Steal a tagged mob

[swza]

Searched under tagged mob & stealing mobs but couldn't find anything, dont have access to elite section so if its already there then apologies.

Not sure if this is an exploit either, so posting it here and let the masses decide as i recon your using "game mechanics" to ones advantage. Also my "first find" so hopefully some of you will benefit

The aim is to get the other person to leave combat, either on there own or forced.
If you dont wanna read how i found it, skip the quote block:

I discovered this when i needed to kill a boss in hellfire, found he was at 50%, and the rouge (opposite faction) who was trying to solo him was at 20%. I started assisting then though bugger this, not gonna help him, rather let the boss kill him then kill the boss myself. At 5% the rogue disappeared and the boss came for me with about 30% health. I bolted away as the bar was still grey and he kept following for quite a distance so i thought id kill him and go wait at re-spawn. As i re targeted him, the bar was red and i took off the last few % and got the loot. So i decided to test with a mate and sure enough, any thing like cloak of shadow, feign death etc will have them loose the boss and you can take it over.

(Pvp) Have your mate engage the person whos trying to kill the mob, then you taunt the mob off them, and pull it away from the person far enough to force them out of combat where after your mate can run back and share in the kill

(Pve) Same as above, but harder to achieve if the person runs after the boss, as a hunter using AotP & distracting shot, you can pull it off rather easily, especially as there not expecting it, also. if you start attacking, many decide to let you kill it and not them, esp if your a higher level, then you run off pulling the mob out of there range and steal the kill.

And/Or, if you find the person about to die and you know they have an aggro dump, get a shot in so your on the aggro list, then let the boss force them to use the aggro dump, then finish it off.

Side Note: I found bosses/elite mobs will follow you further than normal mobs who will run to spawn point if you pull them too far, so prob best to practice with a mate and a mob which will hunt you down till it kills you ...

Hope you can replicate it and that it wasnt just a glitch in the wowtrix

The PvP tactic wont work. When the player goes out of combat, the mob will reset.

When the player goes out of combat, the mob will reset.

Not so, on my rogue I often pull mobs past low levels and vanish...they get nuked and I stealth away laughing

too much hassle to just steal a mob...

Or you could just hit the mob, kill the player, kill the mob.

But ofcourse, not good if the opposite aint in a good mood C:

Seems like a good way, but a different way is to force the mob to chase you (taunts if you have them) then let it reset, if your lucky you can tag it before the other player can. Obviously a hunter would be best for this, or try a warlock with fear. I haven't had a chance to try it on my lock yet though.

truth! I'd rather waste time ganking with less effort.
