Mob Hit Range and Pathing prevent Bard AE kiting?

Mob run speed is increased slightly to the point where the only way to stay ahead, is to constantly strafe run, with a jump or two here and there.

You should watch the video I posted. I have sow, so runspeed is not the problem.

It's been explained to me that they do not want bards AE kiting mobs here. It is probably #500099999 on the list of things to look into. Look, if a bard could AE kite like they could on live, then the bards would not be grouping. On this server, soloing seems to be somewhat discouraged, so I wouldn't count on bards getting the same abilities like on live.
If the AE kiting nerf gets to you...Wait till you try charming without a metric asston of CHA.
Just keep getting groups as a bard and you will not miss the AE as much.

This server is huge why would they Nerf bards to force grouping? there are times when everything is camped and you have to wait for an xp group.

Maybe they will unnerf when Kunark comes out?

See, I don't get this. Why aren't the classic purists in an uproar over it? Anytime anything is up for debate it seems to always come back to "THIS IS HOW IT WAS IN CLASSIC, PERIOD."
