Nerf bard kiting...

[dafier]

I agree with Daldaen.

I do not mean to bash or put down the OP with my first post, but ya. This doesn't belong in Server Chat.

This horse has literally been dead for years.

Bards have many skills and abilities to offer a group.. they can mez, they can pull, they can tank, they can offer stackable mana regen.. the list goes on.. but no.. people just use a dot with a horn instrument to level quickly.. this wasn't what devs made bards for.. to solo a whole zone. Remove bard pbaoe dot songs and replace with DD songs. Problem with overpowerdness solved.

Pre-xp penalty removal... Would you invite an epic monk with 300k in gear to your low 50s group or would you invite a bard?

The first time you see a Chardok AoE you are going to sh!t your pants if you think Bard swarm kiting is ridiculous. Its honestly border line exploiting. We are beyond the point of no return my brother.

While I agree bard kiting and chardok ae are both incredibly dumb and not classic (maybe doable in classic but nobody did it) like others have said we're beyond the point of no return. It really is too late to do anything about it. I don't know how the Chardok revamp will affect the ae groups. Will chardok ae still be possible after revamp? Maybe that one will go away if so.

Bard kiting is sadly here to stay.

I and every bard I knew did it on classic. It only got more pronounced in PoP and LoY but yeah, this shit was happening on the reg. Just ask the bard for an invite if he's taking all your precious mobs. It's not like he's going to be there longer than a day anyway.

How would you stop it, if you could?
