Exclamation Public Service Announcement: Bard Kiting

Thie is AoE kiting:

Note the use of AoE dots, and the circular pattern the corpses make.

This is swarm kiting (sorry for blah Luclin graphics, first I could find):

Note the use of charm, and social NPCs that engage in swarm behavior:

AoE kiting is not swarm kiting. Swarm kiting always, always uses charm in classic EQ, and I think might be broken here because of some NPC agro bug preventing the social NPCs from engaging in swarm behavior as they should, when a charmed NPC is involved. If swarm kiting is broken here, swarm kiting does not exist on P99.

Please stop using these terms erroneously. As a classic bard suffering from light neuroticism, it makes me sad. Please don't make me sad [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
