Bard swarm kiting is fine. Definitely nerf aggro kiting, that is very overpowered. As Bardalicious stated, on a highly populated server, you get shiiiit on swarm kiting. Not to mention the lvl 2 AE is so flippin short range, the bard is so close to the train that if you disrupt him in the smallest way he has a high chance to die. Now the xp is great if you can have a group protect the bard, but with the newfound xp bonus, I think most people will be able to focus on grouping and actually lvling rather than afking while a bard swarms. Before the xp was so bad it wasn't worth it to group in dungeons (non kiting). To fix this just keep focusing on dungeon bonuses, like Unrest's bonus, and you will surely counter the bard kiting IMO. Overall, bard is king of solo xp, can't handicap that bros. ALSO, fix charm kiting.

No way Darksinga, all us bards are gonna ding level 60 by kiting in Eastern and Southern Karanas within 6 hours of the server being released duhhhh. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I'm pretty sure Syft or Tyva one F'ed me several times when I was low hp kiting in DL. Yeah its over powered but one root or snare and its game over instantly. Also, AoE kiting wasn't nerfed on live until shortly after LoY expansion, so if we follow the classic timetable I think we'll be ok, and on live it was also nerfed far beyond just 4 mobs.. Your AoE DoT song on live will not hit mobs if you are moving, effectively killing ALL AoE swarming.

Lol bard kiting really got out of hand, and led to eventual nerf, with the release of LoY, a decent skilled bard could solo pull entire Dulak's Harbor zone, it was good AA xp, but TONS of money back then in gem drops.. you could easily pull 200 mobs and warp the zone..

I've heard an awful rumor that players can gain experience via the killing of mobs on p99. I hope this exploitive feature is removed ASAP for the good and health of the server.

Doesn't matter this go round. Here cometh the Erudite Paladin for me, gonna be rollin' through hoods.

Everyday I see a group with Bard AE kiting, pwrlvling noobs up to 50 range, which is fine on red99. But on new server none of this BS should go down, they nerfed bard AE's to 4 targets on live because of this nonsense.

I don't want to see anyone on teams ding 20 lvls a day because they had a bard friend. Bard's can solo lvl with swarming just fine, but I don't wanna see neckbeards with 7 alt's lvl 40 day one because they happened to roll a bard.

and YES I am here to shit in everyone's cool-aid!

so its okay for bards to take up all mobs and bard kite to 60 but if they have friends in group its wrong? or you talking about low health agro kiting?

Talking about low kit argo, and like I said earlier idc about it on red99 but allowing it to happen on launch of teams99 gonna be a serious problem.

not many zones like that in classic, the karanas maybe lol and some dwarves in BB.
