Combat Tactics

I am not sure if that's what the original poster meant, but to me it seems tactics are almost nonexistent in WoW. Strategy, yes. A lot of strategic planning often required to take out certain mobs. Choosing what skills to use against which mobs to me is strategy. But tactics... When you try to use terrain (like a mountain ridge) to run away from a mob, they will often teleport to you because they could not get over the range. You tried to use tactics, you get punished for it. You want to use a river to slow down the pursuit? Unlike you, they don't slow down in water, they just keep running along the bottom of the water, attacking you (yes from 100 feet below). You corner a mob when it tried to run away, and it magically teleports through walls or somewhere else, often bringing his buddies. In this game I find you get punished for trying to use tactics. =(

My understanding (and hope) is that this sort of thing will be eliminated as more code is pushed into the game. I don't think retail players would very well stand for teleporting mobs and intangible trees, eh?
