Hi All - I'm new to the bard, not to EQ though.

I've recently picked up a bard and am currently level 9. I'm in NK and want to try swarm kiting, if for no other reason than I've never done it before.

However, I'm finding that SOME of the mobs there have SoW. For instance - I pulled 5 or so grizzly bears and the last one I grabbed was keeping perfect pace with my Selo's.

So my question is really two fold I suppose: What do you do if you've got a swarm gathered (I know, 5 isn't really a swarm, I'm testing) and ONE mobs is crazy fast? Also, is swarm kiting really all that? I kind of like the onesie twosie kills I can easily manage w/ my songs.

Thoughts / input appreciated.

Thanks - Panda

1.) If you pick up something in your swarm that's going to be a problem, zone and reset.

2.) Swarm kiting is absolutely "all that". However, it can be stressful and get tiring. I definitely take breaks on my bard to do slower fear kiting or charm soloing. Still good XP and it's much more leisurely.
