The Bard Problem

[Lazortag]

The actual kite doesn't take 25 minutes. I could imagine the pull + the kite together taking around that long, but it's usually shorter than that.

Anyways, I really don't see what's wrong with someone exping in the fastest way they can, so long as they follow the rules*. There are plenty of dungeons that are constantly empty that you could exp in, yet you choose to go to OT/South Karana and other outdoor zones that are popular for Bards. The bards aren't going away.

*this isn't to say that I'm okay with Bards who try to kite entire zones, take an obnoxiously long time to gather mobs, and then proceed to train everyone after they wipe.

Well there are not that many places suitable for bards to kite. In your levelrange it would be SK and OT. Means try places where bards can't AE kite.
WW giant fort is great xp for necros.. leveled there myself. Even try solo Unrest or whatever.. KFC is quiet overrated..

Doh, I thought it was going to be a post about all the bugs bards are still facing in kunark that made me put mine on hold.

oh well

[falkun]

There are very few places bards can effectively AE kite. There are a lot more places where you can exp for a given level range. Coincidence? Nope.

This isn't a problem. If they're first to engage, tough crap.

It sucks when I'm trying to do spirocs in TD and a bard is literally taking all of them - I just have to wait for respawns and grab 4 before he grabs them all, or...I could do that dreaded thing - talk to another player about leaving at least 4 spawns for me, and if not, just trying to be quicker than him...

Although talking to other players in an MMO would be insane, right

lol @ not being able to take a necro indoors.

Using a necro to kite outdoor mobs without ZEM is like borrowing dad's Porsche to pick up an order of wings 'to go' from Hooters. You've accomplished your main task, and completely wasted every benefit at your disposal in the process.

as much as i hate seeing bards pull 20 mobs and take 30 mins to kill, all these noob monks in fungi robes are getting ridiculous...fungi robes need to be nerfed ASAP, these robes alone are turning monks into total douchebags

[moklianne]

I agree with the OP. When a bard pulls a ton of mobs from the aviak village, everyone else suffers. It takes the bard forever to kill them, so all of the groups/other soloists are just sitting there waiting for them to die and then for their respawn timer to finish. It sucks. Unless bards get nerfed though, there's not much that can be done...
