As others have hinted at it's probably your latency, I think it's F11 that shows your network stats with the client / server, make sure your ping time is under 100ms. The latency on my side is usually 60-70ms and I have no issues getting the 30 range dot on without getting hit.

Others things to consider:

- Close chrome or any other applications your not using. I found that having Chrome up was killing my video performance in game.
- Lower the opacity on your particle effects.
- Turn off the dot spamming - optional.

I've never had latency under 100ms. Usually latency is 140-200, aoe kiting was never a problem until ping went north of 230-250ms.

What I DID see make a huge difference was putting p99 on a SSD, turning spell effects lucency way down, and closing other apps or programs that competed for resources.

The real key to success is getting your camera view set up right. Once I figured my trick out, success was all but guaranteed unless internet connection went out. Everyone's got their own tricks, but I haven't watched someone replicate mine yet in a demo video. I figured it out around level 24 and then only died once more between 24 and 45 In taking risk out of the equation kiting got boring and I stopped around level 45 and never went back.

Play around with different setups and ideas.

Grouping is more fun.
