I opt out of switching instruments and just use denons as bonus damage. If you aren't hitting most or all of the mobs In your kite you need to circle them tighter before you start doing damage. Fv is a great place to practice because they are all the same mob type. They should literally look like 1 mob when you have them stacked correctly. Hopefully this helps.

I did 7-14 the willowisp around the Gypsy Camp in NK (#6 on http://wiki.project1999.com/Northern_Plains_of_Karana) and it's good xp and pp for a naked bard like me.
Where can I go now, is OT too high ?

Need 18 and denons for OT which is good until about 25. I did gnolls in ek till around 19ish then left for OT.

omg, I've been pwned by Splintered Claw
on a side note, is it normal or a bug you think that when kiting gnoll reaver and night falls, they reset except 2 and pop on their normal spawn points as undead reavers ? I had aggro on all, happened twice

Yes, this happens. I never kited the gnolls. I did wolves in EK with selo's. Good exp and none of that.

same strafing teching with selo on ?

Is there any benefit to using selo's as opposed to the no selo's method? The latter seems immensely easier.

Not that I can think of unless you're trying to kite mobs that run faster than normal run speed. It's easier to do circles without selos because you don't have to move the mouse as much.
