This is retarded

Seems like all you'd need to do is post bug reports, a few bits of evidence and they'd get right on your change.

Could do it in teh grey with trap mobs np. Also the issue was you couldnt get too far away from mobs or they would deaggro. If you were not retarded you could kite np. I got....200ish aa in the grey doing nothing back in the day.

Fungus was harder due to the exp nerf and the mobs who shroom you

Lazy aggro would be a good game changer to VP pulling...shit, dragon pulling in general. I'd like to see the effects ~

The bards I knew did something called "Swarm kiting" which involved charming mobs in a pack of other mobs that would social onto the charmed mob and beat it down to low health in 1 second. The bard would just break charm with gazughi ring before mob died and charm a new one, repeating this until all the mobs were low enough health that he could finish them with an AE.

I actually saw a Bard doing this the other day in DL and had no idea what he was doing. Pretty cool.

tbh, I don't even remember bards using PBAoE kiting to level on live.

It was pretty baller, but I remember if you stared into your "Swarm" for too long your computer would usually lag out so bad that you'd get facefucked.

For some reason everyone on this server uses AoE kiting and "swarm kiting" interchangeable. As a language nut, I'm glad you posted this.

If pets worked right there would be a reason to use both words. Fix pet aggro.

Yeah they 'fixed' pets so mobs would ignore charmed pets in PoP due to the swarm charming described above. You could pump out serious aa's as a bard swarming lightcrawlers in PoD. Pretty sure that's why it was changed.

Wasn't Bard AE kiting in Maiden's Eye the whole reason that DoT dmg got reduced while moving?

Well it still works in kunark/velious on live, just logged in and pulled half of velks and had it all on my pet.
