Bard AoE kiting screenshot thread! - Page 18

I have been doing 6 to 10 lately because of my internet's lag. If I do more than that, it takes forever because I have to spend too much time running and healing.

Also, I just came over to SK at level 20 to try it out. Is there a certain area that you guys prefer? Should I watch killing certain creatures to keep my faction okay for selling?

Also, I am looking at trying OT soon. Where do you guys bind whenever you are there?

Thanks
Tewaz

I just hit level 20 yesterday and i went to OT to try it out. It take about 10 minutes to gather a pack of +-20mob. And then 5 minutes to kill them all! and it gives at level 20-21 about 30% exp per pull.

For some reason my game crash random. During a kite it means death which sucks. I would be 1 level and a half EASY higher if the game did not crash.

I heard you can get a bind in OT at the beach up north.

At 22 i would be tempted to actualy go try SK until level 30. What do you all think? would it be faster? Are there more mob to kill at once?

i did level 15-20 in FoB and the exp was just crazy. In 3 minutes I could gather about 40-50mob and kill them in 5 minutes for 50% of my level exp. I did level 15-20 in 10 FoB kiting.

Great posts but I have a lot to learn about kiting, and perhaps that it's only because I'm 19, but I have little luck and end up getting hit more than anything.

@Nokio

Try turning spell particles fully off. Also turn your sky off, helps a lot. You won't crash as much. You WILL crash though, its unavoidable unless you have a super nice machine.

Aye spell particles off and filter DoT damage to hide. Try to make those dots landing the least troublesome on your computer.

As for OT at 20, I think I did EK till like 20/21, went to OT to 24 where it slowed down, then headed off to SK till 28, in retrospect I should have stayed there till like 31/32 probably.

In OT I only do cactus/birds, I avoid the others as they have larger hit ranges, tigers/rhinos I have trouble getting CoD on them so if I pick them up i am careful and just put denons on them. This goes for all time I spent in OT.

In SK I did the whole aviak thing at once. Also there is a centaur village. I did this to 28 but I'd probably go to 30 if I did again as OT was long/hard at 28. No faction hits from either also, so you can sell right to their merchants after slaughtering the whole crew. Note to watch out for the one hut with named in it at the centaur village as he runs faster. I was actually able to toss quillimane into one of my AE kites there and it died faster than the centaur lol.

At 30ish you can go back to OT and pull all the cactus/birds you see and kill em down, I usually kited just south of the static spawn sarnak south of SF ramp. This got me to 44 usually yielding from 15-50% a pull.

Up to 49.5 now and think I have it mapped out to 55, where I guess I will have to figure out BW from the sounds of it

Yeah BW is your next stop. You wanna pull bees, gorillas, and skeletons. Also be very careful with the gorillas. I always turn around and tab through my swarm otw back to my kiting spot to make sure there's no Gullerbacks in there. Nothing sucks more than having a kite halfway dead to get summoned on top of it and insta-die.

I think I'm getting the hang of this. Mine only had 33 mobs though, a paltry sum.

Good deal Krafterk. How badly are you feeling the DoT nerf? I stopped AE kiting at 46, but I've chanted down a few named outdoor mobs lately, and all it does is create a longer kite, but not really any other harm.

I finally ran a line to my router last night and tried kiting without a wireless connection. It was BRILLIANT. If anyone is having lag problems and is on a wireless connection, that could very well be your issue. In other news, all the mages in SK hate me now.

Kraftwerk · #10 05-31-2011, 05:11 PM

Falkun, it's strange I logged on fully expecting to spend an extra min or two on dot portion of kites, but to my surprise my lvl 2 and 18 dots are still ticking for full damage. Has anyone else seen this? Lets keep it under wraps if so.
