2 bards kiting.

[chtulu]

Is there an easy way to have two bards kite at the same time? Low hp aggro perhaps? they are both level 20. I'm trying to figure out the best way to do this without aggro splitting between the bards.

with or without exploits?

[chtulu]

haha, without.

Here is the method I've heard of: each bard gathers half the zone, then one bard gets low HP and the other bard runs in the middle of the train and chains his dots.

and proximity aggro + damage aggro wont pull off the Low Hp bard? Been here that being too close to the train while aoeing causes a lot of problems.

Nope, Low HP aggro is so strong on EQ that it overrides everything else. Basically the mobs smell blood and try to finish off the low hp'er.

Well, I dunno. I've heard that for bard+wizard low HP kiting duos, at high levels the wizard needs to log off and log back on after nuking half of the way down so he doesn't get aggro. Don't know if this is true but I do what I'm told [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Hmm. Interesting, this doesn't happen at low levels?

I think the difference is that at low levels you don't build up as much hate because you're doing less raw damage. The idea is that low HP aggro is some fixed large number that you can actually overcome at high levels.

A bard will eventually pull off the agro. Seen it happen multiple times, as ive kited many many times in DL with a bard, he'd have to log out about 2x each pull because he'd rip agro even if i was low hp.
