    Native vipions above swiftwind are good. They're lvl 41, and they use some m. attk but if you get up close they'll just hit ya.

    vipions are better for exp and drops i think. Both have magic attack.

    Charm burnage isnt fast at all if you use sutra efficiently.

    To aoe grind, just walk up to one, hit him with an aoe and the mobs close will start hitting you, then use aoe skills. If you want to lure more then just go around aoeing mobs once to gather em up and start thwacking at em.

    Having ToP and Sutra maxed to the higest lvl possible helps with the charm problem. Usually with those 2 skills i can get a good 5-10 mobs without my charm ticking. With good timing. Physical marrow helps insanely too. Course its a lil different with gear and such at 60+ but its just a general idea. Just try not to take on more than u can handle

    AoE was the first thing that popped in my head when I saw title. I suggest picking a mob about 3 LvLs lower than you. Make sure they agro too.

    It is pretty simple just run around till you have a good group around you. Then unleash hell. I personally created a macro that chains AoEs and only relies on other spells as a way to wait for my AoEs too cool down. (I have several macros and each one has a very specific function.)

    My current macro for AoE training is pretty simple.
    Highland Cleave>Drake Bash>Aeolian Blade>Then I repeat once more>Finally I end most of my macros with a regular atk. I can't tell you how many times I look away for a sec only to see me sitting there taking damage or dead without this

    Another tip would be to get Apoc stuff (like life powder) as well as regular and event pots. Just one atk from a decent amount of mobs can really hurt.

    I do alright but I have money to through at stuff like this and I too rely on charms. I would also be interested to hear others opinion on the matter. Please make all criticism a little constructive. It is literally the least you could do.

    Btw: Drake Sweep says that my skill LvL isn't high enough to use. Could anyone expand on this. I have done my last Cultivation if it helps.

    If you have some cash to throw around I suggest oracles. Oracle 1 can be easily soloed and is cheap. The only problem w/ it is there is only one mob so High lvls sometimes PK anyone in sight so they can hoard. (Every other time there is a line) It is also popular for KoS factions because so many people do.
    I got 4 LvLs in 1 day with this.

    Wicked Pirate oracle is nice because it is still relatively cheap, more exp and multiple targets. You won't have to worry about getting the most damage done or being PKed just for fighting one as a result.
    Either way if your just trying to LvL and are not focused on drops this is extremely fast.

    The dq/coin/eq drops easily pay for the hp heiro. Having a slave cleric out of party so you don't need a heiro also helps a bit b:dirty. Plus at 90 you can aoe on mobs that do ~50 damage a hit and use tree of protection to heal yourself when you are at about 15% hp.

    Why are you doing Drake Bash and Aeolian Blade for aoe grinding?

    Physical Attack only mobs are the best for grinding as a BM.
    Dustwraiths outside of sundown town were gr8 for me.
    Gang leaders
    Ace Death Knights
    Now doing seaspray bladewolfs
    I AoE the chit out of them
    Fissure, highland, drake sweep, roar, repeat

    Always keep up Alter Marrow Physical
    Use cloud sprint to gather some mobs
    Start off with roar of the pride, then your 4 AOE's are highland cleave, fissure, drake sweep, and fan of of flames.
    Use roar as much as you can to reduce damage taken
    When you have enough chi you can either use diamond sutra to heal, or use heaven's flame
