3. I kept close track of the first level 50s on most servers and don't ever recall a bard being first. (was virtually always a necro or a druid, or something like a "guild cleric" being played 24-7 by 3-4 different people.)
4. The more knowledgeable bards did use a much more complicated way to get exp fast on a bard, which involved kiting 3-4 mobs and mixing up charming and having them beat each other, similar to how necro/enchanters charm-kill stuff. Why would they resort to this much more complicated scheme if they could simply swarm kite?

What server were you on and what was your character name then?

There wasn't many bards on Sol Ro I hardly remember any at all in the early days.

Also pre-Kunark bards hit a huge wall once they hit 25 or so not only do they fall off hard because there isn't many mobs to kite but it's ruff to get a group.

Bards can only really start kiting huge groups of mobs and keep leveling fast once Kunark comes out.

Can you find any pictures of a bard only kiting 4 mobs because I can't and for that matter I can't find any pictures of a bard kiting anything.
