Kiting should only be used by Trooper and Tundrus because of not having any chance to fight close ranged. Nethers can fight closed ranged, so can Tempus. Nether is NOT meant to kite, its not meant for anything really. Its just supposed to be a high damaging character to confuse the opponent, going to the front and behind of the opponent repeatedly. Think about: Nether description says its a Nether is ' An offensive katana samurai who wields the power of the void.'. The void is known for being everywhere, intern meaning that, it is supposed to jump behind and infront of the opponent to kill it. Nethers have moves that change its play style, from jumping around to, when the opposition thinks the nether will jump behind him, use stuff like Pulse Field and Sonic Strike. It is meant to confuse, not to run. AND if you think kiting is the only way for nether to be useful, than you simply suck at Strife!. (but hey, thats just a theory, a GAME THEORY!!!! [im so sorry{not sorry at all}]) i'm sorry but you must've been misreading what i've been trying to say.

i could've used better words but english is not my native language.

my definition of kiting in a nutshell is to literally make your enemy chase you around, dealing damage to them while not receiving (or little) damage at the same time, your enemies not unlike a kite. i 'did not mean't that my definition of kiting is to waste your enemies' mana while running. 'think of it as baiting an enemy. not to mention that my definition of kiting is also based on someone else's (and quite the majority).

also, what the hell

kiting is much more practical as a nether whose defense is a mere 0.9 and has a lower chance of escaping a battle once hitted by an enemy. you, as a nether, would not like to get hit by an enemy. oh yeah, did you also know that nether is a class that kinda impliments hit-n'-run strategies and tactics, and that ''kiting is also a hit-n'-run technique? ''

your so-called "confusion strategy" can also be classified as a hit-n'-run strategy. that's a good way to play nether, but claiming that nether is not mean't to kite, while it is a class with emphasis on hit-n'-run is kinda contradictory and ironic.
