What's a counterkite?
My opinion is Fungi Tunic. Manastone I never thought was that useful, but maybe I was doing it wrong.

It's it's essentially how everything's pulled to the zone in of vp. I suppose it's no secret as both guilds do it the same way, so I'll explain--this probably isn't exact as i'm prepping a dps group, but the theory should remain about the same, and shows the importance of high spell aggro (rune, in this case).
Puller 1 grabs dragon and runs it down, Puller 2 gets secondary (any clicky works here, bracer of the hidden is pretty common) as he's running it down and remains deeper into VP, feigned. Puller 1 takes the shitstorm to near entrance and will drop some major threat into the dragon. Mallets are common, puppet strings for the opulent sort. Then Puller 2 (who's deeper into VP) will start hitting bladestoppers. His threat on the mobs will be higher on everything else, except the main pull, who has been hit with a large aggro clicky, ergo single pull without ever having to drop threat (and lose the FTE).
There's prob some technical details wrong with that again, but basically uses two different tiers of threat to split out the dragon without having to feign, allowing FTE to be swapped. Idols are very useful at the beginning of a pull because they're instant and can be hit during the jav throw if the player is quick to avoid being charmed, allowing you to get distance and for a few other pullers to get secondary aggro to avoid a FTE change. PD is basically 16 hours of monks with a target macro and ranged attack right now--it's absolute hell for those FTE monks, but, such is Everquest <_<
edit: necros can do this similarly with manaskin (rune effect) but it's a bit slower and less reliable. Speaking of shitty busted aggro mechanics, how about we fix aoe heals before we have to really start using them in fucking TOV, eh? EH?!
