Please point out the enchanter that is so obviously in that screenshot [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

and yeah, an enchanter PLing a Bard is probably way more efficient than a Bard PLing a Bard.

I figured the huge fire elemental in the middle of the spawns + Aoe stun spell.... Well only enchanters get that.

Edit: ok i guess hes not huge, But really how can you get past the aoe stun pixels? lolol

Maybe I haven't seen that spell enough to memorize exactly what pixels are associated with it? My enchanter's only level 22. It's not as obvious as you think it is. Let's just leave it there [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Chanter was 49ish PLing a 19-22ish bard.

True, But who hasnt seen this on live? Im actually appauled two level 50's dont know what a color skew looks like. That is all.

I'm kind of surprised, too - i can't make out the elemental in the middle, I just know what color skew/flux looks like.

That's a mighty tasty way to PL AoE classes [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

To be honest my spell effects are off most of the time so I probably haven't sen those particles since 2005. But you are right, the color line does look just like that. I assumed it was also a particle effect used in some bard song (again, particles turned off for my bard).

Anyway, I just looked and saw lots of dogs, sparkles and a spider with a bard in the middle. There was nothing in the chat window to indicate what else was going on besides bard damage. I just now noticed the elemental you were referring to. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Lastly, I have too many of my own characters to level up to bother and learn every single powerleveling trick for every class combination. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] In any case it's a good looking kite!

Wow. I can't believe I didn't take a screenshot of my epic raptor kite on Beta. It was really hard to execute and took forever. It would have been perfect for this thread.

Seafuries were put on this norrath for bards, I swear.

Everything mcbard said is totally true. It definitely gets very slow at around 35 though, in my experience.

This... isn't an example of aoe kiting.

Yup I don't play with spell effects on anymore either. I never did on live, but I did here with about 8% opacity until they made that god awful manasong effect with the last update. I've went back to having them all off.

Bard pling a bard is awesome.. ae slow + DS + regen when needed and grab entire zones and just hold agro with slow while the other bard dots them to death. Never any down time and you can powerlevel well into the 30s in SolA, but by then it starts to get a little tricky as anymore than like 6 mobs at a time might cause you some problems! Also if the class you're powerleveling has a PBAE you can get a bunch of mobs with similar hp, almost kill them, make sure the low level tags with AE, dot when they are low and zone. Mass exp for only 1 AE's worth of mana for the powerlevelee. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
