Quad kiting: why not 16? And more questions

[Swish2]

Bards are a special type of greedy... beyond the ole "I've found 3 seafuries but can't find a 4th to start my quad kite properly"

Is the limiting of caster AoE spells to 4 a classic feature? Or was it nerfed here on p99 along with bard AoE?

Quad kiting is classic. E.g. thread from 2001:

quad kiting is how my RL druid friend hit lv 47 before my rogue was lv 25 and we played roughly the same on live about 2 weeks before kunark launched

Just a pro tip on Invoke Lightning, the level 5 targeted AoE.

It has a smaller smash damage than most AoE, so you can actually toe-to-toe tank your quad and spam the nuke.

It's pretty handy when fighting a lot of weak mobs, like in black burrow where you will want to kill greens for fangs.

Nice to know, thanks JJ

Alternatively you can just use an actual PBAoE spell like Tremor, which will hit more than 3-4 mobs at a time.

Druids are the fastest leveling non pl non twink solo class?

My druid is 11 now, can't wait for 14. When does quad kiting start?

Fastest would be a very skilled bard swarming (even with the nerfs) provided they never had any competition in the few spots that swarming is possible 55+

Pretty sure a well played enchanter would also outpace a druid soloing from 1 to 60 non twink in a race

Key word being "well played" you can be super lazy and be afk 90% of the time and quad kite to 60 on a druid at a pace that alot of other classes couldn't keep up with solo

a nice science
