When a kiter is hassling you, get some pumice and haul it around with you,
it has effect of dispell. So if a druid sow's you you can remove it. Or even
better if he for instance is kiting a giant, he's using sow, and his giant
is snared, dispell them both and watch him get out of this one, this has
been very usefull for us when a couple of high level shamans tried to steal
our very nasty named hill giant once. (Brood Bloodbeard). they had to back
off to rebuff themselves hence letting us get more damage. Its such a pain
in the butt when you spend over half an hour on a rare and someone tries to
steal it like that. We got the kill, got 2pp each from it and a set of
giant toes, great rare verant! oh and Ocylis ogrebane (or whatever its
name is) the cyclops had junk like this too. Both are 40+ mobs and have
tons and tons of hp. Killing zazamoukth was easier then brood
