Bard AOE kiting from 53-60?

[Landael]

Lately I've seen alot of bards making 50+ climb in CoM.
Keep in mind tho prime time there are alot of Groups in there, and be sure to check with any other players in zone Before you pull and what is ok.
Also the 4 mob limit incase people decide you're hogging the mobs and wanna relieve you of some of them.

Saw a 50+ bard charm killing in bugs n bats in Sol B the other day, dunno really how viable that is but I remember bards used to charm kill alot more on live, just a thought something to try out maybe =)

AE kiting is not efficient past a certain point.. And honestly if by 53 you still aren't primarily grouping for your XP you should consider whether you actually enjoy playing a Bard at all.

Bit hard to know if you enjoy a toon when you went from Level 16 on April 25 to Level 53 in 11 days.

I have probably more play time on a bard than most people here. Duo mained a bard and monk on live pre kunark 1999 till gates of discord. But thats not relevant to the thread.

charm kiting is somewhat broken here

it still works but the way mobs assist is far less favorable then on live

i reported this long ago but bug wasn't adressed afaik

on live every mob on a certain faction will assist other mobs on that faction, on your pet, given that you only have proximity agro (not cast on / no throwing weaps etc)

here mobs don't automatically all assist their buddy on your pet, for some reason some but not all mobs gain PC prox agro which is higher then the amount of agro generated from a pet smashing another mob on their faction ..

sucks but what you gonna do right
