Bard kiting - newbie questions

[Pringles]

So I just rolled a bard, got her to level 7 so far. I know I dont have enough ae songs yet to successfully kite (at least with any sort of speed), but figured i'd try it out since i have selos now.

I have read the threads about kiting here (thanks for shedding light on it!), and have been sure to avoid getting hit using the techniques listed there.... my problem is getting close enough to land my AE song without getting hit though.

The range seems very short, and maybe 1 in 4 I can land my song successfully while trying to avoid being hit. Usually I end up getting too close and get smacked.

Is this just a level thing? Try again when Im higher level? Or am I completely missing the boat with my turning etc while trying to avoid getting hit?

Have there been any updates or responses from the devs here about the long reach of mobs when you're running straight away from them? Hopefully that changes soon [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]


Thanks in advance.
