from my time on live, i always used swarm kiting to refer to the charm killing (charm one, let stuff beat it down, break charm a 1%, etc) also (I played on Povar and Xev).

not sure if it was different on all live servers or if it is only different here.

No, the same. It's here that people call AoE kiting "swarm kiting" for some reason.

the fact is that at higher lvls bards would swarm kite instead of AoE kiting it was safer and more effective imo

true. but one of the of the things that always intrigued me about EQ (more so than other MMOs) is that certain real life personalities are drawn to certain classes in game. Bards have always seemed to be packed with a certain stereo-typically "bard" personality. Its not necessarily just negative either.

I seem to remember on live that most Bards were women. Same with Cleric's. Hardly evil people.

But yeah, most Bards on here seem to be men for some reason. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Boy if only there was some way to deal with players who bother you in game, say like by rooting them or killing them, if only!

Man, if only there was some way to deal with trolls from Red posting irrelevant bullshit into threads like this. Oh wai-

Might be off-topic but its it just me or is the Bard the premeire FTOM class right now?

Do a /who all bard 5 20 and /who all bard 21 60 and the first one is usually double of late.

My first toon (weekapaug) was a bard and I stopped playing at 5 because the ex wasn't into duoing anything that went well with a bard so we changed to other toons, but I've been kind of itching to start playing him again. Lot of bard hate going around lately, it seems, and it sounds like it's fairly well deserved by the way people are playing them here. Kiting is fun as hell, but bards really shine in groups.

Nobody plays on red...they have to come to blue forums to talk to someone else.

I've been saying this for so long; as I recall this wasn't a huge problem on live since most computers and/or connections weren't fast enough to handle these kinds of trains.
