at what lvl can bards start to kite?

Level 8 (when you're able to start training stringed instruments) or level 18 (when you get the longer range pbae), depends how boss you are.

Technically you can start at level 2 if someone sows you and level 5 independently.

Right but it's unbelievably slow without instrument modifiers. Also, grats on level 50.

Faster than regular if you take a lot of mobs.

It's not horrible - it's actually faster than normal leveling if you're untwinked but are pretty decent at kiting - I cut my teeth doing all the orcs I could find in gfay (and prayed I didn't pull a caster), since I could kite them near the guards if things went awry.

Also, since you're not doing instrument switches, it's a good way to isolate your timing and practice just that [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

But yeah, if you have weapons better than fine steel quality, it's probably faster to just mix songs and beat stuff up.

In case anyone cares, this is also a very good leveling method on the new VZTZ server (even though runspeed + instruments are ridiculously broken on that server)
