Is that true that the speed buff throws it off?? I parked the bard and gave up for now, figuring my poor internet is going to prevent me from being a decent swarm kiter.. Usually sitting at 1000ms

No, because theres several different ways to do AE kites (also, don't take advice from anyone who calls it "swarm" kiting).
Non speed buff strafe. SoW Jboots Sow / JBoots with a specific weight to get a specific speed Selos Speed buff strafe Speed buff oval Speed buff tap circle Speed buff random pattern n shit Everyone has their preferred pattern that works for them. I like tap circles myself. Many others do strafe. w/e | ||

Bards are not a min/max class. Not sure why what I am posting here is controversial. Bards utility falls off hard due to song level restrictions in the higher levels. If you want to run in circles on the verge of death for hours at a time I am sure Bard is a fine class to play.

When I kite, I put my camera over my character's head (like a top-down view) as I am casting the DOT. You will be able to see the monsters in the corner of your screen earlier (before they are even in range of the level 2 dot). When there's around 1/3 to 1/2 of the casting time remaining on the song, I begin turning into the mobs. The mobs start at the edge of the screen and end up a bit closer, just as the song finishes. If I run out of range of motion in my wrist before the song finishes it usually means the song will miss because as long as you're not turning you're getting further away from the monsters. | |||

Bards make great tanks, same defensive table as warriors, unlike rangers... In fact, unless I'm killing something that needs defensive, I'd take a bard tank over an equal level warrior tank every time in an exp grind. The only caveat is the bard has to know what they are doing. Where as warriors just have to hit there target key, attack, and taunt every so often [You must be logged in to view images.
