Hey, about charm kiting, the recent charm nerf to my knowledge only shortened the duration of the charms. Charm kiting (the way I used to do it) didn't depend on the charm's duration.
According to Jify a few posts back, the key ingredient to charm kiting, bard style, isn't working correctly. Which is to have mobs attack your pet, and not you.
I'll play around with this in later levels once I have charm, but here's how I used to do it.
I would go gather up a bunch of KoS monsters, and not touch them, just get aggro. I would choose one mob and charm it. After it was charmed, I would send it into the mob group, and the entire group would attack my pet.
If you had enough mobs, your pet would lose HP fairly quickly. Once your pet is about dead, you go INVS and lose the charm. You had to invs or break charm before your pet started running. If you break charm after your pet begins to run, you won't recieve any EXP. If you were able to break charm before your pet started running, you would finish it off with DDs and DoTs, and then repeat with the next monster.
This can be very safe and effecient EXP. I really only used this 50+, and I remember doing it in Cobalt Scar (at the port in) with the Wyverns looking over the cliffs.
So, if here on P99, if the mobs for some reason won't attack your pet, and come after you instead, then it won't work. Like I said, I'll mess around with it later on, but maybe we can find the reason why and /bug it.
