Playing a bard without kiting.

I'd also like to add:

Charm Swarming:
Required songs: charm, selo's, invis, chants
Basically if you are in an area with a bunch of similar mobs you charm one from the pack and send it to fight the rest of the pack. They destroy your charmed pets HP so fast you break invis and then finish it off with selo's and chants. Rinse and repeat. Make sure to not do anything to any other mobs except aggro by proximity or mob assist. Not sure how relevant this strategy is on this server but it worked decently for me on live during the PoP era. I'm aware charms cost mana so it may not work out great. I used this strat at the werewolf camp in Plane of Nightmare. Best charm break item for this is Goblin Gazughi ring.
