Hellgate - Kiting with my swarm rifle

My leading evoker tactic at the moment.

1. Equip swarm rifle (it fires a swarm of flying green bugs):

2. Clear an exit path

3. Run towards a group of mobs and fire away with your swarm rifle

4. Reverse back down the cleared exit path while firing all the way (aim towards the mobs as you fire - but you don't need to be too accurate)

5. Watch as bugs fly around the place eating/exploding mobs, boxes, barrels, etc... Fun, fun, fun...

6. Loot

It's a great gun. Once the bugs have finished with one mob they go for the next one. As long as you keep the gun going and you keep moving backwards as they advance, they'll all die.

I did the boss guy in the British Museum using this trick 3 times on different evokers. I just ran him and his cronies round and round the circular staircase in the center of the museum. Works a treat on opening boxes too.

I'm not sure how this compares with the 'Swarm' skill evokers get at level 25.
