unforunately in this game the monsters can run (or hop or whatever o.o) either as fast as you or faster. Almost no monster is slower than you. So kiting is basically useless, besides when you get higher lvl, kiting will just kill you. All monsters at higher lvls are agros. So if you are kiting, you are bound to run into a few agros and kill yourself gg.
Just take the hits like a man, you got dex, rely on it sometimes
