lostsaga gold

Kiting: This term basically means nothing more then 'running away from danger', moving around like a kite in the wind can do. This form of damage mitigation can be very effective. The simplest way to show this lostsaga gold is to do a guild scrimmage.

First let a warrior chop (no skills used, simple attacks, only Sprint and Frenzy on his bar) into your monk, while you only cast Healing Touch and see how long you can survive while standing still. Then repeat this, with only difference that you can run around. You'll then realize what a huge difference kiting can make.

Kiting doesn't only affect warriors or other melee characters. Also arrows of rangers can miss if you kite around, as well as any other projectiles.

I'm sure some of you remember the Dodge ball game during the 'Dragon Festival', where the trick was to kite Lightning Orbs.

Kiting can also take place before the damage starts hitting you. If you see a warrior coming for you, you might as well run away from him before he gets to you, which lets him waste precious time if he continues the chase. This is what some players call 'pre-kiting'.
