Playing a bard without kiting.

[falkun]

Cobzar hit the nail on the head. Try it all, but bard solo that is not PBAOE kiting usually ends up chant/snare traditional kiting or fear kiting with either melee or chants. You don't want mobs hitting you, you cannot take a hit like a tank and you cannot deliver them like a monk/rogue. But grouping should be the mainstay of a non-PBAOE bard.
