No, "swarm" kiting refers to charming because Live aggro table works (worked?, I haven't played Live since '04) in such a way that gathering a group, charming 1, then having it attack another in the pack will turn the ENTIRE pack onto the 1 charm. Thus the "swarm" you have gathered turns on 1 mob and makes very short work of it. Swarm kiting does not work on P99 because the "swarm" does not transfer aggro to the charmed pet like it does (did?) on live; on P99 the one mob your pet is attacking will turn on your pet, but the rest will stay aggroed on the bard.

And machin576's post is not the original. He added some updates, but I'd like at least -some- credit.
