    Kiting just increases incoming damage to you, honestly. They hit like wet noodles if you stay still.

    Based on what I remember doing as BRD, you can probably kill them with either Ruin + Bio, or Bio + Miasma. It usually took me a Windbiter and an auto-attack to kill one back when I was starting WP, which is about 400 potency or so (assuming they lived the whole dot).

    Do note, though, that I don't have a 50 SMN, so I can only offer advice based on what I've seen. What I've seen says that running around in circles hurts more than standing still.

    There isn't any need to kite them.

    As said before keep Gaurda on Obey.
    Keep Shadow Flare up.
    First cast Tri-Disaster when they get close enough.
    Then Cast Bane, and command Guarda to use her AoE move.
    They should all be dead before the tank takes any real damage from them.

    With all this within in 3 seconds they should each take

    Bio I - 40
    Bio II - 35
    Miasma - 35
    ShadowFlare - 25
    Tri-Disaster - 30
    Gaurda AoE - 90

    For a grand total of 255 Potency. The remaining dot ticks should finish them off before they get to you, considering they should now have also been bound by Tri-Disaster. You should save Enkindle for the last group just in case.

    Does your tank die a lot? How do you watch for stacks of Grudge if you are AoEing them all?

    "If you see 5 stacks, Hallowed Ground."

    Pretty much all you need to tell the tank, because it should only hit 5 stacks once, anyway.

    Just did this today with a Warrior tank whos average item level is about 70. The last group never gets to him thanks to Enkindle, so they don't even have to pop cooldowns.

    Normally I have Garuda take one and i'll use ruin/ruin2 on another. You can also use Tri-disaster to bind them too.
