But on new server none of this BS should go down, they nerfed bard AE's to 4 targets on live because of this nonsense.

Again... show some fucking proof that this nerf was done during the era in which this server emulates.

Bind yourself right outside OT Fort, ding 30-52 in a day, yea sounds legit. Sorry but Swarm kiting is really good enough for a bard to solo to 60 faster than any other class in game.

When this became prevalent on Live they nerfed it, of course 15 years later everybody knows exactly how to do it and most toons on this server hit 60 because of it. On live 80% of the toons weren't bard lvl'd to 60.

AGAIN... fucking Kunark is not open on release, making 90% of your complaining in this thread irrelevant. Do you even know the difference between "swarm" kiting and pbae kiting? Do you understand that "SWARM" kiting doesn't even function here as it should?

Here's a great explanation of how Bard AE kiting is used now and why it was not something used in classic!

And then you proceed to link a post about LOW HP AGGRO KITING which is entirely different than standard bard AE kiting.

Again, if your argument is that LOW HP AGGRO KITING should be nerfed, I agree. But that's entirely separate from bard PBAE kiting, something that I did on live through all of Velious.

Learn to fucking read long enough to realize I'm in agreement that low hp aggro needs to be fixed before the new box releases.

I'd rather have both nerfed.

Pretty obvious that you simply want the mechanic removed all together. Either that or you don't understand that Bard AE kiting = running in circles to AE mobs whereas swarm kiting = abusing social aggressiveness of NPCs to charm one out of a group of 15, /pet attack then break charm before the whole grp kills your pet so you can finish it for xp.

Do not presume to know what the staff can and cannot handle in terms of coding. Low hp kiting could very easily be fixed if they indeed wanted it to be. Either adjust the hate generated by bard AE, adjust the hate modifier that having low HP uses, or do both.

But again.... bard kiting will be viable to 30-35ish AT MOST when this server is released. And considering how many people will be populating every single classic zone, it's going to be slow as fuck. Use some common sense, seriously.
