Pull with ranged weapons or cheap spells for the whole game. Remember though there's a rule of initial aggro, a spell or ability used on a mob who is not aggroed on you can only do maximum 75 aggro, the equivalent of a 75 damage nuke. Do not waste stun as the initial pull spell. Fire an arrow so the mob aggros you, THEN hit it with a stun so it does full aggro.

Other classes figure this out when they pull with disease cloud or flame lick initially and notice they lose the mob easily until the second time casting.

Conversely, do pull on classes with spells that have rediculous aggro as the initial spell, so it causes very little ;P

Long root a mob on a pathing node and they’ll pull them selves.

Until then fling an arrow, then lock in aggro with FoL once it is in camp.

If you're pulling with something low aggro (an arrow, for example)... be aware that if you run to close to your casters/cleric they're going to get sit aggro. Keep a few steps distance from them if you can.

sit agro is casters problem; they should be sitting far enough from tanking/melee spot. pull with arrow and time your FOL to land precisely when target comes into your melee range

I disagree, exp group is the ideal moment to teach casters about sit agro...

For stuff you need to break, you need to use soothe, For pulling stuff at range, use stun. If you can't use stun, use your bow. Once you get level 22, you can just straight up pull with root, and most of the time you won't even need to lull because it gets broken up anyways.

You will not get sit agro if you throw a stun or a blind (or equally high-threat) move on a mob before dragging it over someone else.

If the mob is blinded, they'll hit the 'nearest target', but if you blind them and then the actual effect wears off, you can drag the monster over anything and it'll still chase you.

level 39+ you can pull with Cancel Magic as well.

But otherwise, longbow+arrow is the correct answer.
