Editing Venomancer Luring (section)

=== Corners ===

Corners, especially with monsters which can shoot through walls, can be a pain.

:'''Recently, the game introduced 'tab targeting' - hit TAB and you target a nearby monster (hit it again to cycle through) - which, since it ignores walls entirely, makes this much much easier.  Just stay round the corner, hit tab, and send your pet over.  The following section still works - but it no longer needed.'''

But there is a solution, as long as you remember that your pet can (usually) manage to navigate round corners.

Quickly pop your head round the corner, target a monster, and run away.  (It may be safer to leave your pet behind, rather than risking it drawing aggro too early.)

Alternatively, you can use the F9 function to go into screenshot mode and maneuver the camera around. Adjust your camera, click on the mob to target it, and hit F9 again to get out of screenshot mode. The mob will still be targeted and you will not have left your safety area.

If peeking around the corner causes them all to chase you, then sorry, I don't think you can do any better than just trying to kill them all in one go.

Presuming you were quick enough (and the genie skill 'Holy Path' is wonderful for that) then they won't have had time to aggro on you.  Now you can just  keep them targeted whilst you get as far away as possible.

You want your final position to be a minimap radius away, but you can't let any part of the path from here to there be much further than that - your pet won't go round the whole of FB51 to get over a wall, for example.

Make sure that wherever you stop you'll have at least the monsters range in clear view - it's no good pulling it from one corner to another one.

Now send your pet in as normal, even though you can't see the monster you can still attack it as long as you still have it targeted.  (Sometimes called 'blind pulling').
:''You can even cast spells on things that you can't see, even through walls.  And since they can cast back and your melee guys can't get in between you, it's not a good idea.''
 
It will take longer for your pet to reach the monsters, as it wanders round the corners, but it should get there eventually.  

Now let it hit them, unsummon it, and watch the monster navigate back to you.

This will take a while, but you're trading speed for safety.  You could always just rush in, instead.
