Bard kiting the whole of field of bone...

I thought those nerfs were to make the game classic? Nerfing bards wouldn't be the same.

Bards can suck a dick. That is all.

Not all of them but they do all blow the flute....

Bards tend to lock 30 mobs down for at least 2, if not 3 spawn cycles in areas that are 7-8 min repops. Preventing 4-5 other solo classes from getting 10-15 kills each (who would be doing 5-6 mobs per cycle) in that same amount of time.

So yeah, they piss people off because they kill 30 mobs in the time that others could have killed 40-60.

I played a Bard on Live to very high levels. AOE Kiting in high populated (populated by PCs killing) areas is asshattery at the highest order. I never did that. I always picked places out of the way.

It is difficult at times to find places to AOE kite, non casting mobs, which are what Bards are after.

You don't see me complaining when I see a Shaman or an SK camping seafuries, when I kill the mobs much faster. And besides, it shouldn't take three spawn cycles for a Bard to aoe kite 30 mobs.

The bard definitely wasn't getting xp from the mobs he was killing, nor was he targeting any specific mob type. He wasn't farming for bone chips; he was simply running around with a billion mobs hitting him, sometimes letting them beat on him for a few moments. I followed him around for a couple minutes, and he didn't cast one DoT AoE, and he had well over 40+ mobs nicely clustered for kiting . . .he just never started hitting them.


Epicly is a piece of shit, but then again, it's not difficult to simply move to another area, or log for a while.

[Taryth]

Poorly worded- meant he wasn't getting xp because he was too high lvl anyway.

Dear Taryth,

40 mobs is a bit of an exaggeration, I would say the number sat around 20 on most pulls. I was powerlevelling 7 people today, but I suppose it was only 2-3 yesterday. If you'd like to join in sometime, just send me a tell, and you're absolutely welcome to take down a mob that will stay aggro locked to me because of my aoe-slow anyways. There's little I'd be able to do to stop you even if I wanted to.

You COULD send me a tell, even express dissatisfaction in /ooc so we can work something out as far as pull areas are concerned...

OR

You could be more passive-aggresive than an EC trader and call me a piece of shit on the boards because I made you run 30 feet further to make your next pull.

Have a nice day!

P.S. Bard pullers die when you don't buff them post-rez, homes. I took those Drolvarg/Wraith Rapes like a man, regardless, don't be frontin'.

Strike a nerve, did I? I honestly didn't think the post was that big of a deal, not enough to warrant it as passive aggressive behavior. I stated at the end, in the very sentence I called you a piece of shit, that avoiding the issue was of little inconvenience . . .you may want to respond to the OP, though, as he seemed genuinely upset [You must be logged in to view images.
