A legitimate reason to why bards couldn't AE kite in classic like they can on P99

[indiscriminate_hater]

Also, swarm kiting was more popular because it was a whole lot safer

That first post is almost offensive. I always used a fixed floating f9 camera position and just tapped d over and over as I kited.

Right - but it's certainly harder to judge distance than noise. If one of those senses are removed, I guarantee bards will be frantically trying to determine noise and not die. I don't know how others kite, but sight and sound play a crucial part in my ability to kite.

I never saw the mobs when I kited. With tapping method you can adjust circles slowly until you are in range to land songs but not get hit. You also get the hang of it so you can adjust circle-size quickly. Seeing mobs is not a requirement to do this easily. I also do not change my camera or strafe when doing this (I do not use the mouse at all, just autorun and tap turn button with one hand and songs on numpad with the other).

I just ran in a circle backwards on live.

Uh what?! Lol mouse wheel worked in 99 also strafe. This is all wrong.

I kited all the way to 54 on a bard, I never used strafe hotkeys (I still dont to this day), always key tap'd to keep my radius where i wanted it. I was always in 3rd person, and F9 would work fine for it.

One reason kiting is so difficult here, compared to live, is how far out a mob can hit you when you're running straight ahead / away from them. Its not the same as live was. Kiting on live was much easier.

Well I never made it to 55 sad to say, but Tapping was the only way I knew how to do it back then. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] I bet I was not alone.

^ Mouse wheel and strafe both worked on live in 99. You got this all wrong Secrets.
