Btw, bards are way better kiters than druids. Or I should say,
it is possible to kite way more effectively with a bard than a druid.
Very few people seem to know how to do it though. Chords is
area song remember? You can without too much trouble, kite
_3_ monsters at the same time. Do not try 4, if they get too
close together (which will happen, since it is what you are
trying to do) one or two will split up and run off a bit, then come
back.

Oh, and druid 14lvl dot does 2dam/second. You can kite same
even with bellow if you get a sow. Or strafe at the same time and
you don't even need sow for normal speed monsters. However,
I kited 3 blue-yellows or low reds when I was around 14-18lvls
sometimes. It's not as fun always as melee, so I did not purely
kite. It took me 5minutes to kill 3 of them. Don't know how much
chords does damage, but I bet my butt it does more than 2dam/second
with a lute at that level. And THEN you add a multiplier for 3 ;)
Lets just say, I wish I would find the boredom to train my brass
skill up so I could use Discord. It is way faster to do damage from
what I tried with bats and rats.
