EverQuest/Strategies/Swarm Kiting: Difference between revisions

Swarm kiting is a soloing technique that is specific to the bard class of Everquest. When done correctly, it is a very powerful and effective method for soloing large numbers of mobs. The technique draws its name from the concept that a large number of mobs will be used to "swarm" around another mob that is charmed by the player. The swarm will attack the charmed pet until it is nearly dead. At this point, the player will break the charm and finish killing the previously charmed pet him/herself, using any ranged damage songs available to the player. Note that with swarm kiting, only one mob is killed at a time. This is not to be mistaken with AE kiting, where multiple mobs are killed simultaneously.
