Bard swarm kiting that kills other players

[musashi1612]

I played a bard for 7 years on live and i will tell you this next the the cramps in my hands and the cricks in my neck Bards are ok one very big difference is the AoE kiting Vs Swarm kiting. Swarm Kiting has always been a safer method to kiting for the bard and others. AoE kiting has the chance to backfire and erupt into zone wide panic. Maybe it shouldnt be Bard AoE kiting kills other players,Yet Bard swarm kiting does not work right? the charm is ineffective at generating the agro needed to perform the higher lvl bard kiting it does need to be fixed it is classic.

Correct, what people refer to commonly as "swarm" on this server is what I knew as AOE kiting, and what I personally call swarm kiting (get a swarm of mobs, charm one, sic it on something, have them beat it down, break charm, kill it, repeat) doesn't work as well on this server. You can still mess with it and get some work done, but not enough. Needs fixing.

true. but one of the of the things that always intrigued me about EQ (more so than other MMOs) is that certain real life personalities are drawn to certain classes in game. Bards have always seemed to be packed with a certain stereo-typically "bard" personality. Its not necessarily just negative either.

I seem to remember on live that most Bards were women. Same with Cleric's. Hardly evil people.

But yeah, most Bards on here seem to be men for some reason. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Are you trying to say women aren't evil? WHO IS THIS GUY!?

from my time on live, i always used swarm kiting to refer to the charm killing (charm one, let stuff beat it down, break charm a 1%, etc) also (I played on Povar and Xev).

not sure if it was different on all live servers or if it is only different here.

No, the same. It's here that people call AoE kiting "swarm kiting" for some reason.

the fact is that at higher lvls bards would swarm kite instead of AoE kiting it was safer and more effective imo

Boy if only there was some way to deal with players who bother you in game, say like by rooting them or killing them, if only!

Man, if only there was some way to deal with trolls from Red posting irrelevant bullshit into threads like this. Oh wai-
