God bless your wrist.

Bard was fun when you could 60-70 mob kites in Fv.

Gonna be a learning curve with each new area you kite in. Worth having a cleric there with ya at least while learning to rez you after deaths. It's not easy. But well worth it.

im practicing 1 - 2 mobs at a time and realizing this is not going to be easy as i'd hoped for sure haha

There's a lot of different tactics, I ended up getting jboots because the speed was consistent 35% over the full duration. Some people kite without movement speed, some kite with sow on (which has it's own pros and cons). I died a few times but back in the days you could kite 100 things it was quicker to just do another pull than try to get a res.

Once you get it down, you'll be good. There's also some youtube videos and guides on the forums? You should check those out.

You still can, they just die 25 at a time =]

Even if you never use the AE to powerlvl yourself or others it is worth learning the mechanics and the coordination for it. For me, I find that I have to strafe a lot (even with selos) to avoid getting hit...which took me a while to get down.

You can use your AE snare to CC pretty much unlimited mobs in KC and other camps. Its a bit dicky and lots of grps won't want you to do it, but its actually a good technique if you can do it reliably. Just another tool in your bag of tricks. Unlike most EQ classes/abilities you actually need some real life twitch coordination to pull it off.

If you're using any kind of speed buff you're doing it wrong.
