Lowering damage

[petmaturn]

When doing some clean up in a low level zone a high level toon will kill a mob in one shot.
But if you have to capture that mob equip your fishing pole it will damage the mob so slowly that you will have time to capture the weaken mob. This is a good reason to keep your fishing pole in your bag even if you aren't fishing.

Most of the time stopping the special attacks helps too. At least I was able to capture the raptors in Dustwallow.

Yes its tricky especially if in a 10 to 20 zone. At first I though about carrying a weak newbie weapon but the fishing pole seems to work but you still have to be fast with the capture spell.
