I'm kinda suprised that nobody has talked about quad-kiting so to help all the young wizards out there I'll post about how to quad-kite.
You start out quad-kiting at 34 when you get CoF(circle of force). There are 2 items that you must have to quad:SoW and Staff of Temperate Flux. I started out quading in IC, and whatever people tell you I suggest not Quading the kitties. Instead quad the shadow gaurdians outside ToFS.They have fixed routes they go on, don't help each other, and are much slower than the kitties, have a zone nearby to run to, and dispite their appierance dont have a high cold resist. Do not bind yourself in the zone you are quading in. Spells I suggest up at 34 are: ice shock, frost shock, CoF, BoF, tishan, yonder, harvest, and gate. You pull what you want to to kite using SoTF(make a hotkey for it). Once you have what you want run in a big circle. DO NOT hold down the turn arrow key, only the run. Instead tap the turn. Once you have completed 1 circle, check your pulls by turning around and running backwards. If they are nice and tight begin running away from them, if not repeat the circle process. When you begin running away click your SoTF until you get the target is out of range message about 4 or 5 times then click BoF until it casts on them. If you snag all of them it is pretty simple, Click SoTF until you are out of range and then cast CoF. Do that until they are dead, but if one or more resists, then you have to target one that resisted and run until you are out of range and cast BoF again until it doesn't resist. If you use over one bubble of mana trying to snare I suggest you zone out and retry. Now once you have snared the resisters you have to bring them back together. I usually stand in the middle of the 2 groups until they get to close for comfort;then run in a smaller circle than you did at the beginning. Run out of range and cast BoF until none resist and then do whats above. Now if they resist CoF and the rest are running except this one, begin running away until out of range and cast your highest damaging spell that you can afford which will probably kill it, but now you are out of mana or close to it and the creatures gated back to where they spawned from. So cast harvest and begin picking them one by one using a spell from 1 or 2 spell lvls ago. If you waited too long to kill one just leave it alone.
Thats about it. Enjoy the hunt.
