I know about this one... haven't found a good solution yet. If there are only a few of them it may help to burstrun up and knockdown before they know what hit them. Otherwise it seems the only option is to pick up a ranged knockdown or to just die... It's not unusual that I get kited a several hundred meters from the mission base. The conclusion is in agreement with yours... very annoying

LOL sorry ^ that's just what I get while being kited. Annoying ain't it?

unarmedlunge works well vs npcs and, but I've found in pvp, hitting unarmedlunge at 5m I still get the above message over and over and over. It's strange...

and there was much rejoicing...

pistol IV health shot... not a lot of damage but it brings them back to you.

Thanks to Vasarian Brandy I am now the town drunk and ONLY go to the AA meetings to brag about the killing spree done during my drunken rage.

I generally kill everything except the medics first. Then I will find a tree, rock, or structureto hide behind. This will cut off their line of site and normally cause them to come looking for me or get into melee range.

The professions of this game are like 32 spice fiends in the same room with a few fences. Everyone is screaming for their their fix. If you try to give everyone a little bump at the same time, nobody will be satisfied and the screaming will never end. If you single out each one really hook them up , you will slowly end the screaming. I know my turn is coming, but it still does not ease the pain of realizing I am nobody's favorite ho.

BTW, I enjoy the Ninja aspect of being TKA. Sometimes I just go sneaking aroudn hunting random mobs.Before I ever think of attacking I almost always analyze the terrain, and have a game plan on how to use it. Most mobs who dont have line of site on you will eventually come to you and even switch to melee. Using terrain and learning to take cover is one of the most fundamental combat principlas of any combat profession. TKA rules in this area if you just use it correctly.

If your talking about PvP.. just hide in the cantina

If they really want to kill ya.. they have to come inside. At which point you may lay the smack down.

Shape and substance day by day will vanish.
Hair and teeth will gradually fall away.
Always from the days of old men has it been this way
And none born can escape this thing.

As a few people have said, use the terrain. Move around, duck behind anything you can - trees, rocks, whatever. Even if it appears to be waist high, if it blocks line of sight it's as good as a sixty foot wall - they still know you're on the other side but they can't shoot you. Usually the NPC will come to you, and that's the end of them.

One thing which works pretty well on NPCs (since they are quite dumb, typically) is just to run the other way and get out of their range. Half the time they'll go melee and charge you (again, they're dumb), and if not you're now out of range and can find some cover or heal quickly if you need to.

Of course if you're already fairly close to the kiter you're better off lunging to stop them for a moment, then close in and beat on them. Apparently the distance you maintain when using the /follow command on your target in combat has been cut in half, meaning /follow should now keep you in range once you get there.
