Also, I almost always get hit when I cast the DOT - it is possible not to get hit at all (with some excellent timing) but even if you get hit when casting the DOT, it doesn't cause enough damage to make aoe kiting impossible, because Selo's will let you outrun the mobs and avoid getting hit when not casting the DOT, and the regen spell will let your health catch up while you're running away from mobs and the dot is still going.

Just to clarify, you can swing in (when I say swing in, I mean make your circle tighter) slowly, so timing isn't really an issue once you get the hang of it. The timing is only important as to how fast you tap you left turn or right turn keys, to maintain your circle.

I like this post. Honestly though it's not as complicated as it sounds - as the OP said you eventually just kind of learn how to time things when aoe kiting. Also, I almost always get hit when I cast the DOT - it is possible not to get hit at all (with some excellent timing) but even if you get hit when casting the DOT, it doesn't cause enough damage to make aoe kiting impossible, because Selo's will let you outrun the mobs and avoid getting hit when not casting the DOT, and the regen spell will let your health catch up while you're running away from mobs and the dot is still going.

Also, if you find this too risky, just stick to fear kiting - you can kill most blue con mobs without ever getting hit once with fear kiting.

lol, You are a moron

[Smashu]

so does the old charm swarm kite still work later on or is that one of the problems with charm people always cry about?

[Cribanox]

Im assuming it would, smashu, without much problem.
