Bard Swarming on Green

[Ahris]

Charm kiting was a thing in 1999 but swarm kiting wasn't. Bards were uncommon because of their group dependancy, xp penalty and technical difficulty; song macros were not a thing in classic eq.

I don't believe many people knew, or even cared, about the experience penalty for hybrids back in 99, nor do I think anyone cared about group dependency. I think Bard was unpopular at launch because there was never, and still has never been, a class in an MMORPG quite like it. It was new and no one understood it yet.

The xp penalty was well known and i have a pretty good idea of how bards were regarded, i played as one 20 years ago so my post wasn't speculative. Thats how it was. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Some live servers called mass aoe kiting, swarming. Which is why I think people are torn on it. Tunare called charm killing for bards.. charm killing. Sold a bard on Tunare for $500. Ppl loved them during PoP.

Who else gets triggered when people call AOE kiting swarming?

Me, took me 2 days to look at this post again just by principle.
