| − | 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. |

| − | Warlocks who are specced for Curse of Exhaustion can also use this technique to kite mobs, provided that the target is not immune to slowing effects. It is difficult, but not impossible, to kill certain mobs this way if they are immune to Fear (a tactic that can work against enemy officers in Alterac Valley.) |

| − | ===Additional Notes=== |
||
| − | *[[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]]. |
||
| − | * For long kites as a [[Hunter]], using a lesser rank of [[Arcane Shot]] can save mana. |
||
| − | * 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 to damage them consistently in order to maintain the mob's 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. |
||

||
| − | * There is also a [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=stYUrIk8Iu0&mode=related&search= video] of [[Lord Kazzak]] being kited to [[Stormwind]], in order to wreak havoc on the city. Unfortunately, Kazzak is no longer kiteable, being chained. Another example of raid kiting is [[Azuregos]] kited to [[Orgrimmar]], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=94QkUsd3Xro here]. |

| − | **''Note that kiting (raid) bosses to heavily populated areas such as faction capitals, most likely resulting in a large number of characters being unwillingly involved (in an encounter), is a punishable offence in the eyes of Blizzard.'' |
