I haven't seen a thread like this in a while!

Delete this thread please. Weekends and holidays are reserved for "what is the best duo?" and "how can I play with my roommate?" threads. "Nerf bard kiting" threads are weekdays only. And ya, fuck bards.

Meh, I wish they'd remove "swarm"/AE kiting just so bards would have to group. Might have been "classic" the same way item recharging was. I know on my server bards didn't start AE kiting until PoP.

Its a shame, Bards are one of The unique defining aspects of EQ, but here they're usually antisocial and/or pissy because everyone complains when they see one in their zone.

OT/Loio are great zones for any (lazy) kiting class. Plus, surely to god, people get tired of hitting the same ZEM hotzones every toon. How many times can you run CB->Unrest->MM->CoM anyways?

I've gotten the "Go fuck yourself I've been here X hours" just as often as the "Sure tag off me."

The problem for me is who the hell wants to wait 20 minutes for a bard to finish a kite Plus respawn time? Aint got time for that.

Most bards hate swarm kiting and would love to group. But when you don't get a group what are you gonna do wait around or head over to OT to do a swarm and get a good chunk of exp. Also its a great way to skip hell levels so when your grouping you might actually see your exp bar move.

As for bards didn't start AE kiting until PoP on your server is just crazy.

From your PNP:

Causing Experience Loss.

Intentionally causing experience-loss to other players in the PvP environment is illegal in all cases and may result in disciplinary action when witnessed by a P99CSR. This includes things such as intentionally training NPCs. We do understand that there are cases where the experience-loss is unintentional, and no disciplinary action will be taken in those cases.

Wouldn't this be a case of intentionally causing EXP loss? I mean rooting a bard would be guaranteed EXP loss since the goal would be allowing his train to catch up with him?

That being said, does Selos correctly overwrite Root when already active like in classic? Or does Red not have that classic functionality?
