After rezzing me due to ddos lag spike death, Sirken decided to have a bit of fun with me. This resulted in perhaps the first ever kite by frog [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I have some questions. I used to AE kite on EQ live and was very good at it, I did both dot songs and would use 3/4 perspective, run in basically giant oval/figure 8 movements and cut the circle tight right as the song landed. It was amazing exp and a lot of fun.

On P99 I seem to die doing this, so I tried strafe kiting, and it works great until I run into the same problem -- the server for whatever reason will have me suddenly lag and I end up running right into my crowd of monsters. It's basically a death sentence. I just tried it out in Qeynos and all those gnoll pups and beetles beat me up good.

Should I go back to trying the 3/4 perspective and hope the level 18 dot keeps me safe? I might try adjusting my video settings as well.

Its gonna be hard with this DDoS happening, I would say keep with the circles. I tried figure eights as well and I couldn't get this to work effectively. The tight circles with the strafe trick is pretty good once you get the hang of it, however, if a DDoS comes in, you're pretty much uckfayed.

Yeah I'm not sure the ovals/figure 8's work here because of the hit boxes having longer range on you when you run in a straight line. They worked perfectly on EQ Live.

Where can a newbie level 5 try this around Qeynos that would also provide some good loot or money?

I've been killing yard trash and also some gnolls for coins and weapons, but seem to be dead broke after buying some backpacks, food, and songs.
