Default Video: Shows Mob Hit Range bug that prevents Bard AE kiting. Discuss.

Statement: Bards cannot AoE Kite multiple mobs by running really fast in circles and chaining PB AoE Songs.

Let me start by listing possible culprits:
- I am only level 9 (maybe it is easier/possible with a faster runspeed song)
- Ping and Internet connection cause discrepancies between client and server time/space
- Mobs seem to be far enough away yet still hit the bard (sometimes i'm like wth that orc isn't even in AoE DoT range yet he still hit me!) This seems like the biggest problem. Perhaps a video is needed to better explain myself. Have others noticed they take damage from mobs that are significantly out of melee range?!
- Mobs pathing seems to be different from live in a way that makes it easier for the mob to hit you sooner/more often.

Ok I don't mean for this to be a rant or flame at all. I would like to learn from well seasoned p99 bards/other classes as to how viable this time of bard kiting will be in later levels.

Edit: Here is the link to the video explaining the bug: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O34ewn5pGTs

Its 2 minutes long of me running in circles with mobs chasing me. If you don't want to watch it all, skip to 1:20. You can see me stop turning and autorun straight at 1:24 and at 1:26 the mobs line up directly behind me and the strike me even though they are so far away that they are almost out of view!
