Bard swarming ruins classic experience.

I've tried swarm kiting on this server and social mobs don't properly assist onto your charmed pet. The only time they do is when your pet goes under 20% and gets low HP aggro.

The only reason they wouldn't assist in classic is if you previously charmed the mob (1 charm was sufficient aggro for them to ignore your new pet and chase you) or if you had DoT'd them once or twice.

The one way I've seen swarming sort of work is if you charm a mob and send it into one mob in a train. It'll pull one mob out of the train and start attacking it; the mob will leave the train as long as you don't have too much aggro on it from a snare or another high aggro song. If you run the train back over that mob you charmed, all the mobs on the same faction as the mob you sent your charmed pet after will then attack your charmed mob.

I'm guessing this isn't how it worked in classic?
