The problem you are likely facing is mostly with drolvargs. They have larger hotboxes than other mobs do if you use any song besides the brass they will more likely eat you. You can use stringed songs more easily with smaller mobs in OT in a few levels. Just avoid tigers and rhinos

I would just add that you need to play in a 4:3 resolution (not 16:9). This helped immensely when kiting large hitbox mobs like the drolvargs in Firiona Vie. I was getting my butt handed to me prior to trying this out. Quom and Suif have great bard kiting tutorials on YouTube but if you've made it to your 30's you probably don't need them, although Suif's video also has other bard techniques that are good.

I've got a macbook pro 15inch with a res of 1440x900. I play with a game rez of 1152x720. Not sure if that meets the 4:3 res you said. I've got the option of going 1024x768, 1024x640, 1280x800, 1344x840, and 1440x878 What should i change to?

I just changed my resolution to the 1440x878 resolution which is actually really great for viewing the game, but when trying to strafe kite i could not see my swarm when they were being hit by my dps. which was scary lol

Sorry for responding so late, Dev! You want your game to be played in something like 800 x 600 or 1024 x 768 so that you can see the mobs in the corner. The 16:9 ratios cut part of the screen out, so by the time you see them they are way too close and you're gonna get stunned and stomped!
