    Kite kirin,
    I know this comes off rather dumb, but I just haven't seen success without move-speed for a kiter, so how do i kited Kirin? Using the pillars I've seen/heard, is there a specific way to thread 'em? Blink casting for hate? /nin? We tried this once and our PLD got hit with Deadly-hold fast then faced, was this too slow WHMs, or should the PLD have never been caught?

    Is not hard to kite, anyone with /nin can do it,you just gotta time ur shadows correctly , and if they down dont stop ,kirin stop way often to cast and/or do that wind/breath move that wont interrupt or take shadows of.Also is really easy to outrun TP moves, making him stop giving you a small window to recast or whatever, flash/ja/HP down macro-selfcure is enough to provide you with enough hate.
    Your pld just need more practice ,
    Take 2 kiters if u want to be safe, also make sure your healers do erase asap the bind from deadly hold and/or ur co-kiter knows when to take hate of you if u are in trouble, is rly easy even w-o movement +.
    Is more important to stay out of range when he start casting stonega couse when kiting it will 1shoot you.

    I just stright tank it now days , is a lot more fun, and safer than zerg, altought zerg is the way to go.

    edit; Also dont shout for members, you can do it with 12 if u can succesfully kill the lessers with 10 people,
    When it comes down to kirin, Missing DMG ? Straight tank it, Geting beat down? kite it,
    This takes some skills tought so if u cant do this just do other stuf until ur strong enough.
    If you have extra seals give it a go and dont get discouraged if you loose , YOU DONT ALWAYS HAVE TO WIN no matter what everyone might say, and honestly the good members will stand by you and try again,it is fun, you learn from your own mistakes more than what anyone can tell you on a forum 90% of the time.I know is hard at this date and time, but there is nothin more rewarding than growing together with the same players over time and gain experience working together as a team.
    I been a ls leader for 6years, and you will learn to value loyalty and support over anythin else, just as i have .
    But Rly , dont shout, is unhealthy

    pld war and bst make good kiters for kirin. movement speed is optional, but it helps a lot. i've kited him on both war and bst many many times.
    dont forget that he will occasionally stop to cast spells. as long as it is not sleepga or stonega IV you can just stop (outside of melee range but inside casting range, 10'-30') and wait for the spell to go off and get absorbed by shadows. this is also lots of time to put up shadows again, even ichi.
