One way average (non PL) lowbies dealt with this that I often saw was that they would pbae the train for more damage, thereby gaining themselves a free trains worth of experience [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
Its already KSing to bard PL, right?
Perhaps if there were more train trolls on 99=less people angered by PLs and more people getting the xp they want [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
whenever I've PLed people here before I've noticed the strain (especially in xp bonus week) that my work puts on zones, and while its not my intention to do that for extended periods of time I could see based upon that where having a bard along is 10x better for some and 10x worse for others lol |
This is actually quite an interesting concept. By virtue of the bard low hp kiting and the people being PLed essentially KSing the bard it would actually make the entire train fair game for anyone.
I would have to then assume it is ok if you are able to AOE down the bards train faster than the people being PLed you would not be punished for this.
Of course all the bard would have to do is notice this and sing regen and effectively convert the aggro to you then goodnight.
I kinda think swarm kiting is just an accepted aspect of the game and that those who get swarm kited dont really want to experience the game between 1-50.
Honestly swarm kiting is only effective in zones that arent that great xp for people grouping anywhere, with ZEM OT is really not the best place to go - try a dungeon.
Ive rambled too long
