So leveling a low lvl alt with terrible gear started a fight with the Werewolf trio in Glennumbra, turns out not all the other nearby toons joined in, it was basically 3 squishies on 3 big ole mean WW world bosses.. the other toons kept dying and soon the attention was square on me. So i tried that Pvp trick and wow it worked they couldn't touch me! long enough for the others to work em over. fun stuff. My bear certainly helped though!
Ummm stuff… about stuff…or something.

    In World of Warcraft, we called that "Pillar humping". Druids were especially good at it.

    That used to be something that was standard practice in PvE. Now days it's all "Stand in the fire and punch them in the face. If you die before they do, then you didn't punch hard enough."

    Why would people want annoying mechanics over stack and burn. I guess those who suck at doing rotation like a robot and claim they can be good at something harder, or the super elite who just want to fu-ck over 99% of the players.

    Because back in the early days overland content was actually HARD, taking on more than 3 enemies at a time was often a death sentence. It taught you quickly how to survive. Now its a complete joke and not even worth the time of playing. This is why 90% of my time is now spent in vet DLC dungeons and trials, its the only place where standard mobs cant be facerolled anymore.

    Good thing those Werewolves didn't have any ranged attacks. Just about every ranged mob that I've seen can fire projectiles right through objects like rocks, trees, etc. and makes it almost impossible to take cover against.

    This is how you must fight the world boss in Stonefalls...you know the one.

    Pretty sure that's actually an intended mechanic for some world bosses. I remember beating one of the Malabal Tor world bosses that way anyhow.

    Shame that a lot of PvE content has that weird "reset range" thing, which stops you from being able to kite a lot of the time.
