Swarm Kiting

I am new to this swarm kiting and have watched a few videos. Seems like the range is a lot shorter than the video I found here:

Also, when I auto run and just try to turn/strafe with the mouse only, it turns very slow. What Am I doing wrong?

Practice with 4-5 mobs that you can easily take a beating from. When you are able to take out those 4-5 without getting hit, easily, then go out and grab 25 mobs and do the same thing.

If you are having a lot of trouble with the range, just stick with the level 18 song that has an extended 5 yard range and take 2x longer to kill everything. Most of your time kiting is spent gathering the mobs anyway.

Sometimes I can do it without getting hit, but sometimes I get hit. I am using the lv 18 song with the horn but it still seems like it has the same range as the low level one. I guess practice makes perfect. Oh and I am lv 19 now lol!

Then what does this make you, since you died over 75 times?

Lazor does have a good memory. Excerpt of the last paragraph from Cast's first to level 50 novel...

I do think its funny that anyone would try bragging about their snail-pace, poopsock necessary leveling to 50 after I didn't play for over 3 days straight, another 1-2 stint, had pretty much leveled the two highest level characters on the server L28/9+L25, did it all solo (well reverse-solo considering the above), vs..
