I never played a Bard, but I assure you I watched (over his shoulder as he played) Enderii of Bristlebane learn to swarm kite with ... a lot of (I didn't count exactly how many) mobs in The Overthere, in 2001 or 2002. I was quite jealous [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I believe it was still in Velious, but it's possible it wasn't until Luclin (these are twenty-plus-year-old memories after all). Still, I don't think anything fundamentally changed between Velious and Luclin, to enable swarm kiting for non-AA characters (we must have been in our 20's-40's when this happened, so AAs weren't a factor).

P.S. And he just had a normal residential Internet connection (we lived off campus) ... I can't remember for sure, but it was almost certainly DSL.
