Cool stuff. Curiosity - how long, in full, does it take to complete one of these mega-swarm kites of 15-18ish? Counting gathering the mobs and actually doing the kite, etc, it seems to take between 7-10 minutes. For killing 18 red/yellowish mobs, that's a very good rate [You must be logged in to view images.

It all depends how crowded it is. Usually I run from ~bridge/stables to splitpaw and then to aviaks. If its crowded though you have to try to get some roamers in the interim. The actual kite (excluding gathering) takes about 4-8 min depending how many resists you get with the red cons. So on average I would say on average about 15 min.

Where do the screenshots dump to? Im having problems finding the picture i took earlier today.

Swarm kited 12 Koholds in Steamfont at lvl5, wanted to post pic of it 8)

Only reason i wanted to post was somone told me last night after i died doing it, that it was impossible at lvl5 to do it, i wanted to show them its harder, but doable 8)

Awesome! Sometimes they aren't in the EQ folder, do a search over your system for "screenshots" Does the trick for me.

nice... i'd imagine it would be alot easier and faster at 8 though. can drum/lute swap to do more damage from discord

P99 is supposed to replicate EQlive.

Why not nerf necros because they can solo frenzy in guk and that's unfair ?

Infact, I hear the biggest problem now is enchanters being able to charm mobs in sky to easily take down bosses that were impossible back in the day on live. We are talking about fucking raid bosses here. Nerf enchanters !!!

I appreciate Haynar's efforts he has put into fixing bards but AoE kiting needs to be looked at. It was much easier to execute on live and some pulls are impossible here like kiting all of seafury island.

Newsflash - Bards should be way OP outdoors

Your entire post is a strawman - why do you assume that Bards are being nerfed on purpose? Things like run speed and large hitboxes are technical issues that affect everyone. Do you really think that the devs aren't actually looking into the issues people have posited? I wouldn't blame them if they just ignored you out of spite considering in every single one of your posts you whine about a class that you don't even play. Seriously.

Also, on another note, have you even been reading this thread? Can you seriously complain about a class that can kite 28 mobs at once, or that can take on the entire spectre island at once? Seriously? Seriously?!?

It's the internet. If someone's not complaining, theyre finding something to complain about.

I seriously believe it's why 75% of the people in R & F are there - unhealthy need for attention, to attack other people or to complain.

Some classes are more OP than others in certain situations. The ultimate goal is to replicate EQ live.

What if they removed harm shield from necros? Would your argument be "Can you seriously complain about a class that can solo frenzy, or that can fear kite the entire spectre island at once? Seriously? Seriously?!?"

TLDR : you are an idiot

Not as impressive as Nalkin doing 20+ mobs, but still the best I could do:
