasm does not convey over text well. Just note that this is yet another statement of yours with no value whatsoever. Not only does it have no value, but it has nothing to do with the central point of discussion, which is that you feel that pulling aggro is fine, and I feel that a Hunter such as yourself who deliberately risks pulling aggro is a liability in a raid.

If you are offended by my earlier post then I apologize.
No need to apologize, I'm BM spec. I was just pointing out that insults are logical fallacies. An ad hominem attack doesn't make you right, and it doesn't make those you insult wrong.
