In response to this thread, I ask you search for the threads regarding bard solo-kiting the entire eastern plains of Karana, and runspeed issues.

It's not necessarily the runspeed that gets you, it's the fact that they have long arms. You'll be well out of range and they'll still melee you if you're running in a straight line.

Temporary solution to this? Strafe+run forward and a few jumps to get you away. As long as you're not dropping AGI due to low health, you'll outrun just about everything you come across.

Also, berating the coders for something that has been addressed MULTIPLE TIMES in far better ways is a good way to see your report ignored, deleted, or your account tempo-banned.

TL;DR
