    Is bard kiting still a thing? If so, how many mobs can a bard hit at once with songs? Is the range of songs good enough to make this viable? Any other Ragefire Progression server bard kiting suggestions please let me know thank you in advance.

    Bard kiting is dead. Most songs now only do damage if the mob is stationary.
    Bards used to be able to gather so many mobs that it caused lag issues. Unlike the fix for swarming that did not totally kill the tactic they chose to nuke bards from orbit just to be sure.

    It would be a huge help for TLP bards if they but a cap on how many MOVING mobs the song would effect and leave the stationary mobs uncapped. Being able to "Quad" or "Oct" (eight) would be a great throwback to classic and not cause server problems.

    The only viable kiting there is for bards now is either dotting 1 mob with single target dots, or charm kiting (charm 1 mob and aggro a lot of other mobs, have the train kill your pet, break charm when it's low HP). Charm probably costs too much mana in classic to be a meaningful source of experience.
