Noticed the other day that sol A and guk top have become new spots for bard Pling.

Gotta hit those high ZEM zones. Ive been using those for years

Another thing is, when I kite on my bard I have absolutely no problem with people picking a mob or two off my pack.

Absolutely. I even have a macro made that I edit for whatever zone in in that lets everyone know I'm about to make a monster pull and if they want to pull a few mobs out of my kite I'm fine with that.
In fact most bards have no problem with this and will either do that or group with you and let you soak up XP for free. But unfortunately for the op, you have to actually communicate with them and not just walk into a zone and act like you already owned all the mobs you wanted simply for showing up.

Social Argo changes a few months back made it where mobs will stick around if friendly mobs are nearby. This opened up a lot more for bard PLs.

I'm not sure what happens when a bard tries to low hp kite these days, but I hear it isn't good.

And finally, if a bard is solo kitting and people start getting angry in the zone, it simply reinforces that they are doing it right (mid 30s bards can ding twice in a single pull in OT). HOWEVER, if the bard continues to be a pain in the ass, just get a Druid to cast a bunch of long duration snares on the kite, and then sit back and laugh.

If you're not getting hate tells then you're not PLing right.

Which the bard can overwrite with his short snare and wonder why the druid is wasting mana.

Ya, the bard can overwrite it, but it can be a huge pain in the ass when solo kiting.

Press 2. K done.

I'm not talking abt during the pulling part, of course it's easy to overwrite a druid snare when running all over the zone.

I'm talking about when the solo strafe kiting/killing begins. If they land a few snares and spread the mobs out, the bard has to quit kiting for a minute to overwrite the snares, regather the mobs, and then setup for the killing again. It can slow a bard way down, especially if you catch em unaware.

Move to another area. K done.
