I don't exactly enjoy being the main melee when playing...but more often then not..its me and my shaman partner..who needs to be free from attack to heal my butt. I've found Draw Out to be incredibly helpful in getting the mob to focus on me..even when my partner pulls the mob. We frequently team up to do mobs well above our lvl because I can keep Joe-monster ticked at me...even when my partner drops a big heal on me.
Well worth the skill points.
