Editing Venomancer Luring (section)

=== Ranged Monsters ===

Ranged monsters have two problems.

The first is simple: They can hit you from further away, so you just need to run further back.

The second is that they tend to run diagonals, and run away and...

For running away, make sure that you pull them ''past'' the tank.  Then when the tank hits them, they will run away from the tank, and towards everyone else.  (And since there's an exception to every rule, including the exceptions: ''Don't'' do this with exploding monsters.  Your 'everyone else' won't thank you.)

:To make this explicit: Once your pet is stowed, and the monster is chasing you, you need to run far enough back that the monster will stop between the tank (who should be out front) and the rest of the party.  Which, taking into account the monsters attack range, means that you probably need to run a fair distance behind everyone else.

For the ones which run diagonally?  (The casters in FB39 are probably the first you will meet which do this to any great extent) All you can do its practice.  After a while you'll recognize their patterns, and you can work out where you need to stand to bring them near to the tank.
