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.

Think that was me hehe =) yeah spiroc for 44+ is what I did, at 43 my cactus/birds in OT went LB for some of them, so i pushed to 44, then left. Spiroc were great til like 52 then it went LB for a lot of them, random kinda anywhere from 1/4 to 3/4 will be LB at 52+ it seems.

IMO good way to go would be around 18 hit EK then move to OT by Warsliks till like 24, at 24 go to SK and slaughter aviak till like 27/28 then head to centaur (slightly higher mobs) even though it sill slow down stick it out at least till 30 otherwise you can't land dots on kites in OT very easily and they stretch on till eventually kill you lol. From 30-44 hit OT cactus/birds, then move to spiroc till 52. Can do 1-52 in probably 2 weeks easy.

Jerus was cool and respectful about it, I have had bards (even guildies [You must be logged in to view images.

Be respectful of your fellow players and all should be good.
