AoE kiting spots for a 50 Bard on Kunark?

Lazortag · #1 12-05-2010, 01:17 PM

Hi, on the test server I'd like to level back to 51 semi-quickly, but I can't find a good aoe kiting spot. The guards in FoB are way too strong and resist everything, and in Dreadlands I always get aggroed by spiders who slow me (if you know of an area in DL with no spiders at all, then that works too). Of the zones that are open currently (West Cabilis, East Cabilis, Field of Bone, Kurn's Tower, Firiona Vie, Lake of Ill Omen, Warsliks Woods, Dreadlands, Temple of Droga, Swamp of no Hope, Kaesora), can anyone suggest a good aoe kiting spot? Keep in mind the mobs probably shouldn't be giant, they shouldn't be able to cast, and they should be blue to a level 50 (so level 37+ I think).

Thanks, and also thanks to the devs again, I'm having a blast as I'm sure everyone else is.

Well, when they open up the Overthere you should have plenty of mobs o_O

Where on these maps are the guards?

I'll check later today when I'm done this god-awful essay.

also, does anyone know if there's any spot in Dreadlands where no spiders path? The mobs in dreadlands are perfect for aoe kiting but the casters are awful

None of these places listed are amazing at level 50. Of the zones opened DL is prolly the best bet.

Burning Woods is decent
Dreadlands is decent

Seafuries are still the best option imo though. As far as exp goes

problem is, if I'm killing seafuries I'd rather just be doing it on the regular server - that way I get to keep the money.

I'll try and find a spot in dreadlands without casters I guess. Oh well.

Thats why a GM should boost 1 person to each level test if you are gaining experience at level 5X and repeat up to 60. If the experience gaining is fine just make those who ask to be 60 level 60 so they can test stuff with greater ease.

I was under the impression that come Kunark, swarm kiting was the only real fast exp for bard?

I know it's not possible for us here, but it's just what I remember form playing bard on live.

Then again, I wasn't the best bard out there either.

The bolded part, you're wrong. Check others posts about it. Use search to find a few pictures / guides to doing it on P99
