Newbie Coercer

[StoneySilen]

<DIV>I just created a Coercer and he is only lvl 6 so far.  But I noticed that the mobs that I charm don't hold aggro very well at all.  I just use one of my spells and the mob instantly attacks me instead.  Do they not get taunts or is that just at higher levels or what?</DIV>

Well you are level 6, the creatures on the isle dont really use abilities so you wont get any damage from them even if you had a level 1 master befreind, just use them as fodder, send one after something then attack a different mob, burn it down turn kill what your pet  is on, release weak pet and kill it, you just killed three mobs in half the time it would take others. you wont get a real comfortable feeling for the class till the 20's, caster pets with a master charm can definetly keep aggro, just grind away and try to get a group for wailing caverns or fallen gate/stormhold and you will hit 20 in no time, dont expect your pet to tank for you that is a summoners method and coercers dont work that way most times.

<P>And later on you get dps and hate buffs.</P> <P>Put those on a healer pet, dont nuke too hard and you wont rip aggro. And also, keep your charm line at at least ad3, and your hate/dps stuff at ad3 or m1. <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> For solo content you will rock.</P>
