This was the cry of salvation last night when I was tanking the Deadmines and pulled an epic fail Brick Blunder, accidentally using Faerie Fire (Feral) on a mob at the top of the scaffolding / ramp on the gangway leading up to the final boss encounter. I had meant to pull the mob directly in front of me but missed by two entire stories on the scaffolding.
The mob heap snowballed on the way down the ramp. It was a Bad Thing™.
I think, by the time the entire group of mobs got down to me there were 10-15 of them, and my healer had the presence of mind to let me twist in the wind and bust their Disciplined chops up the ramp and onto the water wheel. At the very least, I think I bought them some time to escape.
Once on that wheel, the mobs cannot attack you, as they lack ranged abilities. If you wait long enough, they de-aggress and return to their leashed starting points.
After that, wipe recovery and we were back up and running.
I will likely go back to the Deadmines after a level or two and try those pulls again with my patented Flying Bear Maneuver. I'll try to get some screenshots of those pulls as well.
