I'm still having a crap load of problems kiting right now. I'm level 13 and I'm using the level 2 song. I'm using mouse to steer from a 3rd person view that is directly behind my bard and I am scrolled all the way out.
I lock auto run and hold down the left key to get me into a running strafe and then alternate selos and the aoe while I do this. (I prefer holding down the left key, gives me a false sense of control).
Now people say that the aoe will hit at the very edge of my screen on mobs that are chasing me, but this has been very inconsistent from me. Sometimes it hits further on my screen, sometimes it hits shorter. Most of the time it hits beyond my screen where I can't see the pack I am kiting.
Actually in truth, 90% of the time I land my aoe, the pack is out of view completely and I'm doing a lot of guess work which is bogus. I simply don't understand why it is so inconsistent and it is causing me a lot of deaths.
My deaths so far have all been mobs hitting me off screen where I have no idea where their position is.
Is there something I should be doing, or is there another way to zoom out my camera more?
I've tried the third person view and tap running, but I despise it personally. I can't judge their position to my aoe or bard at all in this view.
Edit: Also I'm having a big problem stacking all the mobs exactly. I'll run large circles or squares to try and get all the mobs stacked completely on top of each other but I can't seem to get it perfect. I can tell because on some of my rotations only 1-2 monsters in the pack will get hit with the aoe and the rest will miss. I know this is a big problem because this basically means that those two are closer to me than the pack is and if I go in further there is a large chance I'll hit their hit box and they'll bash me.
Could really use some in depth help on this.
