Playing a bard without kiting.

[Eugee]

Charm Kiting:
Required songs: charm, speed, snare, chants
Charm a mob and sic it on another. Play speed and wait. When charm breaks charm the OTHER mob, sit it on the first. Play speed and repeat. When they both get so low that one flees, snare it and chant it down as the other charm breaks. Now finish the other mob off.

Fear Kiting:
Songs: snare, fear, chants, haste(optional)
Pull a mob to a good area, snare it, fear it, and apply DPS. Normal mobs can be feared from just outside melee range with practice. For bigger mobs just run in and take the hit to get them feared. If you only have 2 chants, then play snare-fear-haste-chant-chant while meleeing for max dps. If you have 3 chants, just use your drum and play snare-fear-chant-chant-chant. if you snag a resist or miss too many notes in the cycle, skip something to keep fear on the mob.

Snare Kiting:
songs: snare & chants
Once you get your third chant and you're feeling lazy, you can just snare and chant. It's only 2/3 damage but it works and it's completely safe.

That's how I solo-duo @ 48.

There's pretty much always a way for someone to duo with that. Anyone who does more DPS than you is a prime candidate to kill whatever you are fear-kiting.
