Swarmming in Velious
 
Hello p99'ers, I don't really have any experience in Velious....Anyone know if theres any sweet spots for some swarm kiting in the new continent? Obviously somewhere that has higher lvl mobs than the ones in OT. Any feedback will help greatly. Thanks!

Western Wastes has some great space.
Start pulling from the 2nd canyon.
Should be great XP.

I remembered that on live, but when I came here I was confused. I went with it, because that's what everyone refers to here. I guess only scrubs call it swarm kiting. The ones that only AOE and are terrible at their Bard in every other situation.

Would you mind expanding on that? I'm starting a bard soon and I thought that was how you killed multiple mobs while kiting? AoE?

AoE kiting is what everyone for some reason calls swarm kiting/swarming on this server. AoE kiting is when you run around in a circle while do your AoE song that hits all the mobs.

Swarming is actually when you gather up a bunch of similar faction mobs, charm one, and then send it into the pile which draws aggro from all the mobs on the same faction. A mob can be beaten down super fast this way. Before the pet is killed by the swarm of mobs, the bard breaks the charm and then dots the low-hp mob to death. The pile of mobs "swarm" the charmed pet; hence this is called swarm kiting.

And this is much better experience? Good to know for later levels.

So why doesn't swarm kiting work here? Sounds like that would be fun.

It sort of works here. I don't know on live if you needed similar faction mobs. Here you do.
