In addition to this, when you are fighting relatively non-aggressive mobs,
lull will have a much greater effect. Like, I am fighting the Nybright
sisters in Lesser Faydark right now, and I can lull 3 of 4 of them, and I
will never get more than just one at a time, no matter what placement they
are in. This is probably because if I wasn't attacking them, I could just
walk up and say hi. I suppose this might work the same way with Aviaks or
Centaurs, which are naturally non-aggressive races.

Hope this helps,
