Anyone test this and see exactly how it's changed? Did it on live, so I'm trying to figure out what was changed or why it was changed.

Get ready for chardok next if it was changed to just please a portion of the community.

Edit: saw nilbogs post. Ya you shouldn't be able to do this with no consequence. Typically you gotta zone or campout every few minutes so mobs don't turn on you instead of the guy with low health.

AE Kiting on a bard is still doable without Low HP Aggro.

The level 49 song 'Shield of Songs' generates an ENORMOUS amount of hate (atleast it should), as the game considers it a rune casted over and over on the same person. Pulsing it for about 3-4 minutes gives you a solid aggro lock up to around 5000~ DMG. Longer you do it the more DMG that is allowed.

Bards can still powerlevel and kite but cannot do the no-risk low-hp kiting anymore. This will likely affect those who are leveling bards the most.

Where was the no risk low hp kiting exactly? In overthere is about the only place where u didn't have to zone 2-3 times during the kite.

works for me.

Please report any further issues or tweaks aoe kiting may need. Objectively to get it as similar to Velious-era as possible.

low HP still should cause agro, canni shamans had to be careful on raids so they didn't move the mob...ppl taking AoEs and getting too low ping poneged the mob etc etc..all that should work. A use not intended of a mechanic is soooo classic eq... Devs admited fear kiting and fd splitting was not intended but just clever use of mechanics.

Low HP isn't end all and be all aggro... hence why bards usually have to zone a few times during a kite... or am I completely mistaken?
