| − | To '''Kite''' or kiting is a [[combat]] tactic of a [[Player Character|player character]] keeping a [[mob]] or another player at a certain distance, usually out of melee distance but within [[ranged]] attack, and luring the pursuer toward your direction while dealing [[damage]] at the same time. This is a tactic best suited for [[class|classes]] who deal most of their damage from range and are weak in [[melee]] range. [[Mage|Mages]] and [[Hunter|Hunters]] are probably the classes who rely on this technique the most. |

||
| − | *[[Snare|Snaring]] spells are useful for this tactic since they keep the pursuer at a certain distance. Although [[root|rooting abilities]] fill this requirement, the slowing movement effect from [[snare|snaring]] spells last longer than [[root|rooting]] spells. Moreover, [[snare]] effects do not risk the chance of breaking if the target get any damage unlike most [[root|rooting]] spells. |
||
| − | * This tactic requires room to run. If you don't have the room due to [[add|adds]] or environmental restrictions (ie you are indoors), you will not be able to kite since you will be unable to gain the range you need. |
||
| − | * Since you will be running around a lot, be careful of [[add|adds]]. |
||
| − | * In [[World of Warcraft]], mobs will run back to their [[spawn]] area if they are kited too far without taking damage. They also regenerate to full [[health]] and [[mana]] once they return. So when kiting you will want damage them consistently in order to maintain the mobs interest. |
||
| − | * A [http://www.warcraftmovies.com/movieview.php?id=2887 video] exists which apparently shows a group pulling a [[Devilsaur]] from [[Un'Goro Crater]] to [[Crossroads]] in [[The Barrens]] by way of a complex kite. |

| − | * Kiting outdoor bosses can be useful in a raid on a enemy faction's city for example one group pulled Lord Kazzak from the blasted lands to stormwind instead of bringing a huge raid http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=stYUrIk8Iu0&mode=related&search= Unforutanly kazzak is no longer kiteable as he is chained |
