Bard AoE spots

[Kafter]

Been searching around forums and wiki site looking for suggested areas for bard AoE kiting. I pretty much have it down and would like to explore some other areas. Right now im level 21 and was kiting skeles in Lake of ill omen but they end up being green or high red. Any ideas? id like to know a few spots that will take me up to 30s and 40s as well if anyone knows.

Levels 18 - 24 : East Karana, everything in zone is great
Levels 24 - 30/31/32 : South Karana, everything in zone that doesn't cast which is nearly everything. It gets harder to push to 32, but well worth for the next hot spot.
Levels 32-48/49/50 : Overthere, Eastern/Southern side. Loved this zone, it is a major Bard kiting hot spot. Exp slows down a bit at 47 but still amazing and easy to coast up to 50 and which point you can move to...
Levels 50+ : Burning Woods, much more challenging but still lots of mobs to snag and a few spots to kite them at.

awesome thanks for the information. Any suggestion on a good UI that can help me switch out my instruments faster? im using the standard SoF one atm and it is hard to circle and switch out horn with lute manually.

I'm just starting this path now at 18. Got 2 kites done in EK and died a few times too... problem I'm finding is a good bind place close to EK, cause getting a port from GFay -> Karanas after each death is lame. Is Highkeep the closest? And what about South Karana, Highkeep again?

Could've sworn there was something funky about the bridge in Karana where you could bind on the bridges or at guard towers but no where else?

Also, Duxa's UI has weapon/inventory slots in bags and next to the action bar. I have a bag dedicated to instruments/weapons for swapping purposes.

you do realise the thread was stickied and therefore by assosiation it's been sanctioned by the developers right? if it wasnt allowed they would have deleted the thread not stickied it. Reporting people for using the UI wont do anything

TD Spirocs are another good bard spot 37-52ish if they aren't camped (no casters, mobs are 37-41ish, have relatively low hp). I saw a bard go from 45/46 to 50 basically overnight there (went to bed and he was 45, logged on early afternoon the next day and he was 50 in the same spot)

TD Raptors are good, but high-risk, kiting for 45+.

There's some issues to work around with them (often camped, running into water could get you killed, hard to find a rez, etc.), but when they're available they're basically the best mobs in the game for a bard above lvl 54.
