Circle kiting needs to be nerfed

[citizen1080]

Too lazy to read 12 pages on this dead horse of a discussion. So this could have very well been said already....But why would you choose to level in OT if you're NOT a bard/druid? Seriously, there are many better zones for xp/loot/looks/whatever. Unless you are farming faction for your hammer and bards are turkin ur merbs. I have no sympathy for you.

Because the game isnt about efficiency for everyone and different people enjoy different shit, it doesnt matter if there are better zones. I'm definitely not saying bard kiting should be nerfed, i just think your attitude about it is stupid.

There are 10+ other zones to level in that are better than OT for pure leveling. If someone really wants to level ASAP, just go somewhere else. This is the dumbest argument, and I don't even play a bard/druid/anyone else who gives a shit about OT

I like OT for the statuary.

AOE kiting was a problem in Dulak's harbour, so surely it made it at least in to LoY?

The problem isn't that the bards are taking all the mobs, it's that they regularly kill people. You're fighting a tiger, bard runs by with a thousand tigers- just close enough to pass that social aggro on to you, then bard dies, and a thousand tigers make a bee line for you. I haven't seen the problem on red yet because the population is low, but I've been killed in that manner on blue many times.. technically it's training.

And saying "who cares, overthere is a stupid place to level" is the dumbest shit I've ever heard.

Technically, it's you not being smart and moving.

Then technically training is fine.. you should just get out of the way when you get trained. Also, there's no more murder!! Your stupid ass should have gotten out of the way when the bullet was fired at you!

I could be wrong, but I don't think social aggro works like that unless you were sitting. You get added to the mob's hate list if you are sitting, fighting a similar faction mob (tiger), or buff the bard. Otherwise you shouldn't get social aggro.

My guild uses these mechanics to run to certain parts of some dungeons. The monk runs ahead, gets aggro, and trains the mobs while other people run right through the mobs, but they gain no aggro since the monk has aggro. The monk then flops, and the other players have gotten where they need to be past mobs without any aggro on them.
