Bard question

[hopped]

I'll have to get a gear list together of what I have and see if there are pieces I should replace.

In order to get jboots I would have to sell off my Breath of Harmony but I could grab a Sionache's Partisan. But if I'm aoe kiting weapons aren't really that needed and I can get a BoH once I can proc it at 50 where I should have earned the plat needed by then. Also as far as instruments rocking a mm drum and lute of the gypsy princess and the basic brass horn.

Here is a list of my gear to date:

Opalline Earrings x2
Golden Black Pearl Choker
Platinum Star Ruby Veil
Skull-Shaped Barbute
Platinum Fire Wedding Ring x 2
Sebilite Scale Bracer x 2
Sebilite Scale Vambraces
Iksar Scaled Gloves
Tattered Mantle
Lambent Breastplate
White Wolf-Hide Cloak
Sludged Girdle
Sebilite Scale Leggings
Lambent Boots

Mistmoore Battle Drums
Lute of the Gypsy Princess
Horn
Breath of Harmony
Sionache's Partisan

For Strafe kiting do the mobs need to be in front of your with the lvl 2 song? just got nailed by some orcs because my dot would not land while I was strafing for some reason.

You should be fully zoomed out with mouse scroll and strafing. As you strafe you should be using your mouse to turn until you can see the mobs just appear in the bottom corner of your screen. This should be close enough for you to land your dots. It'll likely take a bit of trail, error and deaths before you master it. I prefer the other method of hitting f9 four times and zooming out and using the turn keys to circle.

Well I was trying it with some light blue/dark blue orcs in sro without selos because supposedly you can just strafe but I'll give it a few more shots, practice practice...

[Dalven]

Yeah you can just strafe but like I said my preference was the other way. Try it with just one mob at a time until you get the hang of it.

ok I zoomed out and slowly shrunk my circle til they were visible hit my dot and circled out... they caught me a couple times but it seemed to work out.

Practice, and you'll get better at not getting hit. If you are dieing while practicing, grab fewer mobs until you have the "do not get hit" part down. Then add more mobs.

only died once in practicing but for some reason I am crashing upon zoning in an out today for some reason... Anyway I was avoiding trying to zone so I died.

I always mouse steer. I actually find it easier to do so than any other means. But to each his own barding, eh?
