from the wiki Kite - To attack a creature then root or freeze it and run away from it, keeping it at distance, turning to shoot it occasionally and root or freeze it again. Method is used to keep it busy or whittle its health down

this sound to me more like extending where as kiting to me is like when you keep shit out of melee range but your casters can still blow it up but just an opinion~



kiting is generaly a solo activity, not group, and the definition is accurate... trying to kite a mob while in a group, often leads to over extending ones self though...

Pre-Kite is used when grouping and has nothing to do with slowing/rooting ppl.
