Ya, I've seen you do some damn impressive aviak kites Tamborine.

I'd love to learn to swarm kite like this. I am level 17 now, and am wondering what the correct songs are to use for swarm kiting. I do not even know the basics, to be honest. Do you cycle your targets and re-cast the DoT, while also twisting in selos? I don't mean to hijack the thread but if anybody has any tips I am all ears!

The magic isn't what songs you twist (Chords of Dissonance, Denon's Disruptive Discord, and Selo's) Its the positioning of your character

Since the mobs are always heading directly towards you if you have a faster run speed you can run a circle around them of a specific size that keeps you just out of melee but in song range. Finding that sweet spot though is rather difficult and as stated a tiny bit of lag means you die in addition to things taking 15 minutes to finish.

Personally though I feel that if you're gonna AE kite you should pull a lot more mobs than this. You're dead if you get in melee range anyway and the time is the same regardless. I would have added in all the gnoll spawns, centaurs, etc. Anything that doesn't cast spells.

Well, as you said above, you don't want to pull so many that you create video lag and die. I would think that there's probably an upper limit related to the power of his graphics card.
