I've kept my swarms between 15-35 but have noticed some swarm jumping/porting that is unrelated to any lag I may be experiencing with people entering and exiting the zone.

I have noticed today that without any run speed boosts I can strafe away but need to run larger circles to keep a safe distance.

Kiting a full pull in BW without issue.

OK, that's a relief, I was beginning to wonder if they had some auto-disconnect thing going on if you pulled 50+ mobs...

mobs are probably, 3-5% faster? circles need to be bigger now, but the kite seems smoother and much easier to land spells on /predict your distance from. the mobs seem to stutter/warp a lot less providing a more consistent "blob" behind you to gauge your distance.

Kil is right on. Mobs move a tad bit faster my circles are a bit wider. I find if I have to tighten up or avoid an add I pop selos for a sec and tighten the circle down some.

tried last night in OT, made 21 24, was working well, mobs are a bit faster but I found that it's easier that way
heading to LOiO !

I'm a new bard trying to learn how to swarm kite.

The only issues I have been having is with the camera. Is there a way to bind your the camera to be controlled by something other then then holding down right click?

use 1st person view, and scroll with middle button to maximum so that you can see yourself and move using the mouse.
once circling I don't move camera

He doesn't mean moving the camera, at least I don't think. I think he means needing to right click to mouse turn when he is strafing. I imagine this is because your finger/hand is hurting.

I switched to using a GameCube controller, and now I am in heaven.

ha ok, in that case I found increasing mouse sensitivity worked wonder
