EU+US PvE Aggro Drop and Escapes

Bóóbóókit

Grandfathered
At L1, being able to bail from a PvE boss fight or solo challenge can be extremely useful. This is because dying in fight, as we all know, can be very costly in loss of buffs. Most buffs are cheap, but imagine having a Rallying Cry of the Dragonslayer, Boot Flask buff, or other single use buff that require gold or grinding to obtain. Now imagine dying for whatever reason and losing those great buffs in effectiveness. Being able to drop aggro and flee can give you extra attempts at full strength.

The lasting, reusable aggro drop is the Night Elf racial Shadowmeld. Anyone thinking of building a L1T for PvE should seriously consider this race, just for this racial alone. If you must pick another race though, I recently tested out the Love Fool. It's only valid during the Love is In the Air event, but it's a L1 obtainable target dummy. Consumed on use, it will AoE taunt when dropped, giving you the chance to run off and fight another day with all your buffs (and your dignity) intact, should things not go your way.

If anyone knows any other good items or tactics for escaping, please list them below
 
Discombobulator Ray pretty useful for kiting

Good addition, thank you. Since this cast is in the physical school, you could expect it would work on higher level mobs. All the spell schools miss like crazy against higher levels.
