How does bait toss work?

[Sanisum]

Hello, I'm trying to build AoE hunter and almost every guide says to max out bait toss. I have bait toss at level 2 right now and have no idea how it works. I targeted some mobs and sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't.

How do you guys usually mob as an AoE hunter? Comments appreciated

Bait Toss is a lure that basically gathers mobs into an area and make them unable to attack you for a few seconds, almost like a stun. You'd want to take it to Level 5 to 100% affect them (doesn't work on Boss/ Raid Boss).

Personally I use my skills to get as much mobs as I can, Bait Toss them. And gather some more.
