Guide to AoE Bard Kiting, here on P99.

[Mirakk82]

Okay, since there are a lot of bards here I might as well ask the question I always wanted to ask back in the day.

What is up with Bards and NOT being able to control their mobs when swarm kiting?

I was a necromancer on live, and would kite and reverse kite with absolute control over what I was doing at all times whether it was one mob or multiples. But if I saw a bard swarm kiting I'd have to FD to avoid being steamrolled. This happened relentlessly for years.

Were these bards just being A-holes and deliberately trying to kill me for carving into their xp magin? Or is it really that hard to avoid killing everyone around you while swarm kiting?
