His link about the bard kiting story is legit though. The bard says all his targets were below half so that sounds like it was hitting all six targets at once.
But it's not, really. You'd have to scroll around on your ui back then to even determine you hit more than 4 enemies. You'd just see damage spam fill up your Ui and think you must be hitting everything. if you have a group of 8 balled up and they all are exactly the same speed you will end up spreading the damage around to all of them generally equally. Notice how he one of the other guys in those comments says "he usually does 4"? That's because beyond 4 you are going to start to have more mobs living longer after some started to die off earlier due to RNG. Those guys then think that beyond 4 is a problem because the enemies are not being "balled up correctly". All they are seeing is that their actual AoE cap was only 4 mobs and trying to make "logical" sense of it their poorer kite time/mob hit point differences.
