Bard AoE kiting How-to & Screenshots

[maestrom]

Don't tell anyone! if I could ever find gnolls uncamped I would have no problem staying in SK till low 30's. I really don't like OT, maybe it'll be better though after 30. Is there any place to bind close to OT or are us bards stuck in FV? The worst part of dying is having to run back :P


As for the corpses.... If you don't die a few times you aren't taking big enough risks [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Test your faction with the outpost in OT with your DE mask up. U can bank there if u haven't ruined your faction yet. Also you can bind right outside the wall of the outpost by the water. just remember to not rush into the outpost without your de mask up.

Ditto

I came to OT at 29, and it has been nasty. For some reason, I am a little bit laggy there and have gotten popped a few times. I am going to come back to SK and go at it until it all greens and/or I get my frickin Quillmane cloak.

Also, bard brethren, we need to have a "Who kited the biggest" Contest. I pulled 50+ mobs in SK one night at 3 am when there was only me and one other character in the zone. The problem with SK, is it is limited on the number of spawns, and it takes like 20 minutes to grab them all. I want to see someone go for the gold with all the mobs in OT.

I soloed mine at 47.

My method:

1. Take Upper Guk to location #4: zone to LGuk Live Side.
2. In LGuk live side, invis song to Dead Side in NE corner of live LGuk map.
3. You will arrive in LGuk dead side at location #12, the gargoyles.
4. Either lull passed the gargoyles or kill them. Clear the area by DoT tanking (lute/hymn, drum/slow+3dots -- 5 song twist). Lull to ensure you are only pulling 1 garg at a time. Killing them is safer and a piece for the lambent BP will probably drop if you don't have that already.
5. Head east out on the bridge. Lull any blue/LB frogs on the Ritualist ledge (location #13 on dead LGuk map). Be careful of the 2 frogs guarding the north side of the bridge, you might consider lulling them as well.
6. Turn south at the fork in the bridge towards Ass/Sup room (location #14).
7. In the tunnel area between the bridge and the ladder up to ass/sup, kill any frogs there via the DoT tanking mentioned above.
8. Use neat camera tricks to work a camera view up into Ass/Sup without you getting into LOS for aggro. Lull the frogs and pull down the left spawn. DoT tank it in the hallway you just cleared.
9. Repeat the lull/pull with the back, and then the right spawn.
10. Just south of the ladder to ass/sup, there is a small alcove. This alcove is 100% safe to sit/regen/camp in.
11. The respawn time is 28min. If you get bored/want a bit of exp, go downstairs from the ass/sup by taking the ramp to Lvl2 on the dead LGuk map. Down there, find a single spawn/patrol and DoT tank it in a safe location.

For the camp, I would keep the hallway south of the bridge cleared and then kite (yes kite without selos, you are snaring, right?) the ass/sup room mobs down there. You will get hit less and there is only 1 pat there for you to take care of. I believe its 5 mobs: 1 static in the hallway, 1 patrol in the hallway, left-ass (always trash), back-ass (supplier or PH), and right-ass (assassin or PH).

My song line-up for DoT tanking was:

1. Invis
2. Hymn
3. DoT1
4. DoT2
5. DoT3
6. Slow/Snare
7. Lull/pacify
8. Mez

Also, hide/sneak work down here, so practice those if you haven't been already. It's nice to know I'm invis to undead when I go afk during this camp.
