Mage aggro kiting?

[Oft]

Damn. Well, to any enterprising magicians who chance upon this thread, Phinny is definitely doable with a small group. Have a pet or a player w/ worn EB tank it. Just keep the tank alive and it's simple (assuming you have COTH to deal with the seahorses). If your group is good, the hardest part will be getting the engage. GL

On topic: The only spell I could see working for this is Scars of Sigil because of its short cast time. You would have to dump a lot of mana to keep aggro from the 60 pet (especially if it's focused). You could give a snare weapon to the pet, but that's a bit too much RNG when the entire strategy revolves around you being able to keep aggro. It's a shame there's a cap on threat generated by the first hit...otherwise pulling with SFoS would be pretty powerful. Also, a final wet blanket: if aggro kiting were a viable strat, I'm sure you'd see more mages doing it.
