Bard Kiting Question

[Kraftwerk]

My first guess would be your laptop. I only play after 6PM EST and I regularly kite between 40-60 mobs with some lag, but not enough to prevent me from finishing my kite. Let me run through a list of things you can turn off to help reduce your lag:

- /hidecorpse all
- Sky Type - Off
- Show PC and NPC names Off
- Far Clip Plane ~10-25%
- All Particles Off completely
- Filter Damage Over Time : Hide
- Advanced: Shadows Off
- Advanced: Actor Clip Plane ~30-35%

This is what I do to help reduce lag, if any other Bards have tips add them on [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Thank you very much. I will try those out and hope for the best

Usually turn advanced lighting off, as well. Any auto-run anti-virus/spyware, large file traffic on PC/network, being on a wireless connection, etc.

And sometimes the powers just don't want you to kite. ISP might be choking due to volume, or anywhere between you and the server, etc.

This is a distinct possibility, if it appears to be time-sensitive.

Also "/shows off" turns of spell effects. Very effective at reducing strain on your connection.
