ACK! Someone remind me at some point to do up a detailed article on Pulling after I finish with all the Base material. I understand this is only a definition, but it is barren of any of the intricacies involved in the various types of Pulling, Aggro, Chain Aggro, Target Selection, Power Selection, and Overpulling.

Also, corner pulling. - Snorii 07:09, 4 July 2006 (PDT)
I tweaked the definition to be a little more formal. (Though I won't deny that there's definitely an art to it...) --TonyV 09:46, 4 July 2006 (PDT)

Types

  • Corner (Geometry)
  • Tree/Pole (Thin Blocking Volumes)
  • Box/Truck (Low Blocking Volumes)
  • Open (No Blocking Volumes)
  • Light (1-3 Pull)
  • Heavy (4-6 Pull)
  • Set (All Pull. RE: Heavy Rooms)
  • Chain (Multi-Set)
  • Wave (Constant)
  • Overpull

You can call it art. I call it science when there's a set collection of rules to follow in order master it. :D - All Star 04:06, 5 July 2006 (PDT)

Rewording[]

Does this sound better? - Snorii 06:55, 5 March 2007 (PST)

The process of attracting the attention (Aggro) of one enemy or a small number of enemies and leading them away from a larger group so that they can be fought successfully.
