Nah! With a druid we NEVER pulled more then 2 and CHARM works AWESOME in
this situation. Who needs an enchanter! Not for Gobs :-). Also, if you
pull from Oasis, you need only to run to the inn. The caster will come up
far enough so that it can see you to nuke. When it does, have a tank engage
it, snare and fear it. Won't get another cast off the rest of the battle.
Also, the inn is a GREAT area for fear and snare since the MOBS will tend to
walk back and forth rather then run across the zone when feared here.
Are biggest problem was the newbies fighting DW Gob pets got pissed at us
for stealing their bread and butter. We just made sure that when we left,
all 6 were spawning pets. Man there were a lot of newbies crowding the lake
for them!
