For those thinking about making a Bard to aoe kite

[citizen1080]

You are citing worse case scenario like it is the norm...i aoe kited in OT from 42 to 49. I NEVER trained a group once...I NEVER took mobs right around a group. I would CC and then avoid water hole/ledge/ramp as needed and pull the rest of the mobs away from those groups. I kited in a remote corner that no one used. I pulled 80-100mobs a kite every time and I never had a group bitch about me being in the zone.

I also was smart enough to only do this on weekdays when the zone was quiet instead of trying to do it prime time.

Yea I got gibbed once in awhile but if you're good deaths are kept to a minimum.

I also was bound in OT...so if I did die after 5 seconds of loading screen I would shout that a kite was heading back to their bind points so beware.


It's not rocket science to AOE kite and still play nice with other groups. Obviously you have dealt with some bad bards which has lead to your illogical nerd rage on the subject. Step back, breath, and remember. It's just a game.



The one place i don't think is doable for us to AOE kite is City Of Mist...I did some 30+ mob kites there..pulling all the bridge and arena but it was hit and miss. The pathing there is so bad you're 50/50 on getting them tight enough to kill or them splitting and gibbing you and training any other groups in zone.
