Guys just watch the damn video. The reason I haven't tried to AoE kite bunches of mobs my level is because they are getting swings off on me even if they are super far away.

It is probably possible but not efficiently and not safely.

Theres a bug here and I just want it to be more known.
Wahhh!!! WAHHHHHH!!! WAAAHHHHHHH!!!

Stop whining - yes, mobs can (sometimes) hit from unusually far away, but that doesn't mean aoe kiting is impossible or even difficult. I NEVER played a Bard on live, tried it on here and it seems I know more than most of you noobs.

Here is how you aoe kite at low levels:

1-cast selo's with a drum on
2-equip a lute
3-use the stringed aoe so it does twice as much damage
4-once the mob winces, start casting selo's again (selo's should not have worn off yet though, unless you're a noob) and equip a drum before the casting bar disappears
5-start casting regen, equip a lute before the casting bar disappears
6-aoe another mob with a lute on
7-cast selo's, regen, aoe, and so on, bringing more mobs with you unless you're at precariously low health.

Later you get Denon's Disruptive Discord, so you can have two aoe's going at once. Also, if you're ridiculously faster than a mob you can try twisting the DD spell at the same time, but that's not necessary.

You should also equip the AOE fear as a failsafe, as most of you are noobs and will probably need it to prevent yourselves from dying.

Honestly, it's been about 40 times that someone's gone up to me and been like "WOW ARE YOU AOE KITING AS A BARD HOW DO YOU DO IT?????" I figured out without ever having played as a bard and without looking at guides on the internet or anything, because I thought it was intuitive, but I guess some of you are so unfathomably bad that you can't take a little bit of damage from some enemies without whining about it. It was only a matter of time that someone went to the forums to argue that aoe kiting has been "nerfed", with dumb conspiracy theories about how it was done to encourage grouping (lol?)

And to think this is going to get even easier with the new AC mitigation, and yet you'll still be complaining about how it's "impossible".
