Opopanax.1803 Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 What professions/builds do you think are the best for kiting? I'm looking to make a kiting build for wvw and pvp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InsaneQR.7412 Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 Rangers and thiefs are very good at that. Mesmers too. High mobility is always good for kiting. Try to spec into endurance regeneration, vigor proccing and evades and stunbreaks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teratus.2859 Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 I main a Longbow Ranger so definitely Ranger. I think you can kite fairly well on most things though. I typically advise keeping a range weapon as a secondary anyway, it's always useful to have a weapon that allows you to back off from combat to recover without having to completely give up inflicting damage.

Rysdude.3824 Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 Druid. Most annoying kiter, ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alatar.7364 Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 As was already stated above. Thief, Ranger and Mesmer. I guess Warrior too, to some extent Thief probably best used with S/D. Ranger with Druid specced, or fine as long as you got LB. Mesmer pretty much with anything. Warrior with usual Greatsword. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sephylon.4938 Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 You can also try rife engi. Rocket boots+jump shot make for a clean get-away. Net shot/ turret for extra precaution. Oh and holo makes it even harder to catch with holo leap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opopanax.1803 Posted August 12, 2018 Author Share Posted August 12, 2018 What are most of the skills/traits that are important for ranger/druid kiting? I see some skills on shortbow that would help, and axe 3. How does longbow help you kite? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An aspect of kiting is being able to fight from range,so a *rangeR* using a *LONG* bow(self explanatory) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kako.1930 Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Warriors are pretty good at kiting too, such as the infamous "Nike Warrior." Equip a greatsword, sword/shield, and bull's charge, and you can escape from anything, pretty much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem with druid these days is that it doesn't do much damage with power builds. SB is better IMO, you make up for the lack of staff with GS (or Sword) + Soul Meld pet skills to move around.
