Fear kiting will always be the best way for those single target kills. Don't just selos and run kite. If they chase you, DoT's only do 75% dmg while mobs are moving, but if feared they do 100%.

You will want to be about 50(+) to do cycle completely. You can kill the forage / hunter at a much lower level, but GL not dying to Harbinger nukes when your fear barely lands and he nukes you to death.

Thanks for this I did think the previous dude omitted the idea of getting nuked by casters.

So you don't think the warrior could take enough aggro to take the nukes before he had to flee? Does hitting a feared mob break it?

Perhaps I'll aim for 50, what special gear helps with fear kiting?

EDIT: If you root or snare a feared target does it act not feared and stay and fight?

Not "always". With fear you can't control the pathing, which sucks in a zone with roamers. And if it's much higher level than you, your fear will get resisted and it will turn and hit you, and you'll have to kite it to heal anyways.

So? The question is to kill a quest mob at a low level, not farm XP as fast as possible

I guess the warrior could pre-preemptively kill the roamers or at least zone them before they aggro...

Yeah exp ain't the aim, it's fun and platinum from selling the items.

To clarify are you saying if you get wounded you'd stop fearing and conventionally kite and sing heal song?
