Also, swarm kiting was more popular because it was a whole lot safer

That first post is almost offensive. I always used a fixed floating f9 camera position and just tapped d over and over as I kited.

Right - but it's certainly harder to judge distance than noise. If one of those senses are removed, I guarantee bards will be frantically trying to determine noise and not die. I don't know how others kite, but sight and sound play a crucial part in my ability to kite.
I never saw the mobs when I kited. With tapping method you can adjust circles slowly until you are in range to land songs but not get hit. You also get the hang of it so you can adjust circle-size quickly. Seeing mobs is not a requirement to do this easily. I also do not change my camera or strafe when doing this (I do not use the mouse at all, just autorun and tap turn button with one hand and songs on numpad with the other).

I kited all the way to 54 on a bard, I never used strafe hotkeys (I still dont to this day), always key tap'd to keep my radius where i wanted it. I was always in 3rd person, and F9 would work fine for it.

One reason kiting is so difficult here, compared to live, is how far out a mob can hit you when you're running straight ahead / away from them. Its not the same as live was. Kiting on live was much easier.

Well I never made it to 55 sad to say, but Tapping was the only way I knew how to do it back then. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] I bet I was not alone.
