Kiting Explained

Kiting Explained and Questions
Q: Well then, do you have any tips on how to kite efficiently?

A: Each mob in GSO when it spawns either moves vertically or horizontally. (When it spawns and you are away from it, it will chase you in one of those directions first). You can use this to manipulate bosses and mobs because they focus on that axis first.

For example, if you have a mob on the top right side, you are in the middle. If he moves downwards than he is a vertical spawn. You can then move upwards and make sure that you are never directly horizontal from him while attacking him. This will cause him to keep moving up and down while he can never get close to you. You can manipulate this if he is horizontal too: just the opposite way.

Another part of kiting is knowing when the mob will attack and how long until their next attack. Each same type of mob will attack at the exact same rate every single time. You have to practice watching this and know when they will attack so you can move your character anticipating their attack.

The last mine dungeon shoots 4 projectiles, you cannot dodge in between them and need to master the timing at which the golems each attack. No mob can attack you unless you are within its range; kite, manipulate, and group up the similar moving axis mobs into one area. They will attack when they see you and this causes them to attack at the same, which you can use to predict when to move.

Once you have these two things down, you can manipulate multiple mobs at once and take out all the vertical or horizontal spawns first. Each mob will only move two different ways, manipulate them, watch their attack and take out the ones charging you first.
