How I can't stand people doing this. Bards are experts in landing the big numbers, then go on to kiting (fun for all tanks and melee classes) and in the end running away like a chicken lol. I was in the exact situation the OP was..almost cleared a FATE; tank comes, HP go down, mob almost dead and he starts running. I even used the chat to tell him that he should just die and I switch the char after FATE is over to revive him. But no, running running running so the enemy resets. And back to another undefined time of waiting. At least he died nevertheless because on his way to escape, he aggroed trash mob that killed him. And I did not ressurect him but waved at his dead body. I know I am a bitch sometimes.
