No Ranged Pull Ability is BS

[Swampmoose]

I spent a good while flying around looking for Vyragosa this morning and I found her! So I am trying to run and out range her to get her to the ground, not working, meanwhile I am getting gang raped by harpies left and right in the process. Still can't get her to come out of the air. Couple minutes goes by and still can't get her to come down, running around all over the place, getting my ass kicked by her and the harpies. Then all of a sudden she is gray and tagged by an alliance prot paladin.

It is complete fucking bullshit that I spend all this time looking for a mob and can't even fucking tag it because ret does not have a single ranged tagging/pull ability. There needs to be one added. It can do 1 damage, hell, it can cause 2000 damage to me for all I care. There needs to be something, anything, to tag a fucking mob from outside of 2 feet in front of your face that isn't undead or demon.

Anyone else getting sick of stuff like this, normally I brush it off and don't say much, but I spent a long time looking for that mob to have some jerk-off come up and snag it while I'm getting harpies jammed up my ass left and fucking right and having the rare mob blasting me with frost attacks at the same time.

There. Now your post is slightly more XML compliant.

for that quest you really should just fight her while in the goblin shredder that they gave you for the gathering quest. unless you already turned that quest in. its real easy when you hit the throw buzz saw and it hits for 7k damage

Must just be you, she does not fly high enough that you couldnt hit her with a seal at some point.

It is not a quest, it is a rare elite mob that spawns in Storm Peaks.

^^^ correct way to do this quest.....

On my Hunter I forgot about the shredder and had my pet die twice before I downed her.. She hits hard!

[Obsidian]

ok NM then well i always pull flying mobs buy flying close hiting them with a judgment and if im too high up bubble b4 i hit the ground

[Swampmoose]

Would I be making this fucking post if she flew low enough to the ground?

[Prideaux]

I am sure that Blizz could give you one of the useless priest abilities that have a stupid long range but do pretty much naff all

[Aloysius]

I can't remember if they removed this, but can't you select an option that dismounts you if you attempt to cast in the air? Select your seal of choice, fly up to her, judge and win.

On the whole, however, I generally agree with you. No ranged pull beyond 10 yards is BS (unless it's undead).

You can do the dismount, judge thing, yeah...but what if the mob is high enough up that it will cause a significant amount of fall damage, bubble isn't available 100% of the time to save from that. Yeah judging, jumping from your mount, and crossing your fingers is an option, but it shouldn't be that way.

engineering provides a ranged pull trinket!

I didnt ask you, it's not a matter of "If she flew low enough" she does.

She flies around the area in a circle.. At points she gets high in the air then comes back down when she gets closer to the entrance and right side.
Her feet are about head level with your character at that point, but as the guy said you are supposed to be using the shredder anyway.

[Hallis]

Or if you feel like questin gin Un Goro go get Linken's Boomerang. If you havent already done that quest.

[dustbunny]

Sure there are other options.. but he does have a point. We are pretty much the only class and spec that has this issue. Something anything... it can be totaly garbage for anything but pulling would be nice Did you make a post in the suggestion forums?

Engineers can make a device that attaches to your cloak that gives you a slow fall effect that is usable very 60 seconds. I'm pretty sure it takes the place of an enchant, so if you dont want to replace your current enchant, just get a green cloak off the AH. I know it sucks, but its better than nothing.

Im pretty sure its just alliance ret pallys...Blood Elf paladins can pull mobs with that racial they have...i think it has like a 30 yard range, or at least they used to. Not sure if that racial was nerfed or whatever.

[Burner]

Since you are so caught up on needing a pull I just looked it up in the Paladin forums and many are stating you can use Repentance and Exorcism to pull targets and it will just be a "body pull" without the undead effect.

I personally have never tried this on my Ret but there's quite a few saying it works so I'll try this tonight.

Kill prot pally, kill mob.

[mattimaeus]

I for one am very sure that ret paladins need a reliable ranged pull no matter how shitty.

For example i was in the emerald dragonshrine in the dragonblight and i had to kill 12 birds flying above me, i do have enginerring but the rocket launcher has a 2min cooldown so i spent 24min just waiting to pull non elite mobs to finish a quest, its not very fair on paladins.

Exorcism and Repentance are stuck being useable only on undead/demon/humanoids since most strange flying mobs are usually ya know beasts or dragonkin it still leaves you high and dry not to mention 20 yards is never enough unless you exploit terrain and jump and down like a clown.

Blood Elf paladins can pull mobs with that racial they have...i think it has like a 30 yard range, or at least they used to. Not sure if that racial was nerfed or whatever.

The racial used to be be mana tap but we lost that when they buffed arcane torrent to not need mana tap counters.

I'm not asking for anything for pvp i just want something that doesnt have a 1min cooldown to pull down mobs that blizzard thinks are so nifty that they are in the air.
