Great posts but I have a lot to learn about kiting, and perhaps that it's only because I'm 19, but I have little luck and end up getting hit more than anything.

Try turning spell particles fully off. Also turn your sky off, helps a lot. You won't crash as much. You WILL crash though, its unavoidable unless you have a super nice machine.

Aye spell particles off and filter DoT damage to hide. Try to make those dots landing the least troublesome on your computer.

As for OT at 20, I think I did EK till like 20/21, went to OT to 24 where it slowed down, then headed off to SK till 28, in retrospect I should have stayed there till like 31/32 probably.

In OT I only do cactus/birds, I avoid the others as they have larger hit ranges, tigers/rhinos I have trouble getting CoD on them so if I pick them up i am careful and just put denons on them. This goes for all time I spent in OT.

In SK I did the whole aviak thing at once. Also there is a centaur village. I did this to 28 but I'd probably go to 30 if I did again as OT was long/hard at 28. No faction hits from either also, so you can sell right to their merchants after slaughtering the whole crew. Note to watch out for the one hut with named in it at the centaur village as he runs faster. I was actually able to toss quillimane into one of my AE kites there and it died faster than the centaur lol.

At 30ish you can go back to OT and pull all the cactus/birds you see and kill em down, I usually kited just south of the static spawn sarnak south of SF ramp. This got me to 44 usually yielding from 15-50% a pull.

Up to 49.5 now and think I have it mapped out to 55, where I guess I will have to figure out BW from the sounds of it

Yeah BW is your next stop. You wanna pull bees, gorillas, and skeletons. Also be very careful with the gorillas. I always turn around and tab through my swarm otw back to my kiting spot to make sure there's no Gullerbacks in there. Nothing sucks more than having a kite halfway dead to get summoned on top of it and insta-die.
