I'm so ashamed of myself

I'm a level 39 druid and I've never quad kited. How is it done?!

snare things, run in circle to round them up, use aoe

[Aerar]

its fairly simple, snare all targets and aoe. Its quad because that is the max reliable number that you can both keep snared and hit with your aoe.

but snare all first, run in circles to get them bunched up then aoe, run aoe, run aoe, resnare if needed.

Rinse repeat

It's fast XP, but so damned boring. Grabbing a Clarity first helps a bit.

Snare 4 mobs, run from them, circle around to make sure they group up, then cast your AOE nuke.

You're gonna want to get 4 mobs, snare them all, then use an AE to kill them.

Thanks! I feel like I haven't been a real druid until reading this.

For some reason, circling backwards gathers them faster.

It is boring. I prefer charming. While charming, there is zero down time and it's fun. I'm leveling an enchanter solo because I enjoy it so much.

The distance between you and the snared mobs determines how quickly they cluster together. If you can take the pounding, simply standing still until all are on you, then backing up a short distance and repeating will give you a very tight cluster, very quickly. Unless you're quadding relatively weak mobs, and are very well-geared, this can be quite risky. Getting stunned can really mess you up.

My usual tactic was to position so that the mobs appear to be spaced as widely apart as possible. Allow them to get nearby, but still far enough back that they can't hit you. Move away at the same speed as they approach. Backing up with SoW works, as does strafing or walking away with camera angled to show the relative range. The mobs are trying to converge on you. The closer they are, the faster they converge.
