Well I haven't done much kiting as my first attempt at level 17 in N.Karana
was a disaster. I was grouped with a level 19 Wizard and we were just North
of the W.Karana zone on the path. I was using Selo's, Bellow and CoD when I
ran too close to a house "LOADING PLEASE WAIT" I do know that griffawns
have double attack and I don't think solo kiting is really even possible
till we get Chains. It's been very painful everytime I've gotten mixed up
with a griff, although I've never died thanks to Selo's.
I'm curious about other bards success kiting with level 20 and under songs.
How do you balance running out of range for such a long kite if your only
bellowing? And if your using CoD or DDD how much success do you have
keeping from attracting other mobs and instakill NPC's?
For that matter how useful is Largo's Melodic Binding and does anyone
actually use it? Having just gotten level 20 I've started using Anthem,
Hymn, Largo's, Bellow or Denons. I mainly group because soloing pre-20 in
S.Karana gave me a lot of exercise in running to the zone :)

P.S. I'm trying to find a good unique surname that goes well with my name,
email me directly if you have any suggestions.
P.P.S. If you do a second P.S. it is done P.P.S. not P.S.S. P.S. stands
for postscript, so a second one is a post postscript, not a postscript
script. However if you just want to add a couple items under one P.S., then
use P.SS. which is the plural of P.S. :^)
P.P.P.S. I used to confuse/mis-use these all the time:
i.e. = id est "that is (to say)"
e.g. = exempli gratia "for example"
No, I'm not a teacher or an english major, just a picky bastard. As a
matter of fact I had to drop Freshman english because I was failing!
