Baerd AE kite

Post by trusleag » Mon Jul 12, 2004 11:55 pm

I looked and used search to try and find this. I was wondering about a bard AoE kiting script. My fingers are dead and my head feels like it's going to fall off, not to mention the sea sickness from when I finish AE kiting. I've tried writing my own script, but I have come to the sad conclusion that I suck at writing these. I tried updating some of the auto twist scripts and the chant macro, but I can't seem to keep the mobs close enough to get the AE dots to land. If anyone could help me out, I would be much obliged.

There are no generic AE kite macros. There are too many variables for it. Take your favorite chant kite macro and modify it for where you are hunting.

I have used chant.mac for aoe kiting. The code was not changed at all. I just used a very small circle and no run speed increases (I have run3). I think my hot key was something like "/macro chant.mac 123 0 35 5".
If you're not familiar with chant.mac the 123 are the gems used for my ae dots, 0 is for the selo's (using 0 prevents it from trying to cast selo's), 35 is the radius and 5 is my heal song.
While this macro seems to be designed as an afk macro, I wouldn't do that while ae kiting though. I have had to use some manual turning while doing my circles to avoid cliffs, water, trees and rocks but other than that it's pretty sound. I have never accidently cut too tight with this.

I hope this helps ya out :)

you mean you go afk with the chant.mac? I can't seem to do that because I get a lot of adds in time and with the many targets it tries to selo constraint every target and quits doing the dots. Also at times my Selo fades and with that many adds its insta death.

i used chant mac also i am normally sitting in front of the comp reading or watching tv doing it. worked fine for me no matter how many mobs for about 2 weeks so far.

normally just ae with it but i have noticed that after i get about 30 mobs i end up dieing, seems my comp cant run the macro and eq with that many mobs lagging me out at the same time. 0-30 mobs works fine over that normally kills me.

maybe that is your problem also?
