petition bard swarming?

[Potus]

Swarm kiting is charming a mob and having a group of mobs attack it. Doesn't work here.

AE Kiting is running in a circle while your songs do damage.

Where did people start calling AE kiting Swarm Kiting? Like what thread started this, so I can go yell at said person.

It happened quite some time ago when people starting making guides on how to "Swarm kite on p99" and it just went from there.

It doesn't help that regardless of the type of killing, we call the mass of mobs that follow these guys around a "swarm".

For giggles you guys need to fix mob aggro so original swarm kiting can become possible. I want to see what people call it. The linguist in me is super curious as to what it'll be branded.

Ironically, they'll probably call it aggro kiting, which is again an entirely different thing.

I don't know, do I need to get technical? I've never played a bard in 15 years of EQ, and never plan to. He was kiting. It was a swarm of mobs. I don't know the mechanics at all, other than he was pulling everything from everyone in the zone and killing it all. And seemed like for giggles. Looked very much like he was tracking players to do it as well. Can't tell you much beyond that I'm afraid. I know his tracking is better than druid and worse than ranger, if that helps.
