Article fails to understand what "KITING" means.

Article claims "Kiting is a process wherein a monster's attack is dodged, and then the monster is hit immediately after."

That is not a description of "KITING." That is a description of COMBAT, or to be more accurate, an ATTACK/DODGE PATTERN.

ATTACKING is not KITING.

DODGING is not KITING.

An ATTACK/DODGE PATTERN is not KITING.

KITING is the process of pulling/dragging a mob behind the player at a distance, as if the player were flying the mob like a KITE. Once melee combat is engaged, all semblance of "KITING" has ended. Attacking and dodging are not KITING anymore than American Football Players or Boxers or MMA champions KITE each other -- which is to say -- not at all. All of those sports (like Don't Starve) have attack/dodge patterns. But an attack/dodge pattern (also known as COMBAT) is not the same as KITING.
