I would greatly appreciate a writeup of "Kiting for fun and profit" by one of our resident pros, be they mage or hunter or ? I would tend to trust the info from authors here more, but if you have a really good link for such a guide, that would also be appreciated.
Some of us just failed the king/tribute portion of a DM north run. When we got to the final battle, I found out I was supposed to kite the observer. I had never kited before, at least not to the best of my knowledge (maybe I actually have but didn't know that was what it was). I had always taken it to mean to slow the baddie and then move around to keep him at a distance, letting dots do damage without them touching the player. Actually, in the observer's case it was to not kill him but keep him out of the battle with the king. However, as soon as he was at distance he blasted me with fireballs and up close he pounded on me. Specifics for this would be good too but would mostly appreciate a general how-to guide.
