Nice recommendation about EQ Diva.
I've found Charm Kiting to be pretty fast exp and loot depending on what
you are kiting. Any type of kiting, however, is carpal tunnel enducing.
Druids get a break while they med. No such luck for the bard, who's very
short downtime means you are constantly at work. Not too bad if you never
want to be bored, but it is hard on the fingers.
Once you get your charm song, you can solo more efficiently than chant
kiting. The learning curve on charm kiting, though, is a bit steeper.
Expect to die while you learn your timing and be prepared to zone when you
get too low on health.
