The bard AoE thing, I feel like everybody has amnesia. Doesn't anybody remember swarm kiting, where you would charm one of the things in your swarm, and send it in to get slaughtered by the rest?
Ya I get it. As much as I want to MQ an epic to a low or cleric, I get why I can't. But at the same time. By making this change, and others. They have made the server not classic. Simple as that.

And now that they've made it not classic, intentionally, of there own free will. It opens the door for all sorts of posts like this. Not that I'm against them. But do think it's silly how many hobby without even a comment from the devs. When it's the devs who opened the door in the first place.

Edit: and yes, I remember classic swarm kiting. Was my favorite tactic for leveling my bard on live during kunark. But for some reason they can't get social agro to work right here. So ya, aoe kiting is how bards roll in p99. At least the ones that can't group.
