Default Bard swarm kiting or zone disruption?

Is it even allowed to use add-ons to run in perfect circles?

If a bard has pulled 30+ drolvargs near the cliffs in FV and is obviously not controlling his running in perfect circles, should this be reported as zone disruption?

Yes, I know that there are a lot more than 30 drolvargs to choose from in the zone, but they're definitely taking all of the easily pulled mobs for themself.

Would post screenshots, but don't know how to upload images...

as far as 30+ ... that's just bein a dick. bard swarming is a thing, yes - but you can only hit 25 at a time with pbae spells. so going over 25 is gluttonous, especially in a full zone (i'm lookin at you, City of Mist)

idk at this point in the lifecycle of Project 1999 anything goes pretty much, good luck out there

I believe if it's over 25 mobs you're allowed to pull off their kite aren't you?

Also not sure how you would know they were using an add on. It's pretty easy to run in perfect circles to keep the mobs bunched up. Ever quad kited?

To be fair, bards do seem to always be running in perfect circles in a way druids and wizards do not. It literally looks like they're just holding down forward and right\left the entire time.

Also sidebar: running in a circle is not the best way to bunch up a quad, because the four mobs come from random directions based on where you pulled them from. Better to run backward and angle\strafe as necessary to get the farthest out ones closer to the rest.

The zone has over 100+ mobs. Are you just jealous the guy is killing 30 mobs and not inviting you? The pirates have 1/3 of the hp as the dogs do anyway

If you had reading comprehension you would be able to understand the sentence where he said his complaint is around taking all the easily pullable mobs by the cliffs, which IMO is a fair point since all the wanderers can be freaking annoying if you have to pull back to the cliffs from deeper in the trees.
