Nice exp week but why is it that when I go to grind mobs my lvl all the mobs are stacked?

I don't even have a chance because what I grind are all agro.
There is a mass amount of land and every single mob is stacked in one place while the rest of the land is bare.

Hell I cant take on 7 agro mobs at once.

WTF? Ingenious play by the creators.

End rant.
Thank you.
I used to do drugs, I still do but I used to too.

    I find the close groupings of most mobs seriously annoying at times, but I'm a veno so I don't have as much cause to complain.

    It's just annoying when i'm levelling a low pet though, because I can have it survive up to 2 mobs of my level attacking at once. When something ridiculous happens like that time I somehow got 2 Foxwing Supremes, 3 Shrunchkin Warlocks and like 2 Tauroxes following me, well..

    Sawfly? Dead. Heiro? Ticked multiple times. Ran away? You bet.

    So annoying b:cry

    Send pet in, have pet hit all the monsters. AoE the monsters. AoE venomancer style.

    Yeah.. veno pull is a good theory but I've found it's key weakness. To make the pull work you MUST be within a certain range of the mob. If not it'll just be like "lol no" and totally ignore you.

    So in FBs where nothing spawns and aside from patrol, there's nothing around you, its a perfect technique, and you can't really go wrong. In the outside however, where there's mobs coming back for more every minute and walking up to you.. ugh.

    The mobs are no more clustered than they normally are. Just search for isolated mobs. There are always stray mobs hanging around.

    Try this:

    1/. Get within the range that is needed to hold the target mob's attention.
    2/. Send pet to attack the targeted mob and start moving away (in the opposite direction away from the fight).
    3/. Dismiss pet and re-summon.
    4/. Wait till targeted mob gets within range then send pet in and burn it down.

    Note 1: If you move too far from the fight the pet will despawn and respawn besides you effectively ending combat.
    Note 2: If you get the technique right you should have time to throw a heal on your pet if this is needed before combat recommences.
    Note 3: If done right you can pull a targeted mob anywhere on the map including into a town if you are really bored.
