All mobs (with the exception of non-raid campable mobs) operate under the FTE mechanic. The FTE shouts are simply there for convenience to provide indisputable proof of who achieved FTE. Raid mobs cannot be kited, but they can be pulled, in a reasonably direct line, to a specific camp/kill spot. In the case of Sev, raids generally set up at the TT zone line. Because the pull must be reasonably direct to a given camp, the time allowed before a pull becomes a kite can vary. Gorenaire and Sev tend to be faster pulls due to where most raids kill them, so a 5 minute Gore pull is probably a stall. Faydedar, however, is almost universally killed on ogre island, so the pull often takes 7 or 8 minutes.

Raid mobs can also be pulled if no raid is present in the zone provided that 1) a raid is making a good faith effort at assembling, and 2) the puller immediately takes it to the designated camp. This is what leads to the "dragon rush" as guilds delay achieving FTE as long as possible until they're certain they can assemble in time.
