Chant kiting was fun.

You would twist a few songs.
An AoE chant, to piss the mobs off.
A fast run, probably with drums equipped to be faster.
Aggro a very large pack of mobs.

Then charm one of the mobs, so it is your ally.
The pack of twenty level 85's (wow context) are your DPS.
They quickly almost kill your pet.
You break the charm.
And continue to kite.

Which is run faster than the mobs.
And do AoE chant damage.
Which can now quickly kill the almost dead mob that was briefly your ally.
A mob which is tough enough that a full party might need to DPS it for 90 seconds to kill it.

But you've gone and charmed another of the mobs.
And keep it charmed for 6 seconds, so the other 85 elites hit it to 5% life or so.
In those 6 seconds... instead of grouping with 5 other players and spending 80 seconds to do the same dps.

Continue the process.
But your chant (AoE damage, pretty pathetic actually)...
Can kill the mostly dead mob in 30 seconds.
So you drop a mob every 30 seconds or so.... by yourself.
Three times as quickly as a full party can drop the mob.
But you have thirty or forty mobs tagged at once.

I miss my bard too.
