This got me 1.25 blues in level 58. Not bad for one kite.

Good SSs, but come on, compared to the OT packs - it's weak. WTB 50+ kunark zone with all non-casting, non-summoning, small size, below lvl 50 mobs.

And then one misstep insta-kills you since the mobs in BW hit for 140 :P

.. and then the mob goes after whoever else the train went by before the bard died.

Well, most OT swarms I PL people off of contain about 40-60 mobs (others probably do more because they have stronger computers that don't crash as easily, and plus they swarm rhinos, which I avoid completely). The swarms from BW in my last screenshots contained about 30-40 mobs each, and I pretty much pulled every dark blue in the zone that wasn't a sarnak, a giant, or a wurm, in addition to some light blues. So yeah, it would be nice if there was a 50+ zone for AE kiting (especially since at 59, lots of this stuff goes light blue, but we get a new PBAE I think, so it kinda goes to waste), but I'm not complaining.

So does the lvl 18 dot have a larger range than the lvl 2 dot. Because I am having a hell of a time dotting the mobs I kite. Spent like 30 minutes today practicing and couldn't get a "winces" message at all even though I did everything Hmotzart was advising. I had the target circle in my lower right hand of the screen and yet it still wasn't hitting the mobs. Does anyone have any advice?

Yes it does. In fact when I have like 25 mobs and its very laggy and getting stunned once could insta-kill me I only use the level 18 dot until some mobs have died. You really have to be spot on to get that dot to stick, and it is tricky, so my advice is less mobs = less lag = more confidence.

I don't use Hmozarts method, I use the ol' mash turn key method. Using that method I have to spiral a little closer to get level 2 dot to stick, meaning pushing the key in for a little longer and making a tighter turn a second before the dot finishes singing.
