What level can bards begin swarming?

Zonais · #1 01-02-2019, 11:52 AM

Hello all,

I have a bard now and i was wondering at what level can i effectively begin swarm kiting for big chunks of xp?

Also, if anyone has a link to a *good* tutorial i would be grateful for that as well. I have looked online for some but they don't explain things that well.

Thanks in advance

level 5 I think?

Just need Selos and the AOE dot

Level 2. You dont need selos or sow to swarm.

It's not really worth it until level 18 AoE

Bard swarming is AIDS. RIP your fingers

As early as level 2. If you want to maintain your sanity(to some degree), and the health of your hands you'll wait until at least level 18 and have Jboots.

You can swarm at 2 easily. If you are in the commons, try to get a call of earth from a ranger and a natureskin from a druid for regen and hour long thorns. You can safely be hit at low level so swarming isn't needed to avoid mobs. At level 18 the 35 range denons allows for more normal swarming. I suggest halting swarming for highkeep from 25-30ish to max all your combat skills. At 40, get into COM to max all your skills again, most for life. Then when your 51 and caps lift, do a little of everything. Learn what other tricks you have up your sleeves.

get to 5ish like they say, its quick enough with some gear. Kite wisps in NK and collect the greater lightstones for xp + cash.

I have leveled 3 Bards with Swarm kiting.

I don't do it anymore because of nerf.

My route was something like:

NK, OT/Lake, FV/DL, BW

The nerf to number of mobs you can hit at one time? Isn't the xp of killing 20 things at once still worth it? Im legitimately asking.
