Circle kiting needs to be nerfed

In fairness grouping on a bard in a dungeon can be pretty lame. Especially when the group doesn't want you to pull or CC.

Regen/Mana song
Haste song
DS song
Slow/Snare song
anddd repeat
for 6 hour grind group
to get 10% of a level

Or swarm kite Burning Woods and get a full level or two in that time.

I had intentions of playing my bard in groups to level, but then looking at bard songs it seemed like I hardly had any of the tools groups want from a bard until almost 30, which is the point bards enter the golden levels for AEing. And since I don't buy into the "the game is over one you're done leveling" crap, the 50s will take a long time for a bard whether AEing or grouping, and I want to get to get to a point I'll be able to visit the planes and feel pretty "complete" as a class quickly... AE it is!

23+ has sucked (relatively speaking) IMO. SK is busy and huge and has a number of unkiteable mobs. OT is too low or too high. LOIO seemed like an option but meh. And killing red con's in FV has been a fairly harrowing experience. I'm excited to be at a point I think I can do drolvargs for a few levels now though until hitting OT to 46+ now [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Even in OT though. Bards aren't ever pulling rhinos or caster sarnaks, they rarely pull tigers or other sarnaks. That laces quite a few mobs for the fearkiters and couple groups in zone it seems.
