They are not faster, they just have a much larger hit box. I dont have the greatest internet connection/computer setup, so I personally didnt have much success in FV. I went back to OT, at like 33 and kited there for a few levels, but ended up heading to Mistmoore and just grouping. Now i'm 40, and am in CoM thinking about doing a bit of kiting again.

I was speaking with a higher level bard and they were telling me that you have to rock a really big resolution in order for the spacing to make sense. They say that you should be able to see the head of the mobs in the corner of the screen when they're in range. Well when you have a small resolution, them being in the screen means their closer than if theyre in the corner of the screen and you have a bigger resolution. So i upgraded my resolution to as big as it could go, and its done wonders

I did tapping, not strafing, and had very little trouble in FV except the occasional spin around when EQ client messed up (i'm on a mac). Once I hit first string DOT I was good. I think it's way faster than OT because of how easy the social aggro is. I did 32ish-50 here in a very short amount of time.
