Not sure. I would just charm the mob and then it would do nothing but whack
on me. Very amusing for wizards. I could charm it and have it chase me
around after it broke charm and no one would get hit, they could happily
stand at center circle and nuke it to death or med as needed.

Yea, I like to help newbies as I cruise through the zones if it looks like
they need the help. I'm usually able to taunt the mob off with using just
"chains", but worse comes to worse, I just throw in a screech and keep
chaining for them.
Charm definitely is the best taunt, but it could be confusing for the
newbie. Are you still able to whack a mob to an inch of it life, charm,
then have the newbie get exp? I never tried this, but I do like to keep up
on the possibilities.
