Kiting, amirite?

...moar meds. x_x

Kiting is a term encountered in MMORPGs such as EverQuest, The Lord of the Rings Online or World of Warcraft referring to a popular method of killing mobs (monsters) by staying at a distance, using ranged attacks, and running whenever the enemy comes near.

The most basic method of kiting is to attack an enemy from a distance and simply run away, stopping to attack again as often as necessary in order to maintain aggro and to whittle down the enemy's hit points. More advanced techniques require knowledge of a game's specific mechanics. For example, in World of Warcraft, the Mage class has access to "frost" spells which slow down the enemy's movement or even freeze them in place, allowing the mage to keep his distance even if his normal movement speed is less than that of his enemy.

I adore the expression. XD

My SO is amazing at kiting as a mage. She (Female UD mage) had me (male BE hunter) stand in one spot with aspect of the cheetah on and proceeded to run around me in a circle with an Overlord chasing after her, casting Ice Lance to keep it hating her while I, and my wolf chewing on his heels, killed it.

I laughed the entire time.

You know.. I've played WoW for quite a while and never actually saw it first-hand.. I would've tried experimenting with kiting using a mage myself but being a druid for so long I feel weird if that character in the middle of my screen isn't a panther :P
