Sounds as I remember but I don't recall the strafe part.

I use arrow keys for direction in EQ so for me it would have been hold UP and LEFT then hit the ENTER key twice to chat on chat off and that locks the auto circle. Don't remember the mouse strafe part but it's been since before the regular live server nerf of aoe kiting that I've done it. What, 8-10 years ago? Might have.

And I started during DoN era and used the bandolier to swap instruments, since I could, so I don't remember that being an issue, but I guess it wouldn't have been even if everything else was identical.

You can't swap instruments between song clicks? I'm guessing the auto circle is locking it out?

Very cool....going to have to check this out soon. Thank you for the info.
after you do the up and left arrows and lock the circle, its too tight mobs will tear you up, the strafing part allows you to run just outside of mob hit box (not all mobs like giants, who have larger hit box)

also this is done without selo and sow.

its hard to swap cause you are using the mouse to steer. you could stop the auto circle and swap instruments then start again and hit the swarm with next ae, and repeat before the first wears off.

but currently songs check for mod every tic, so swapping would not yield the best dps.

if you get into game id be happy to show you.
