Bard AoE kiting screenshot thread!

When I am kiting, I will mouse drive and be kiting fine, suddenly my mouse spazzes out and cuts me directing inward towards the kite... Hmmm?

Thanks for all the info in this thread and other bard threads.

I've just gotten a good start at this. I started off messing around with 1-2 mobs in GFay, then moved on to LFay. Once I ran out of orcs to kill in LFay I went to FOB. Once the Pit went green in FOB ~20 I went to OT NE corner.

My record is in the last screen shot there - 52 exp mobs (there were a handful of other non exp mobs in that kite but that doesnt count now does it [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] )

P.S. The best thing ive found to reduce huge kite lag is shut off shadows. If you play with them on, shut them off before you kite - it saved me TONS of lag and I've been a lot more successful since.

This "P.S." helped me tremendously. I tried all the other "lower settings" options that others have suggested with minimal if any effect. As soon as I turned off shadows my lag significantly improved. Anyone who has other suggestions for kiting post them here!

So does anyone want to post their experiences with City of Mist? I'm loving kiting in OT, and looking forward to BW in a couple more levels (shout-out to Tuneyards for showing me the ropes!), but I'm always interested in a change of pace for a night or two.

Nice! Glad it helped someone else, I havent really seen it mentioned anywhere else, but it was a huge win for me - it was preventing me from doing pretty much anything over 20 mobs.

I did 100% of level 37 in 1 pull, and 100% of level 38 in another pull [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Level 39 was ~2 pulls, and now I'm 40. Leveling flies at this rate, my problem is time IRL.... I have none left to play as much as I would like.
