Chanting — Lyri Cal

TL;DR

Chanting is single-target solo kiting -- snare a mob with Largo's and layer DoTs (Chant of Flame/Frost) while running.
No group XP penalties, making it a reliable solo option at any level.
Use Angstlich's Appalling Screech (AoE fear) as an emergency tool to create distance when pulls go wrong.

Overview

Chanting is the core solo kiting style for bards — layering targeted DoT songs on a single mob while keeping it snared or feared. Unlike PBAoE swarming, chanting works cleanly on one target at a time and avoids group XP penalties.

Songs

♫

Largo's Melodic Binding

String

Snare. Preferred kiting tool. Primary kite control song — keeping this up on your target is the foundation of any chanting rotation.

♫

Angstlich's Appalling Screech

Level 26 · Brass

PBAoE fear. Sends nearby mobs fleeing. Useful for breaking aggro or creating distance when a pull goes wrong or you need a moment to reposition.

♫

Chant of Flame

Level 10 · Singing

Fire DoT. First targeted damage-over-time. Core of early solo kiting — apply this and keep the mob snared while it ticks down.

♫

Chant of Frost

Level 34 · Singing

Cold DoT. Pairs with Chant of Flame for dual-element kiting. Some mobs resist one but not the other, making both songs essential for consistent damage across different zones.
