Bard advice

[Faerie]

Call me a purist, but if a vote is held I feel we should disclude anyone who did not play a bard in classic EQ on live. And swarm kiting is named as such because it's NPCs that are social with one another swarming on another NPC, not on you.

A key word being "social". AE kiting can be done with practically anything at once, but proper swarm kiting requires like-minded NPCs that assist one another.
