Can you kite in this game?
|
Just started playing as a witch and I noticed right away how long it takes to move after you attack/cast a spell. I use a spell and it takes like a full second until I can move again. This makes it almost impossible to kite enemies. I can't just easy do attack, move, attack, move...Are there stats that make this better or is this just how the game is made? Like does faster cast speed make it so you can actually kite?

You will do a little bit of kiting, nowhere near the amount of...that 'other' game. Good luck to you, hero.
When you're right, no one remembers. When you're wrong, no one forgets.

As you get higher levels it is easier to do. It does feel different from other games but after you get used to it, it's not an issue. I kite everything on my ranger when i need to.

The goal is to find the right balance between defense and offense where you only need to Kite bosses and hard unique/rare mobs.
However, players do move faster than mobs and latter when you have more movement speed/attack/cast speed, you can kite if you choose to. Last edited by Rollback#5721 on Jan 25, 2013, 1:19:51 AM

Yeah I noticed this today when playing my witch too, I thought it was my 350 ping but apparently it's just the design.

I see I see. I guess I'm just used to the quick cast and move style of gameplay. I'm sure I will get used to it. I was just curious if this was just an issue of a low cast speed stat or if it was just part of the game because it is different. Thanks for the helpful posts everyone! I look forward to progressing in this game

Engine can only handle 1 action at a time and running is an action - so gameplay is slowe.

" It would be more accurate to say that the engine is designed to execute only one action at a time. However, this doesn't apply to all actions. . .for example, a potion can be used instantly regardless of the current action. |

You will easily be able to kite as soon as you get enough cast and movement speed.
GGG banning all political discussion shortly after getting acquired by China is a weird coincidence.
