Nerfbat, I'm a returning player and trying out different kiting techniques at level 35.. I haven't tried charm kiting. I let all my pets obtain aggro and then just nuke whichever one has lowest health after breaking charm - then I go and find another pet. This is kind of a pain because I do have to find a new pet that isn't con yellow or white to me after every kill. Also, it does seem some pets hold charm longer than others.

Have you done that method of charming yet and have you found you holding aggro to be better while your trusty pet just hits it from behind? I can generally kill 1-3 mobs doing it the way mentioned above but if I can take on 5 using only pet I think I'm going to make a switch.

As others have explained here - charm a mob and let it tank the other mob. Break charm when both are low health and kill both. For charming, that's the best method. Flame lick just can't hold aggro vs. pets.

Now when I duo with my brother's rogue. I can snare kite with flame lick and he can dps it down without taking aggro. That works out very nicely as well. Im sure this would work just as well with a monk's dps.
