Title: Anyone who used to play old school bard miss swarm kiting? Post by: Gavotte on September 08, 2010, 01:24:08 pm I was hoping charm would work here but apparantly it has a bug with duping or something. That is a pity! I used to love grabbing a ton of things and using charm to have them all beat each other up:).... Anyone else miss that? It could be challenging especially if your swarm contained a lot of mobs that hit hard :).
Title: Re: Anyone who used to play old school bard miss swarm kiting? Post by: Otaduke on September 08, 2010, 01:27:01 pm broke on purpose to prevent duping and exploiting. You can run in to CoM and get charmed as well as on Ldon 3 or 4 not any where near as fun as doing the charming though. Was alot of fun in pvp as well.

Title: Re: Anyone who used to play old school bard miss swarm kiting? Post by: Bikaf on September 08, 2010, 05:25:59 pm i miss the faction assist bug in western wastes that made bards able to solo any dragon in the zone as long as you had great dragon faction.
Helped so many people by just giving out all the red dragon loot. And the faction hits were nothing a night in Kael couldn't fix. Title: Re: Anyone who used to play old school bard miss swarm kiting? Post by: Isaaru on September 08, 2010, 06:22:45 pm Bard was my main for a long time!
Definitely miss the experience, don't miss the carpal tunnel. Title: Re: Anyone who used to play old school bard miss swarm kiting? Post by: sohami on September 09, 2010, 07:20:42 am I just had a bard as an alt on live, didn't have the full experience many people claim that the bard gave. However I had a lot of irreplaceable fun with him, even though I did only get him to the low 60's. Never swarm kited or anything mindblowing, its just the style and feel of bards that are awesome & unique.

Post by: kalzin230 on September 09, 2010, 01:09:56 pm I used to play a bard... was the wiper of most raids... you steal our PoP mob then i'd simply log her in and *encourage* a wipe... was generally fun to do... dawn and twilight are your friends... great to see avatar summon all the clerics and wipe the riad muhuhahah
Title: Re: Anyone who used to play old school bard miss swarm kiting? Post by: Omnivore on September 13, 2010, 04:08:47 pm I certainly miss it..I'd pull 20-30 mobs and spend the next 10 minutes running around and playing chicken with the mob trying to get as close as I could get for my spells to hit but not get hit myself..Good times
Title: Re: Anyone who used to play old school bard miss swarm kiting? Post by: ♫§µÄdÖBlÖÖd♫ on September 28, 2010, 02:09:30 am I remember on live I never had the balls to swarm kite but I used to love charm kiting. Everyone would always ask me how I leveled so fast lol. Also was very entertaining.
Title: Re: Anyone who used to play old school bard miss swarm kiting? Post by: Lored on September 28, 2010, 03:19:58 am First time I ever swarm kited was in Dulak shortly after LoY came out. God was it fun lol, I had so many tells from people telling me "Hey can you stop it! You're lagging me out!" "Sorry bro, upgrade your computer :-/, I'm leveling" That zone was so awesome for swarm kiting it wasn't funny.

Lol I never had a computer that was too crappy for EQ. :P Title: Re: Anyone who used to play old school bard miss swarm kiting? Post by: Isaaru on September 29, 2010, 12:38:23 pm Back in Classic when I first got my Charm spell (27/28?) I would charm the cyclops in Rathe Mtns and use them to kill the Hill Giants. Took 2-4 Cyclops per HG and it was slow, but it was definitely fun, challenging, and rewarding.
Title: Re: Anyone who used to play old school bard miss swarm kiting? Post by: ♫§µÄdÖBlÖÖd♫ on September 29, 2010, 02:07:00 pm Lol that sounds like a lot of fun. :) I remember always getting to rathe mountains and there always be like 100 people there going after the 20 giants that spawned for money/exp :P
Title: Re: Anyone who used to play old school bard miss swarm kiting? Post by: Slyminx on December 06, 2010, 05:07:10 am I played a Bard on live, up to level 75.
The most memorable moment was in Planes of Power where bards started to replace monks in splitting mobs up for a good pull with Fading Memories ;) Ofcourse, just to make sure monks didn't hold a grudge, we let them pull Quavonis Firetail out of his cave ;) Title: Re: Anyone who used to play old school bard miss swarm kiting? Post by: Kishii on December 06, 2010, 05:10:39 am Swarming the giants in Rathe.. good times !
get the entire hill.. would have to invis click to break charm early cause my swarm would be so huge would died in seconds :) wow i made alot of money back then Title: Re: Anyone who used to play old school bard miss swarm kiting? Post by: Kareo on May 20, 2011, 05:05:41 am Yeah! I'm new to EZ, but played for years as a bard on Live. I leveled from about 52-58 by swarm kiting in Luclin, Maiden's eye was perfect! I was all excited to try it again tonight for old time's sake, and was sad that the mobs are immune. Booo...
Funny thing is...I had a nice swarm all ready to go by the time I tried charming. Ended up being a train with about half the zone by the time I gated lol. Title: Re: Anyone who used to play old school bard miss swarm kiting? Post by: stad on May 20, 2011, 05:48:08 am definition of swarm is that more then 10?
Be carefull double edged question!! Title: Re: Anyone who used to play old school bard miss swarm kiting? Post by: Slyminx on May 21, 2011, 04:11:46 am definition of swarm is that more then 10? Be carefull double edged question!! If he was in a private/guild instance, the swarm could be 100mobs and it doesn't break any rules ;) Per se.

Post by: Slyminx on June 26, 2011, 04:19:15 pm definition of swarm is that more then 10? Definition of swarm is: No more than half the zone's population. OR No less than 3/4's of the area you're currently in. If anyone remembers swarm kiting gobbos in PoNightmare, that's what I'm talking about. The entire gobbo area, including caves and the horseman's part was eligible for a single "swarm" :P |
