    Default Kiting: Who's the Real Noob?

    Ill go right ahead and say it:
    Kiting is Skill, Not Noobish
    Kiting takes practice and very few people can preform it. I use dexbear twinks at lvls 5, 16, 20, and soon to be 26, I kite on them all. Here's some food for thought:
    If everyone can kite, why doesn't everyone kite?
    Why do crossbow users sacrifice damage for distance?
    Why doesn't everyone kite if it's ^so overpowered?

    There's a simple answer to all of these:
    Kiting is skill, good kiters win, bad ones fail miserably

    I have been rushed countless times because I "run" or I "kite"
    It cracks me up when I am on my wand Mage and a dexbear complains I kite.
    I have just hit 100 kills on my lvl 16, and I only do 1v1s. I finished with a record of 100-22. A k/d almost at 5. I can only think of two REAL deaths from an actual player, not a rush in aggravation that I "kite" or "run"

    Kiting is Skill, Face the Facts.

    Even though, people don't accept kiters very well... They come in the hate scale after spwaners and rushers... Weird, huh?

    Ikr! Rushers and spawners are just plain old rude. Kiting is a skill, not an action

    That's just the nature of any kind of pvp (to include fps), people will always have an issue with something, campers, spawners, kiters, etc. Basically if your winning they're hatin'.

    aiiiigghhhhhttttttttt
    u can kite at basically any level, including 26
    kiting is not only about the range of your weapon but your skills sooooooo you can avoid your opponents skills while you do yours
    srsly pls know what kiting isss b4 u talk about it in such a manner
    in fact, i respect people who can kite well because its hard to do
    and its not noobish either because not anybody can kite and it helps take advantage of your regen and protects you (because you have low armor, etc.)
    and most people dont hate it ( if you do hate it, its cuz u cant kite or and cant even fight well)

    what ipro said..One reason I love kiters is because they are SOOO skilled at pvp, they barely get hit! I personally choose not to kite unless I alreayd fought the person a few times. i wanna see if I can win without kiting before going to kiting. But yeah kiters will be kiters. Haters will be haters. Kiters get booted,rushed, and trash talked. Haters get kills and kills. Its how it goes. Unless the kiter makes his/her own game :P

    im just gonna say it flat out. I can live with with kiters until a certain point. When u say kiting takes skill, idk if i can agree or disagree with that, its pretty much running. As a dex bird it becomes frustrating when all u you see is dex mages (autobow of course) running away from you (with their 100+ crit) while smashing heal. 2 autos will kill me and they didnt even have to do a skill. Thats my case, idk whether u agree or not.

    Thorn root is a very good skill :P Face it, most people who hate kiters hate it because they are losing. Running is different. Runners waste your buff or run until they can catch you without a vital skill. But lots of people hate kiters because they cannot win. My advice to them....Try playing differently....or....Leave the game. Spazzing out and trash talking wont help you win

    I deff agree with pahud! No questions asked..... Kiting proves nothing... Now if u can straight up ko someone in a straight up pvp then that takes more skill then the opposite player what clearly show u have more speed and more skill and to do so u have the skill to know the opposite players weakness! easy as pie for the most part :] haha btw if u don't have a fast device u might wanna stay outta pvp till u do!

    I would think if a player was elite at pvping they wouldn't have to be concern with how another player plays...

    pro tip...if someone is kiting you, dont chase them. Run the opposite direction, out of their attack range. They'll run towards you to try to get back in range, then you turn and run towards them and suddenly you're in attack range. And like someone else said using a crossbow sacrifices a good bit of damage for the range, so once you get in range you have a pretty significant advantage

    First off, decent kiters don't get killed, not even touched at times. I've faced everyone on that list. They will all say I "run" when I don't even run, my repulse shot does all the work for me. Only 2 skills plus a repulse, repeat, dead enemy. And Vv can't counter kite for the life of him. Unless that counts raging and rushing me serval times after. Blitz left a few of my games cause I "run" If these so called "pros" are dying from kiters why don't they kite? Simple answer: THEY CAN'T They don't have the skill to preform it properly.

    Well said Buddy.
    Kiting does take skill! I remember when you started to kite me with your 20 I didn't know how to handle it. Then I tried to kite but I sucked at first. It took A LONG TIME, probably 1000 1v1s to really start mastering it. lol
    yes you can kite at 26

    Exactly, finally.

    Yes, kiting is a skill, but to avoid and counter being kited is an even better skill.
