Kiting

**Loveless** · 05-24-2010, 09:26 PM

Got back into Fiesta again lately and started on an Archer. I've had one that was 60+ but never played when Nature's Mist became a kiting skill so any tips on solo kiting after 51...? :3

What do you mean by tips?

There's nothing to it!

I've gotten used to not looking ahead and just looking back. Camera view wise, I mean. I use the map in the top right to guide my character. Allows me to keep track of my mobs (so I don't screw others over and can catch ks'ers) and at the same know where I am going. Can kinda approximate when they will be dead, so I aim for a spot where I will end with no more mobs coming after me.

Not really any tips there.. but.. ideas?

Here's a tip.. go with what you feel is right. To me.. kiting is kinda personal LOL. So many people(Archers) will be like "You're doing it wrong" but if you aren't dying and are still getting things done.. who cares?

I'm familiar with kiting with a ranged character. Not so much with Fiesta's archer.

Was looking for better places to like particular mobs/maps that's better for kiting, etc. But... yeah, nevermind.

Are you playing on Teva or Apoline? o:

Well. Weakened ogres.. best place is by the GC gate to kite, IMO. That what you mean? Then bats in SEG...

I don't know how much has changed since you have been gone o_o

Abyss.. Love it there.. (when it's rather empty) in the 6x there's 3 rooms (4th corner is just a corridor) on top left corner that you can go around in, and pick up your drops too when you circle the path again..an hour gives about 10%+

but you'll need some T1 speed scrolls, and I always put T3 def/vit coz the first bunch that you get can hurt and the pinkies are a little bit annoying.. (if you dont scroll up I think you'll find yourself hving to go restone more often)

Aim scroll helps with getting more crits happening too..

I'm in the same boat you are - started leveling my archer and am L55 now. I think SEG is a great training area for kiting, and also like the ridge in Collapsed Prison for King Colls, vivis, weakened ogres as more of a challenge avoiding obstacles. Not quite ready for the abyss yet, still working out the timing on spamming mist and stoning - died a few times getting caught trying to mist and getting stunned....lol
