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.

Epicy died 5 times pulling for my LCY group in less than an hour.

The world of Norrath is very large. If you find that Bards are (legitimately) locking down a zone, you could try a different one, or just play a Bard. They shouldn't be taking an age to kill those mobs either - in fact in all of my experiences, even if you account for the time it takes to pull them, a normal group of mobs being aoe kited takes less time per kill than most pet classes soloing and probably most groups. Feel free to conveniently ignore this in your next post however.

gtfo, all bards are douchebags except for Xantarr. WRU?????

oh and Tokum!
