MOB Run Speed & Hit Box

[falkun]

Back in Everquest Live (GoD-ish era), I had an alt bard. When I wasn't grouping through LDON (instances suck btw), I was bard kiting with Selos and chords + whatever single target DoTs I had acquired at the time.

I seem to remember that it was very close, but if I did it right I could get JUST in range of chords for AEing without actually being in melee range of the 1-5 MOBS i was kiting at the time. Now, it may be that I am a younger, untwinked bard whose skills are rusty, but I feel like I cannot get into chords range without also entering melee range.

What I am asking is: Are MOB hit box sizes on P99 the same as their sizes from live? Or is this kiting + chords combo just not viable on P99?
