BEST SCREENSHOT EVER

I'd really like some help learning how to do this if someone has time. I can Bard with the best of them in a group but I'm a noob at kiting.

someone PM me or find me in game and walk me through this please. I can't get the running in circles thing right. i always turn to sharp.

Oh and this was after the 100% xp bonus.

Well Nalkin, either you didn't pull enough mobs, or OT starts tapering off around 46. I believe moreso in the latter, which is one of many reasons why I've hung up my AE kiting hat for a while.

Not really.

Yeah I keysteer like Giegue does. Mouse steering gets me killed. The ONLY thing I use my mouse for while aoe kiting is switching instruments. If you time your taps right you can key steer fine. There's actually a bit of a rythm to it, go figure!

doesn't help me and I've got no PMs
meanwhile I lost all the xp i make when I do get groups (rare) trying to learn how to do this. I've redinged 15 twelve times now.

practice on one mob at a time... then once you have it down flawlessly, you can add in more mobs.

Pro-tip: NumLock is your friend.

Honestly I'd wait till 18 as denon's is much better range. Learn with that get use to it's range then start working on closing ti down a little bit for dissonance.

I numlock then tap my left key turning. Really it's more of pulling my finger off it shortly than pushing it in as i spend more time with it down than up.

Also I use SoW to kite not selo's, with selos I will do denon's, selos, chords, selos, with sow I can just do denon's, chords and rotate em to make sure all mobs have it on them at all times, makes the kites much faster and can also slip in regen if i need to if I get hit. A

lso when practicing use 1 mob, when comfortable go to 2, then 3. That's what I did when relearning it last week did 1 gorge hound, then 2, then 3, then pulled 25 mobs lol. Started may 5th and up to 39 now =).
