.. and then the mob goes after whoever else the train went by before the bard died.

So does the lvl 18 dot have a larger range than the lvl 2 dot. Because I am having a hell of a time dotting the mobs I kite. Spent like 30 minutes today practicing and couldn't get a "winces" message at all even though I did everything Hmotzart was advising. I had the target circle in my lower right hand of the screen and yet it still wasn't hitting the mobs. Does anyone have any advice?

Yes it does. In fact when I have like 25 mobs and its very laggy and getting stunned once could insta-kill me I only use the level 18 dot until some mobs have died. You really have to be spot on to get that dot to stick, and it is tricky, so my advice is less mobs = less lag = more confidence.

I don't use Hmozarts method, I use the ol' mash turn key method. Using that method I have to spiral a little closer to get level 2 dot to stick, meaning pushing the key in for a little longer and making a tighter turn a second before the dot finishes singing.

if you're having trouble with lag when you dot you can try turning down (or off) your spell particle effects in the display menu. this seemed to help me quite a bit.

I just noticed that this is currently the most viewed and most responded-to thread in the screenshots forum, not that that has any significance, but I thought it was cool.

As for lag, turning Sky off helps too.

Must take a while to gather all those mobs in BW considering if you run too far ahead of the pack then you risk a caster pathing in front of the crowd. Having tried AoE kiting in BW, I can say that it's doable but requires more care than in OT...where I basically could run anywhere and aggro all the sabertooths and cactus and peacocks that I wanted. This extra care in BW diminishes the effectiveness of the AoE technique considerably.

just don't pull sarnaks and you'll never get a caster add unless you directly aggro it. Half the non-casting sarnaks are sowed anyways so they aren't worth pulling.

Hey I just attempted this at level 2 in the freeport newbie area. What I've found is using the hold click and strafe method I can safely apply my dot and never get hit. My question is, is selo's necessary later on for mobs with larger hit boxes than bats/beetles? I obviously don't have selo's at level 2, but I'm not having any issues getting hit.
