Guide to AoE Bard Kiting, here on P99.

[falkun]

Ok, I was kiting in OT, finding everything that was light blue - yellow to my 21-23 bard. I was making about a level every 45min-1hr, but now its starting to turn really green - light blue in that portion of OT. OT doesn't pick up again until the 30s when I can start doing the other side, over by the SF ramp (and pissing those groups off in the process).

Anyways, I'm 24 now and I need ideas for a new place to hunt, anyone?

South Karana, probably? Aviaks should still be good at your level

Go back to OT. Pull the south and west sides of the zone. Walk out at 46 (can probably push the exp to 48ish). Then I've heard some going to burning wood. Personally, once I hit planar level I hung up my AE kiting hat and have focused on grouping or soloing outdoor nameds for loot.

One night, I saw a 46 bard doing Spirocs in TD (he had the place to himself). He'd basically pull every single spiroc in the treehouse.

I logged on the following morning and he was 50. I assume he was doing fairly well. Spirocs are OK exp and quaddable until 53 for wizards/druids, so I assume a bard could take them just as far.

Turn spell particles off, turn DoT damage off, lower clip plane, do anything to lower lag, it's going to be bad enough with all the mobs running on your screen

As far as where to kite in OT, I had like 4 places I did, right outside the outpost by water, on the wall by outpost north? of SF, then right past the pillar/static sarnak spawn tot he south? of SF, and then out towards lowbie side by FM zone. I liked the pillar/static sarnak spawn the best though.

Also, use a wired connection instead of wireless. I always got hit on a wireless connection because of random lag spikes. On a wired, I only get hit when it is my fault. And everything that Jerus said.
