Editing Venomancer Luring (section)

=== Pre-Position your pet ===

This one is for catching really fast monsters that are roaming, when your pet is too slow.  Scrunchkins in FB51 (and some in the boss room in 59, and also some places in 79) are a good example of these.

It's dangerous.  Far better to use a faster pet, if you can.

Ok, warnings over.  This one is actually pretty simple.  All you do is have your pet follow you to somewhere you know the roaming monsters will be.

That's the dangerous part.  Time it wrong, and the monsters will be there, and beat you up.

Now, hit 'halt' on your pet, and run back to somewhere safe, though not so far away that your pet will teleport back to you, or unsummon.

When the roamers turn up, have your pet hit them, unsummon your pet and continue as normal. It may be easier to have your pet start attacking (or running to attack, which happens often) while the roamer is running towards you/your pet. Don't wait for the mob to aggro on your pet or to get to where you should be hitting it to start attacking. Letting the mob help you close the gap is more effective than trying to play it safer and end up chasing a mob.

Don't forget to take your pet off of 'halt' mode when you're done!

:One potentially safer way to position your pet is to send it to attack the running mobs.  If it catches one, great!  Lure as normal.  If it fails to catch one, halt it and wait for them to come back, as above.
