Bard AoE kiting screenshot thread! - Page 7

anybody have any SS of upper-levels (40-60) AoE kiting in kunark yet? So far I've been crashing in OT everytime I land chords on like 50-100+ mobs.

Although it may not be as cool as kiting spectres, giants or aviaks, here's a screenshot my bard in North Karana after kiting 16 Willowisps. Since last weekends updates, Bellowing on reds hasn't been an option with the 30 second cooldown so I've been AE kiting dark blues. Damn! Why have I not done this before?!

I went from 12 to 17 here AE kiting Willowisps. The xp is pretty good if you turn in the stones at the gypsy camp. Looking forward to my next level when I get Denon's Disruptive Discord. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I usually use WASD to run and circles and I click to dot and switch instruments. Hand used to start to cramp after a couple hours so I'd take a break and then come back to it.

Sounds so simple after somebody told me about it, and with the Vert UI the instrument/secondary slots are right next to the spell hotkeys too. Time to go play in LOIO!

Funny, I stumbled upon this thread doing a google search for killer bard kiting areas. I didn't intend on being in the run for a record, but here's my score. I had just turned 20 and hit EK to get on the grind. the hounds, stalkers, Griffs were DB, and the spiders were even con. I really don't remember how many there were.

There was a couple corpses that vanished due to no loot, before the SS was taken.

Found best spot in OT. Flat. No roaming mobs. Tried it out on beta. Made it from 36-39 in one kite (mind you it's 500% xp on beta, but still, that's 60% on live). One kite takes may be 20 or so mins. That includes gathering mobs (there are a shit ton in OT)

Why do you weigh yourself down. Is that for better speed management?

yes. I don't think everyone does it that way, but I find it easier.

Yup, I actually do a similar thing. I prefer to use selos without a drum when I'm doing it.
