I'm a new bard trying to learn how to swarm kite.

The only issues I have been having is with the camera. Is there a way to bind your the camera to be controlled by something other then then holding down right click?

use 1st person view, and scroll with middle button to maximum so that you can see yourself and move using the mouse.
once circling I don't move camera

He doesn't mean moving the camera, at least I don't think. I think he means needing to right click to mouse turn when he is strafing. I imagine this is because your finger/hand is hurting.

I switched to using a GameCube controller, and now I am in heaven.

WUT?

How do you use the Game Cube controller for EQ?

I did about 75 in FV.

Didn't DC, but i stick with that it still isn't as safe as it used to be. Bigger hit box and faster mobs

Yeah its a bizarre thing. I just pulled most of BW and right before I engaged the mobs started acting really wonky. They started splitting up and my spells stopped working. Throughout this entire process, my ping is completely normal and there is no indication of lag.

When it happens, I can survive by heading to the nearest zone line, and after zoning everything is fine. Occasionally if I keep selo's on, it will seemingly randomly start working again, but only for one cast of the spell. The weirdest part is that if I stop trying to run, I can see them swinging (presumably at me) and walk away as though I die, and when I watch them kill invisible me, I disconnect and come back dead. They have to kill me for me to disconnect.

Oh, and I did 2-3 huge kites in Dreadlands, but it happened at 5 AM and there were about 120 (red server) people on at the time. I have not been able to kite during normal hours since this started happening.

I haven't heard of this happening to anyone else. Since this last patch, I also crash about 50% of the time after zoning. It feels like since I have the attention of so many things, everything is getting clogged up. It almost feels like a GM is messing with me or something...

Before the patch that "fixed" mobs (broke them for bards ) i had that happen once. Spell gems locked, wouldn't cast, etc. Happened in FV and there wasn't a single soul around, i had every dog i could find. I think the number of mobs just de-synced me

Pretty sure this is a problem on my end. Just ran a speed test and I am only getting 3 Mbps out of the 50 I pay for. I can see having 80 mobs on a 3 Mbps connection causing desync issues.

But anyhow, back on topic, since the patch I have been unable to strafe kite. Prior to this patch I would strafe kite with no movement speed. I tried this and mobs very slowly catch up to me now. I'm currently kiting by running diagonal and hitting mobs with PBAoEs. It's working, but I like strafe kiting better. Are you guys using Selos for strafing now?
