Map kiting in Crossworlds

Well Kalil, kiting is a bit of an artform and takes practice. I know that some people don't like to do it for gameplay reasons - that's a perfectly reasonable approach IMHO. I actually like to do it and look forward to it on every new character I start. You can kite almost every map guard unless it is "stuck". I remember when I started in Crossworlds I was a bit frustrated that it took so long for a successful kite with some map guarding mobs but now (after much practice) it is easy as pie.

For practice remember to save literally every "click" and go back to a good place if you get the ?????? or if your character gets in a unwinnable jam. Watch the patterns of the patrolling mobs (if any), and learn the agro radius of the various types of guard mobs. Yes, the type of guard mob changes the kiting pattern.
