These two are contradictory. You claim you killed 8 faster than a mage could dream of, then state you killed them in 20 minutes? I can go through 4 - 5 per spawn cycle (6min40sec). In 20 minutes? Even with 3-4 people competition, I'm looking at least a dozen kills. So how exactly is your killing 66% of what I kill in equal time faster than I could ever dream of? Which leads me to my next quote...

I would sometimes pull 3 and kite one around just to keep them to myself.
Even when there are 5-6 people on the island, you can't kill 8 in 20 minutes? Not to turn this into RnF material, but seriously need to learn Seafuries a little better, at least if you're a mage. If you're a non mage class I understand, but locking down two static spawns at 6min40sec is 6 per 20 alone, add in tagging some fluctuating static spawns and if you can't speed tag at least 2 of those per 20 you're doing something wrong.

Moral of the story, learn SF spawn points. Then learn to tag+kite while your pet finishes one off so you have one already lined up. Then learn to buddy up with every single other person on the island in a concerted effort to lockdown every SF spawn whenever there is a Bard/Druid on the island in order to drive them away. I'm sorry but I just laugh everytime I watch a Bard or Druid lock up a spawn point for 10+ minutes while they do their dots and sit, or dots and run around bard speed (and good luck swarm kiting since SFs have a life expectancy of 2 minutes when there are Mages+Necros on isle).
